What do you need to truly stay happy in your own head, day after day? The answer won't be the same every day, and it definitely won't be the same for everyone. However, truly knowing the answers for ourselves is one of the single most important things we can do. And the sooner we can find those answers, the better. 

That's according to Ian Hickie, one of Australia's foremost experts on mental health, and James O'Loghlin, his collaborator, broadcaster and fellow mental health advocate. In this episode, they join Osher to guide us through the process of finding those answers, including:

• The most effective way to monitor and track your mental health
• The importance of finding what works for YOU
• Why you should prioritise what makes you happy
• How to set boundaries
• What you can and cannot change about yourself

And more

When's the last time you ask why you do what you do? 

From work to working out, Osher has had many reasons and motivations in the course of his life. Some of these have led him to unthought-of levels of performance and satisfaction. Others have led to a self destructive spiral.

Sam Wood is here to share his biggest insights into what really motivates us, what doesn't, and ways to make change for the better that sticks.

He opens up to Osher about his own ever-changing 'whys', his surprisingly down to earth personal approach to exercise and fitness, his journey of step-parenting and, yes, some previously unheard tales from the Bachelor...

Turning to some kind of higher power is a key component in many addiction recovery programs. And, as discussed in Osher's recent chat to 360, there's a good reason for that: it helps. 

But why? What does a high power even look like outside of religion? And how can this idea help us in our lives even outside of addiction?

Matt Colwell, better known by his stage name 360, is not the person he was. In this raw and personal conversation, he takes Osher through his full journey - from the romanticised partying rockstar, to self described 'total junkie', to rehab, reset, recovery and reinvention.

He outlines the tricks his ego played to keep him in the grips of addiction, how small actions were crucial in transforming his body and mind, the tools he now uses to get by and perform in sobriety and finally how he found faith, and exactly what that gives him.

🚨SPOILER ALERT FOR SUNDAY 20th OF JULY'S BROADCAST OF DWTS🚨

Osher's been a part of reality TV for a long time, but Dancing with the Stars made him do something he's never done before.

Cam Walker isn't here to tell about 'one weird trick that will 10x your life.' He's not even trying to inspire you. But he does know firsthand what it's like to be lost in the depth of feelings of doom, and exactly what helped him slowly reach a place a bit more colourful.

That's the basis for his new book 'Doom and Bloom: The Case For Creativity In A World Hooked On Panic.'

In this chat, he tells Osher all about it, plus his learnings on being more creative, how creativity has been essential in his life, why a lot of self-help isn't actually helpful, how he navigates the common compulsion of social media, the secrets to a long-lasting relationship and why attention can be life or death.

If you feel like you're not living the kind of life you want, and if you feel like you're avoiding more than you're taking action to change that, then you might be what Dr Emily Musgrove calls 'stuck'.

In this episode, Dr Emily, the clinical psychologist (regularly heard on 'The Imperfects' podcast') and author of the new book 'Unstuck: A Guide to Finding Your Way Forward to the Life You Want to Live' tackles this all too common feeling and shares simple ways to disarm the many things that paralyze us - from emotions, to stress, to the old stories that no longer serve us.
