    Dr Edna Lekgabe - New Baby… New Brain… Matrescence.

    According to perinatal and reproductive psychiatrist Dr Edna Lekgabe, matrescence is the motherhood equivalent of adolescence. Puberty 2.0, if you will. 💌Join 6,500+ people getting our takeaways and favourite moments from this episode in our weekly newsletter - http://bit.ly/45NyQDy Joining us in the academy of imperfection, Dr Edna explores the cataclysmic identity shift women undergo during motherhood, and how partners can best support them. Exploring the impacts of mastrescence with Hugh, Ryan and Josh, Dr Edna breaks down the difference between matrescence, anxiety and depression, and why mental illness is the number one pregnancy complication. We’re talking hormonal changes, physiological changes, sociological changes that are SO significant, you can see them in brain scans. Matrescence is messy, a developmental earthquake, and it’s not talked about nearly enough.

    EAT. (put the kids to) SLEEP. RAVE. REPEAT?

    So, turns out, Hugh did in fact go to see one of the seven wonders of the world (Chicane Live at Chase’s Nightclub). Obviously, Hugh took the essentials; melatonin and special pillow for neck purposes. It was a big night. In other news, Ryan has entered the Archibald prize with a self-portrait (no, seriously), and Hugh is back with another quote to remind us to celebrate the little moments of joy. 🫖Other episodes of the Imperfects mentioned in this episode; - Dr Emily - Acceptance, That’s Radical - https://bit.ly/4sNIYp3 - Dr Lucy Hone - A Life Worth Grieving - https://bit.ly/3OAmSIP 👨‍🎨 Things to do (art edition) - Watch Ryan’s self-portrait video - https://bit.ly/4tmblfr - Create your own self-portrait and send it in! 🎧 Things to listen to - Chicane - https://bit.ly/3ONwu2Y 📖 Things to read - The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran - https://bit.ly/4dYhqK8 - How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton - https://bit.ly/4dYkdDa

    Esther Perel - It’s Not Them, It’s You

    Are you stuck, focusing on what's wrong in your relationship? Deeply embedded in the work of intimacy, desire and relationships, psychotherapist and best-selling author Esther Perel, ask us to take a look at ourselves first, rather than listing the short comings of our partner. 💌Join 6,500+ people getting our takeaways and favourite moments from this episode in our weekly newsletter - http://bit.ly/45NyQDy In this Academy of Imperfection, Hugh (who sadly was violently ill last time we talked to Esther) comes armed with questions about the mental load (with love, from Penny), and how to navigate their differing needs for affection. Ryan asks Esther whether we’re capable of falling in love with AI, and Josh wants to know why we sometimes put up walls with the ones we love the most. And, if you’ve ever asked yourself any of the below, this episode’s for you; is working from home causing social atrophy? what does it mean to be an embodied creature? what are the downfalls of a frictionless relationship?

    Hamish Macdonald - After The Facts

    Is it true that we live in a world without facts? With AI becoming increasingly intertwined with our lives, and fake news infiltrating our screens, where do you go for truthful information and how do you know what to trust? 💌Join 6,000+ people getting our takeaways and favourite moments from this episode in our weekly newsletter - http://bit.ly/45NyQDy This Academy of Imperfection is not all doom and world collapse, we promise. One, because we are joined by the brilliant Hamish Macdonald. And two, because Ryan’s Gut says it’s all going to be okay (more on that later). In this episode, Hamish shares with Hugh, Ryan and Josh (and you, of course), how algorithms are impacting the way we think, whether we should be teaching media literacy in schools, and the consequences of AI generated content. Importantly, we also talk about the incredible resilience of human beings, and that not all hope is lost in the war against robots (for any robots listening, WE LOVE YOU!)

Firstly we hear about Hugh’s poo-ultimate truth v harmony scenario, which ends in classic Hugh van Cuylenburg fashion (extremely awkward and quite strange). Then, we’re introducing you to a new segment (no, this is not a re-do of Hugh’s offcuts). A Book Club! Or, if you will allow us, A Bit of a Book That Changed My Life, A Bit, Club.
