My guest is Sophie Matterson. In 2019 Sophie's desire for a different kind of life led her to set an audacious goal – to walk across the width of Australia, covering an astounding 5000 kilometres, from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Byron Bay in New South Wales.
Sophie was joined on this journey by her five camels, and together they faced life-and-death situations, braved harsh weather conditions, and overcame the challenges of solitude and going weeks without encountering another soul.
Sophie's journey was not just about conquering the physical terrain; it was also a quest for self-discovery and personal growth which she captures in her memoir “The Crossing”. Today Sophie shares with me the highs and lows, the challenges, and the moments of sheer wonder that defined her year-long odyssey.

To resist change is to resist the very nature of the universe that we are living in. We are moving through space at 230 kilometres per second, change is the only constant in our lives. And yet, when things alter or become different, most of us struggle.
Today, Osher will explore ways to not only embrace change, but celebrate it. Remembering that we are moving through space at all times, can help our problems feel a lot less challenging and a lot more manageable.

Embrace the discomfort of change while traveling at 230kms per second

Can you draw? How many goes would you give yourself to try before you gave me an answer?
After @theguiltyfeminist host, comedian and writer \@dfdubz dropped by, Osher had a few thoughts on learning, exploring, and how many goes you might give yourself (and what you’re missing out on if you’re not).

How many things did you not stick with because you weren't good straight away? The gift of giving yourself more goes.

You failed? Great!      ‘The Guilty Feminist’ podcast host, comedian and writer Deborah Frances-White believes that embracing our failures is the key to success. We won’t always get everything right, but that’s OK. We learn the most by failing.      Deborah Frances-White joined Osher in Sydney while she was in town for the Australian leg of The Guilty Feminist tour. Deborah shares her story of growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness in Brisbane. It turns out Osher and Deborah went to the same theatre sports school at the same time! They discuss privilege versus access, the importance of belonging, what being our authentic selves really means and how improvised comedy can help us trust our instincts.

How to rediscover your creativity, escape a cult and become a Guilty Feminist along the way, with Deborah Frances-White

Who is ruling whom? Are we in charge, or are our phones? Osher was in a Pilates class and the lady on the mat next to him spent most of the class checking her smart watch. ‌ There is so much scientific research that proves that the notifications on our phones are affecting our brains, our lives and how we connect with other people. ‌ We can get control back of our lives, by changing how we interact with our phones. Osher discusses how we can live better lives without notifications. ‌ For every episode ever, to leave a question voicemail for a Q&A; episode or to subscribe to the mailing list head to  Better Than Yesterday: Osher Günsberg‌

Your phone notifications are messing up your mental health, so here's a way to live life without any pings, rings or dings

Reflecting on Jelena Dokic’s episode, in this episode Osher explores the relationship between resilience and vulnerability.      Vulnerability without resilience is dangerous. If you’re vulnerable without the strength to cope, you’re wide open to calamity.      Like being immunocompromised next to someone coughing—you’re incredibly susceptible to harm.      On the flip side, if you’re resilient without being vulnerable, your relationships, creativity, and ability to connect with others suffer.      Vulnerability shows how susceptible you are to danger or stress, while resilience is your ability to recover from it. The good news is, resilience is something we can build and develop, and in this episode, Osher offer up a few key ways to develop that skill.
