Shared Minds Podcast

The boys break down the day that sent Liam into one of his worst OCD flare-ups yet a day where everything that could go wrong did. From spiralling thoughts to old addictions creeping back in, it all collided at once and led to a full mental crash that forced Liam to finally face the habits and behaviours feeding his anxiety and OCD.

Liam opens up about the fallout that followed: returning to his doctor, speaking with his therapist, and confronting the patterns he’s been carrying for far too long. Kirby sits beside him the whole way, helping unpack the triggers, the emotions, and the deeper meaning behind the chaos of that day.

The boys also dig into the exact techniques and tactics Luke Combs uses to manage his OCD exploring how those tools can be applied when your mind feels completely out of control.

It’s honest, heavy, and filled with practical reminders that even the worst days can become turning points.

In Part 2 We dive deep into the mental health challenges farmers face: the stress of relying on unpredictable weather, the pressure of livestock markets, and the constant uncertainty that can affect every part of their lives. Dave and Bianca share how they coped with financial strain, isolation, and despair, and how they turned that struggle into resilience, purpose, and ultimately, a nationwide business that connects farmers directly with Aussie families.

Dave and Bianca, the founders of Our Cow, to explore the incredible story behind Australia’s leading grass-fed meat delivery company.

We sit down with Dave and Bianca, the husband-and-wife team behind Our Cow now one of Australia’s biggest online meat delivery companies.

But their story didn’t start in success. Just a few years ago, they were barely getting by living off fruit from their farm, watching their animals die through drought, and wondering how they’d survive another season. Out of that desperation came an idea that changed everything: connecting Aussie farmers directly to families across the country through quality, grass-fed meat.

From those early struggles to building a thriving national business, this episode dives deep into resilience, risk, and the power of believing in a vision when everything around you is falling apart.

Even in the heavy moments, we still find time to laugh and keep things real, proving that vulnerability doesn’t have to be gloomy it can be healing.

Liam’s OCD has returned. In this light-hearted but serious episode, we dive into how a night out on the town opened the floodgates for Liam’s OCD. As the aim of our show is to be as vulnerable as possible, we felt the need to share this with everyone, a reminder that you’ll have good days and you’ll have bad days. Just remember, as Tom Hanks said, this too shall pass. Rather than turning it into a gloomy episode, we try to have as much fun as possible to shed some light on the situation.
