Few things can wound a person as much as betrayal. As your whole world comes crashing down around you, how can you hold onto reality? How do you move on with your life?

Tracy Hall is a high-powered single mum in the corporate world. She was left absolutely devastated by emotional and financial betrayal perpetrated by one of the world's most prolific con men, Hamish McLaren. Tracy is now ready to talk about how she re-built her life. She’s not just surviving, she’s thriving.

Osher describes how yesterday he discovered an underlying freeze response which he didn’t realise was playing havoc with his life.

‌

Join him for an exploration in to how if we’re not in “fight” or “flight” we can become immobile, literally frozen and unable to speak.

‌

(He also manages to work the hunting habits of South African Killer Whales into this conversation, which was a nice surprise. You won’t believe their favourite snack).

After his chat with Jodi on Wednesday, Osher was reminded about his experience with a fascinating way to develop theory of mind: The Three Chairs Technique.

While it sounds like mental musical chairs, it’s actually quite powerful and super accessible.

Have you tried this one? What techniques do you use when you come across adversity?

Are you someone who is in a relationship with a person that has a different brain? A husband, your wife, one of your siblings, a parent - or even one of your kids.

Today Osher's guest is Jodi Rodgers.

Through her work on the fabulous TV series “Love on the spectrum”, Jodi turned the spotlight onto the humanity, longing for connection and need for intimacy in all of us by exploring what those things mean for neurodivergent people.

This episode is wall-to wall-with tools, techniques, advice - and a heap of validation.

Inspired by an early morning, bicycle-bound hunt through his neighbourhood with Wolfgang as they searched for a noisy jackhammer, Osher talks about the transformative power of curiosity.

Drawing on examples from his own life, and discussing how curiosity can transform a situation, a relationship, or even ourselves.

Burpees.

You hate them

I hate them

Why? 

Because they are pretty much the best whole-body exercise you can do in a confined space. 

If you had to pick on exercise to do for the rest of your life, bang-for-buck - it's probably the burpee.

But what about keeping your mind fit?

In this episode Osher offers up a technique to train the observing mind to get more involved, more often.

It's simple to learn, and can have profound impacts on how we react to things.

How many people are in your village?

It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things.

Without that support or purpose, things can get out of balance.

Osher is joined by broadcaster and the founder of Gotcha4Life, Gus Worland. He has dedicated his career to helping people, mostly men - actively work on building that village. He never intended to do it, however when he got the call, Gus went all in.

In this open and honest episode, Osher talks through dealing with the horrific events of Saturday Afternoon.

Today Osher reflects on what he learned from this week's conversation with Sylvia Jefferys.

In particular, two powerful lessons; learning from a job as another way to get value other than a pay packet, and helpful ways to think about the world when our newsfeeds are an avalanche of sadness and woe.
