Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Catherine Martin is multiple Oscar winning costume designer and production designer.

She’s won four of those statues, and has been nominated a further nine times.

In collaboration with her husband Baz Luhrmann they’ve created some of the most visually stunning images you’ve seen in film and advertising in the last thirty years.

Strictly Ballroom, Romeo and Juliet, Australia, The Great Gatsby, Elvis - Nicole Kidman’s Chanel No5 campaign - the visual artistry that just showed up in your head? The clothes? Leo’s amazing shirt? That one too? All Catherine. She’s truly something.

This conversation covers the use of restriction in creativity, the joy of problem solving, Identifying useful and challenging aspects of one’s brain, balancing obsessiveness and perfection with the imperfections of life, The transition to parenthood and the change in perspective, and the reinvigoration of work through the lens of parenthood.

She’s an absolutely stunning human, and I couldn’t be more overjoyed that she said yes to coming on the show.

Liz Ellis is a former Australian netball player and sports commentator, and about to host the brand new season of GLADIATORS on Ten.

Liz is considered one of the greatest netball players of all time, having won multiple world championships, 4 x MVP awards and two Commonwealth Games gold medals.

‌

She’s got a lot to say about work ethic, resilience, women’s sport, and something we don’t really hear about - elite female athletes and fertility.

‌

I absolutely loved this chat. She’s so epic.

I know you’ll get a lot out of it.

In the world of professional surfing, Tom Carroll is a legend. Through the 80s and 90s, he dominated professional surfing, becoming the first surfer to sign a multi-million dollar contract. In 1983 and 1984 he twice achieved the pinnacle of his sport when he became back to back world champion.

But it’s what Tom has achieved out of the water which is possibly even more incredible.

In today’s episode he talks about how he found him self sliding down the slippery slope of addiction, how that addiction began to take everything that he loved away from him, had him trapped in a cycle of drug abuse that was heading towards a very grim end.

But Tom knew he needed help, and thankfully he was able to get that help.

And it was at South Pacific Private that Tom first got help.

I’m no stranger to talking about recovery from drugs and alcohol - it’s a part of my story and a huge reason why I started this show. Because I didn’t know that not drinking and using was an option.

I wanted to have conversations out there which could demonstrate that there was an alternative and that help was available if you needed it.

And because of that, I’m grateful to partner with South Pacific Private to bring you this episode. South Pacific Private is Australia's leading treatment centre, and has been treating the underlying causes of addiction, anxiety, and depression in Australia for 30 years.

If that sounds like something you’re interested in you can take a free self-assessment for a variety of conditions on their website at southpacificprivate.com.au .

And if you need them - Their team is available to chat 7 days a week on 1800 063 332

Tom Carroll is a recovering addict, and his journey of redemption is nothing short of inspiring. It's a story of resilience, strength, and finding hope even in the darkest of times.

He’s an incredible wise man, and even if you don’t have a problem with any substance, gambling, or any other kind of addiction - the wisdom Tom has to share about untreated trauma, and taking responsibility for your choices and your situation is absolutely transformative.

What would you have liked to accomplish by 25? Was being the co-founder and CEO of an independent Australian news commentary platform providing informed, progressive opinions on subjects that sit at the intersection of feminist, social and political issues on your list? What about having completed a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Master of Publishing, Editing and Writing?

Today I am joined by Hannah Ferguson who is the co-founder and CEO of Cheek Media Co. Hannah has written and released her first novel; Bite Back. A ground-breaking debut that launches in and tackles many of the thorniest social and political issues facing young women in Australia today.

With her book Bite Back, Hannah leads the charge on the discourse we’ve been missing, from how to have hard conversations with loved ones, to the realities of reforming a criminal justice system that isn’t fit for purpose and the future of the #MeToo movement.

Hannah and I have an in depth discussion where we talk about the importance of media and legal literacy, the value of critical thinking, and the use of fear as a commodity.

Toni Lodge is a comedian, podcaster and author originally from Perth WA. Originally working in commercial radio, Toni has leapt to the world of podcasting where she’s found enormous success with her show “Toni & Ryan”.

In her book I Don’t Need Therapy (and Other Lies I Tell Myself) Toni presents a hilarious book of essays all based on lies.

Because we all lie to ourselves to make the choices we’re not thrilled about feel more OK.

But after this chat, I know I felt a little different about some of those lies - I hope you do to.

Enjoy this chat with Toni Lodge.
