    Resetting your Nervous System with Jessica Maguire

    Pain: you certainly know it when you feel it, but how much do you really know about it? For example, it turns out, it's not always all about the actual damage your bodily tissue receives. Some of the processes our body has it when it comes to pain are not only unexpected but mind-blowing, as this conversation with Jess Maguire reveals.  Jess is a physiotherapist and author of The Nervous System Reset. Here, she breaks down complex concepts related to the vagus nerve and neuroplasticity, and shares practical tools we can all use to better regulate our nervous systems and handle pain in all its forms.If you’re dealing with chronic pain, trying to manage stress, or just want to know more about your own body and mind, this episode is for you.

    How Darren Hayes went from Unlovable to Beloved

    This is not a conversation about Savage Garden. This is a conversation which is one of the most raw and honest conversations Osher has had on this podcast. Darren and Osher speak about his journey through trauma and therapy in a way that's both heartbreaking and hopeful, what it really means to be "successful" while carrying invisible wounds, and how sometimes the very things that help us cope – like performing – can become our careers. Enjoy this conversation with the magnificent Darren Hayes. Darren Hayes’ new book “Unlovable” is out now.  Subscribe to the substack   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Suraya is an Uber Eats delivery person who started driving as a way to supplement household income whilst recovering from acute mental illness.

    Financial Freedom isn’t what you think it is with Victoria Devine

    It’s not until you’ve spent time in a country where English is an afterthought, where every sign, label, announcement and conversation is a mystery that you get an idea of how much we take literacy for granted. Without a way to understand the language of the country we’re in it’s almost impossible to get the things we need, things like food, healthcare, employment. You can feel quite powerless, you’re even vulnerable to be taken advantage of. There is one language that’s spoken the world over - and sorry, it’s not love. It’s money. Thankfully - we live in a world at the same time as Victoria Devine. Host of the podcast “She’s on the Money”, her new book “The Business Bible” a guide to business ownership for people craving flexibility and independence. **LIVE SHOWS** STORY CLUB XMAS SPECTACULAR - Comedy Store Sydney Dec 8, 7pm Ft Tanya Hennessey, Harry Garside, Rosie Waterland, Dj Hookie (Tom Nash), Emma Wortley and Zoë Norton-Lodge.

  6. The secret to helping kids WANT to read (w/Andy Griffiths)

    NOV 26

    The secret to helping kids WANT to read (w/Andy Griffiths)

    Andy Griffiths is one of Australia’s most successful children’s book authors, who drew on his experience as a school teacher to redefine what it was that made kids want to read. Anyone who reads books to their kids knows that some are just excellent, and some are pretty ordinary. This conversation peels back the curtain on what makes kids actually want to read – not what we think they should read, but what gets them genuinely excited to turn the page. And in writing about poos, bums, and wees - all in the service of getting more kids to read - Andy has sold Millions and millions of books. As far as Andy is concerned - sometimes the best stories have absolutely no moral lesson whatsoever. There’s also a  brilliant take on how limiting yourself creatively – like writing a story in just 50 words – can actually make your work better. He brings insights into creative writing, childhood development, and the publishing industry which is really fascinating. It’s a conversation about imagination, creativity, and why sometimes the best thing we can do for our kids is let them eat a little dirt.
