    Keyboard warriors, Karen's and Karma - Using compassion as protection

    Being right is the self-esteem of the desperate. That's the line Tam Callaghan landed on after thinking about one of the most requested topics she's received: why do people become keyboard warriors, and what do you do about it?  Inspired by a conversation with a popular online creator who regularly receives hate comments on completely non-provocative content, Tam digs into what's actually driving this behaviour. She breaks it down into three groups: people who have an opinion and share it thoughtlessly because the screen removes the sense of talking to a real human being; Karens and Keiths driven by entitlement and a deep need to feel seen; and a smaller group with genuine psychological disorders including narcissism, sadism, and psychopathy.  She also turns the lens on herself, because the need to be right when we're feeling insecure isn't unique to trolls. It's just the same impulse in a different context.  Practical, compassionate, and more nuanced than the topic usually gets.  In this episode:  Why "being right is the self-esteem of the desperate" applies to all of us  Chris Lapping's experience of online hate and what it prompted  Why online distance makes people forget they're talking to a human being  Group 1: opinions, thoughtlessness, and what to do  Group 2: Karens and Keiths, entitlement, and the need to feel seen  Group 3: narcissism, sadism, psychopathy, and how to spot them  Practical coping strategies: love, boundaries, and when to block  Societal isolation and why online cruelty is getting worse  Why nuance and compassion are still the right response  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    Kate Fandry - Breaking the Lid: Grief, Neurodiversity, and Finding Self-Love

    Part two of Tam Callaghan's conversation with Kate Fandry picks up where they left off, diving into the diagnosis itself, what it felt like to finally have an answer, and the grief that often comes with a late diagnosis even when it's a relief.  Kate shares the moment she told her mum over lunch ("of course you do"), the school story that reframed a lifetime of self-blame, and what it actually took to go from suspecting she had ADHD to getting formally assessed. They then move into OCD: what it looks like in daily life, the blueberry example that perfectly illustrates decision paralysis, and the medication that changed everything.  There's also an honest conversation about the stigma around psychiatric medication, why choosing medication is an act of self-kindness rather than weakness, and what quality of life actually looks like when treatment works.  Part 1: Late-Diagnosis ADHD: From Burnout to Breakthrough - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-5g6w5-1b424ec In this episode:  The ADHD quote that sums up the late diagnosis experience perfectly  "If you do well at school, they just let you raw dog ADHD for the rest of your life"  The school window story and what it actually meant  The grief of late diagnosis and why it's valid  Hiding struggles and finally telling parents  OCD alongside ADHD: how it presents and what it costs  The blueberry example: OCD and decision paralysis in everyday life  OCD medication and the life-changing relief it brought  ADHD medication: focus, sleep, and what shifted  The stigma around medication and why it needs to change  Choosing medication as self-kindness  Why relationships matter more than Western success markers  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    Kate Fandry - Late-Diagnosis ADHD: From Burnout to Breakthrough

    Tam Callaghan sits down with her friend and former colleague Kate Fandry for a wide-ranging, deeply honest conversation about late ADHD diagnosis, what it actually feels like to finally have an explanation for a lifetime of experiences, and how Kate is channelling everything she's learned into a brand new career as a celebrant.  Kate was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, and as a Highly Sensitive Person after an epic burnout that had been building for years. In this first part they cover what the signs looked like in childhood, how hyperactivity presents differently in girls, what Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria actually feels like day to day, how to manage sensitivity without shutting yourself down, and why so many neurodiverse people are drawn to each other.  They also get into managing news consumption, parenting a sensitive child, environmental sensitivities, and the pivotal moments that led Kate to retrain as a celebrant.  Warm, funny, and genuinely eye-opening whether you have a diagnosis or simply recognise yourself in parts of what Kate describes.  Part 2: Breaking the Lid: Grief, Neurodiversity, and Finding Self-Love - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-67tnf-1b5447d In this episode:  Late diagnosis vs late onset: why the distinction matters  The burnout that finally led to Kate's diagnosis  Childhood signs: incessant talking, hyperactivity, and coping strategies in girls  The artist sitting story and what it reveals  Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria: what it is and what it feels like in real life  Managing sensitivity through boundaries and self-love  Environmental sensitivities: lighting, noise, smell  The 'porous' feeling and how to manage news consumption  ADHD, OCD and the Highly Sensitive Person diagnosis combined  Becoming a celebrant: why it fits and how she got there  Fuzzy visioning: how ADHD brains plan for the future  ADHD strengths: empathy, hyperfocus and connection  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    How Gratitude Transforms Your Life: A Simple Practice to Shift Everything

    Part two gets practical. In this episode Tam Callaghan walks through the gratitude practices she actually uses, including a twist on the classic three-things exercise that most people miss, and why acknowledging your own role in creating the good in your life is just as important as noticing it.  She shares two personal examples, choosing Luna the dog after a year of persistence, and saying yes to her dream treehouse, as illustrations of what it looks like to own your wins rather than just feel lucky. She also gets into hedonic adaptation and why we stop enjoying what we've worked hard for, the Metta loving-kindness practice, and a striking story about a business success that was missed entirely because the moment wasn't absorbed.  One practical exercise to do tonight, and a genuine argument for why you're probably already living the life you once prayed for.  Part 1: Gratitude: The Backwards Path to More Joy - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-j483f-1b1ade5 In this episode:  The three gratitudes practice and how to actually make it stick  The question to ask after each gratitude: what was it about me that helped create this?  The Luna story: a year of effort, one brave choice, and a dog worth it  The treehouse: luck plus courage plus saying yes  Self-kindness and reset practices when the day starts badly  Appreciating yourself and giving compliments without the tall poppy guilt  Metta loving-kindness practice and how to use it  Online cruelty, ego, and what it says about the people doing it  Hedonic adaptation: why we stop enjoying what we've achieved  The business success story and the moment that was completely missed  Tonight's exercise: your gratitude list and what you created  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    Kate De Jong - The Wisdumb Way: Become a Unicorn of Self-Awareness

    Tam sits down with her friend and colleague Kate de Jong to talk about Kate's upcoming book, The Wisdumb Way: A Simple Path to Emotional Intelligence Through the Power of Paradox, co-written with EQ expert James Brydon and relationship counsellor Mauro Davide.  The conversation starts with a statistic that is hard to shake: 95% of people think they're self-aware, but research suggests only 10 to 15% actually are. Kate calls the rare few who genuinely develop this skill unicorns, borrowing the term from Dr Tasha Eurich, and The Wisdumb Way is her attempt to help more people get there.  They cover what self-awareness actually means (internal and external), the difference between genuine emotional intelligence and spiritual bypassing, the Dunning-Kruger effect and Mount Stupid, and the three core qualities at the heart of the book: curiosity, vulnerability, and comfort with uncertainty. Kate also walks through the Harrison Assessment's 12 paradox scales and why being extreme in any direction creates its own problems.  Warm, wide-ranging, and genuinely useful for anyone who wants to lead better, parent better, or simply understand themselves more clearly.  In this episode:  The self-awareness statistic that will make you think twice  Internal vs external self-awareness and why both matter  What a 360 or LSI feedback process actually reveals  Why emotional intelligence matters in leadership, parenting and relationships  The danger of spiritual bypassing when doing inner work  Mount Stupid, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and where most of us get stuck  Wisdumb as paradox: being wise and dumb at the same time  The Harrison Assessment and the 12 paradox scales  The three core qualities: curiosity, vulnerability, comfort with uncertainty  Applying the Wisdumb Way in real conversations  What it costs organisations and individuals to lack self-awareness  Book format, exercises, and launch plans  The Wisdumb Way by Kate de Jong, James Brydon and Mauro Davide: [link when available]  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    Gratitude: The Backwards Path to More Joy

    Tam Callaghan knows you've heard the word gratitude too many times. She felt the same way. This episode is her making the case that it's worth pushing through that resistance, and explaining why it actually works, not in a spiritual bypassing way, but in a genuinely practical, neurological, life-changing way.  Drawing on Shawn Achor's research, Rick Hanson's work on absorbing positive experiences, her own VIA character strengths results, and a striking personal story about manifestation, Tam walks through three reasons gratitude matters, why most of us have the order backwards, and what it looks like to build gratitude as a daily practice rather than a mood or a mindset.  This is part one of two. Part two goes into the practices in more depth.  Part 2: How Gratitude Transforms Your Life - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-5r8in-1b1adf9 In this episode:  Why gratitude has become a buzzword and why it's still worth your attention  Shawn Achor's TED Talk and what it showed Tam about her own brain  VIA character strengths: what they are and how to find yours  Three reasons gratitude matters, including why it helps you get the life you want  Why life works backwards: gratitude first, results second  A personal manifestation story that surprised even Tam  Important caveats: this isn't The Secret and it doesn't mean denying hardship  The abundance thermostat and why some people can't let good things in  Gratitude as a muscle and a moral choice  Rick Hanson's advice on absorbing positive experiences so they actually stick  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    Tanya Hallett - Money in the Bank: Building Trust to Stop Workplace Bullies

    In part two of their conversation on workplace bullying, Tam Callaghan and Tanya Hallett from TIPT get into the harder question: once you know there's a problem, what do you actually do?  They pick up where part one left off, starting with the 'money in the bank' concept and why goodwill built before a crisis is the thing that makes everything else possible. From there they move into what happens when a harmful employee has been left unmanaged for years, how fawning and placating responses develop in teams that have never seen anyone held accountable, and what a genuine team reset looks like when a new manager comes in.  Tanya walks through a detailed case study, a respectful behaviours charter in practice, how to document incidents properly, and how to use company values and policy as the foundation for enforcing standards. There's also a rich conversation about generational change, what younger workers expect from their managers, and why seeing potential in people is one of the most powerful performance tools available.  Practical, experienced, and exactly what organisations need more of.  Part 1: What is Workplace Bullying - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-xccpv-1b0fd3c Part 3: Narcissistic Bullies - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-arzzg-1af7f01  In this episode:  The 'money in the bank' concept and where it comes from  What happens when staff are treated like children  The long-term cost of leaving a harmful employee unmanaged  Psychological safety, boundaries, and what accountability actually looks like  Fawning as a trauma response in workplace settings  Case study: Bill and new manager Bob  How to run a team intervention using a respectful behaviours charter  Documenting incidents: warnings, evidence, and what matters legally  Using company values and policy to enforce standards  Resetting norms when a new manager arrives  Lego Serious Play and third-space conversation tools  Generational change and what younger workers need from leadership  Why expecting the best from people transforms performance  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

    Tanya Hallett - What is Workplace Bullying – really - when Managers Become Bullies

    Workplace bullying pt 2: https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-krwy4-1b1acb6 Narcissistic Bullies: https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-arzzg-1af7f01 Tanya Hallett from TIPT returns to talk about workplace bullying, one of the most common and costly issues she deals with, and one of the most misunderstood. In this first of two conversations, Tam and Tanya cover what bullying actually looks like in practice, what it isn't, and what organisations are getting badly wrong. They get into the pattern Tanya sees most: a long-serving employee, a new manager with no contextual understanding, a clash that escalates fast, and a workplace that fails to step in. They also cover the legal obligations organisations have around reasonable adjustments and psychosocial safety, and why ignorance is genuinely no excuse. There's a detailed case study on an employee with vertigo, a clear breakdown of the difference between bullying and performance management, and practical discussion of what quick and effective resolution can actually look like, including why trust built before a crisis is the thing that makes everything else easier. In this episode: The most common stories Tanya hears from clients about workplace bullying Why new managers are so often the trigger Legal obligations: what the Fair Work Act actually requires Bullying vs performance management: how to tell the difference Case study: the employee with vertigo and what should have happened Workplace support plans and mental health care plans in practice Trust, emotional intelligence and trauma-informed leadership What a good quick resolution actually involves HR and WHS: who owns what when it comes to psychosocial risk The money-in-the-bank analogy for building goodwill before you need it A preview of what's coming in part two: the 'naughty' staff member Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast Join the conversation!
