Glenn Robbins - Listening to the Voice in Your Head
19 jun 20221h 10m<p>For over 30 years, Glenn Robbins has been one of the funniest and most loved performers in Australia. From The Comedy Company and Kath & Kim, to The Panel and of course Russell Coight, Glenn has guaranteed his spot in the comedy history books.</p> <p> </p> <p>But Glenn hasn’t always seen it that way. From a young age he was told he was "average", and despite his many successes, has dealt with a lifetime of performance anxiety.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this edition of The Vulnerabilitea House, Glenn opens up and tells us how he manages to ignore the 'bad voice' in his head that tells him he's not good enough, and instead listen to the ‘good voice’, so he can face his fears and make good work he's proud of.</p> <p> </p> <p>We highly encourage you to listen to this episode - especially while power-walking through the suburbs with a set of hand weights.</p> <p> </p> <p>To listen to Glenn’s podcast with Dave O’Neil, click this link: <a href="https://apple.co/3O41PZv">https://apple.co/3O41PZv</a></p> <p>To watch Shane Warne on The Panel, click this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/39DB1R0">https://bit.ly/39DB1R0</a></p> <p>Book recommendation Before & Laughter by Jimmy Carr can be found here: <a href="https://amzn.to/3y3Xss7">https://amzn.to/3y3Xss7</a></p> <p>Book recommendation From Strength To Strength by Arthur C Brooks can be found here: <a href="https://amzn.to/3OqJQfS">https://amzn.to/3OqJQfS</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Lael Stone - Creating Emotionally Intelligent Humans
12 jun 20221h 7m<p>In the words of her own child, Lael Stone “works for the kids”.</p> <p>But while Lael is technically a therapist who supports parents in understanding their children, everything Lael talks about in this edition of The Academy of Imperfection could easily be applied to all of us in understanding the people in our lives - no matter what age. Whether that be our friends, parents, colleagues or even ourselves.</p> <p>Through her work, Lael helps adults process their own childhood trauma, and creates education systems that value emotional awareness, demonstrating why it all comes back to connection and compassion.</p> <p>Oh, and listen out for the dramatic moment when Ryan swoops in and inadvertently steals Josh’s “Good Question” (patent pending).</p> <p> </p> <p>To learn more about Lael’s work please visit her website at: <a href="https://laelstone.com.au/">https://laelstone.com.au/</a></p> <p>To watch Lael’s Ted Talk please follow this link: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6fL09e8Tm9c&feature=emb_imp_woyt">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6fL09e8Tm9c&feature=emb_imp_woyt</a></p> <p>To learn more about Lael’s school please follow this link: <a href="https://woodlineprimary.com.au/">https://woodlineprimary.com.au/</a></p> <p>To watch It’s Not About The Nail, please follow this link: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Harry Garside - A Boxer Who Dares To Be Different
5 jun 20221h 31m<p>Harry Garside is an Australian boxer who won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics - the first Olympic medal in boxing for Australia in 33 years. But to simply describe Harry Garside as a champion boxer, would be to sell him waaaaaaay short.</p> <p>Because Harry is also a ballet dancer, a plumber and the guy who asked to wear a dress at the Olympic Opening Ceremony with the desire of defying gender stereotypes (request denied).</p> <p> </p> <p>To listen to the podcast with Deeyah Khan that Harry recommends, please follow the link <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-kunkEfHiLI">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-kunkEfHiLI</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Dr Emily - Truth vs Harmony
29 may 202253 min<p>In this Emisode, Dr Emily returns to talk about a topic that is VERRRRRY close to the bones of Ryan, Hugh and Josh. The ongoing battle of Truth vs Harmony.</p> <p>Does that ring any bells for you? Do you choose to live truthfully? Or harmoniously? And what does that even mean? What’s the difference? And how do living ‘truthfully’ or ‘harmoniously’ affect us and the people around us?</p> <p>Dr Emily goes into all of it.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode, Dr Emily references conversations from Hamish Blake's episode and our last bonus episode.

Max Gawn - The Comment That Changed Everything
22 may 20221h 7m<p>Big episode. HUGE episode in fact. Especially for Ryan.</p> <p>Ryan has been a long-suffering/recent-celebrating supporter of the Melbourne Demons his entire life. And today, Premiership captain of the Dees, Max Gawn is in The Vulnerabilitea House.</p> <p>Ryan. Breathe.</p> <p>Max tells Hugh, Ryan and Josh about a courageous comment made by one of the players in a team meeting that addressed the negative way players were speaking to each other. The comment cut deep - not only for Max who felt shame for his own behaviour, but one that lead to greater connection, trust and respect between the players, and ultimately to their lifelong dream of an AFL Premiership (the greatest, most joyous day for their fans).</p> <p>Once again… breathe, Ryan.</p> <p>For more information on Active-Constructive Communication, start here… [<a href="https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/%5D(https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/)">https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/](https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/)</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Tarang Chawla - Men Talking About Men’s Violence
15 may 20221h 16m<p>We seriously hope you listen to this one. I mean, obviously we hope you listen to all our episodes but THIS ONE... well, we reckon this one’s important.</p> <p>Tarang Chawla’s younger sister Niki was the kindest person he knew. But in 2015, Niki was murdered by her partner who she was trying to break up with, as a result of domestic violence. Since then, Tarang has become an activist against men’s violence, educating all Australians on the many forms of abuse and its role in the mental health crisis.</p> <p>But as Tarang explains, “abuse” is often not what we think.</p> <p>In this Academy of Imperfection, guest lecturer Tarang Chawla talks with Hugh, Ryan and Josh about the many forms of abuse, violence, coercive control, gender inequality, and how we can all play a part in a safer future and why that’s so important for all of us.</p> <p>If you have experienced or are at risk of domestic and family violence and/or sexual assault, you can call the 24 hour national counselling service 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732). In an emergency, or if you are not feeling safe, always call the police on 000</p> <p>To listen to Tarang's podcast, <em>"There's No Place Like Home"</em> please follow the link below: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/theres-no-place-like-home-by-future-women/id1608086343</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Narelda Jacobs - Being True To You
8 may 20221h 21m<p>You might think that TV journalist and proud indigenous woman Narelda Jacobs has a perfect life. She’s the co-host of Studio 10, makes regular appearances on The Project, she’s a three-time host of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, and she’s... done lots of other things that are also on her Wikipedia page.</p> <p>But like all of us, Narelda’s life has been far from perfect. I mean come on guys, we’re all imperfect, surely you’ve learnt that by now!</p> <p>In this episode, Narelda talks openly about the challenges of falling pregnant as an 18-year-old... and then having to tell her parents. This would be hard for anyone, but Narelda grew up in an extremely religious household and her father was a Reverend of the Uniting Church. But that turned out to be a mere warm up for what was to come three years later, when she came out to her parents as gay.</p> <p>We loved this chat with Narelda. And well, we love Narelda. We’re sure you will too.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Oliver Twist - Where is Home?
24 abr 20221h<p>Originally from Rwanda, stand-up comedian Oliver Twist spent 14 years in a Malawi refugee camp before finally arriving in Ipswich, Queensland with his family.</p> <p>In this Vulnerabilitea House, Oliver answers the question, “Where is home for you?” - a simple question for some, but a complicated one for Oliver.</p> <p>Oliver shares stories from his extraordinarily imperfect life in great detail. Everything from being displaced by the Rwandan Genocide, to living in the refugee camp, and eventually seeing Trevor Noah perform stand-up comedy on the internet. And, thanks to ANOTHER “good question” from Josh, Oliver reflects on what his Australian citizenship actually means to him.</p> <p>Oliver Twist’s incredible live shows, Jali and Griot, are still touring in select cities.

17 abr 20221h 12m<p>Okay, so get this...not only is Kemi Nekvapil an author, speaker and coach, but she was trained by Brené Brown. Yuh. THE Brené Brown.</p> <p>As an author, Kemi has written a new book that you must read. It’s called ‘POWER: A woman’s guide to living and leading without apology’. And in our imperfect opinion, as 3 NON-women, it’s exactly what we all need right now.</p> <p>In this edition of The Academy of Imperfection, Kemi shares her childhood experience living in foster care - being moved between 5 different families across England - and how it’s shaped her as the powerful woman she is today. Kemi then takes us through her interpretation of POWER - which happens to be a very convenient acronym...</p> <p>- Presence to understand what is and isn’t working in our lives.</p> <p>- Ownership of our personal narratives, especially our power stories.</p> <p>- Wisdom about our needs, boundaries and growth.</p> <p>- Equality as part of the diverse human family, all of us worthy.</p> <p>- Responsibility for our choices, healing and happiness.</p> <p>https://www.keminekvapil.com</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Hamish Blake - Let's Talk About Self-Doubt
27 mar 202252 min<p>Hamish Blake is a very funny man. No surprises there. But as it turns out, Hamish Blake is also a man who experiences self-doubt. Hmm, SOME surprises there!</p> <p>And as the latest guest in The Vulnerabilitea House, Hamish tells Hugh, Ryan and Josh about the self-doubt he’s experienced while performing on TV, even after doing it for almost 20 years. Whether it be during one of his many appearances on panel shows, or even while standing in front of the contestants on his first day as host of Lego Masters.</p> <p>Later in the ep, Hamish, Ryan and Hugh openly discuss their evolving “love triangle” that has been triggering feelings of self-doubt within Ryan.

Johann Hari - Why You Can't Pay Attention
20 mar 20221h 12m<p>We can all feel it. And unfortunately, it’s getting worse. Paying attention and properly focussing these days is getting harder and harder. And in the first Academy of Imperfection for 2022, Johann Hari is here to explain to Hugh, Ryan and Josh exactly why that is. The good news is... it’s not our fault. But luckily there are things we can do about it. If you want to delve deeper into the topics and themes from this episode, please read (or listen to - like Hugh and Ryan did) Johann’s incredible new book, Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention. It might just be the thing that gets you off your phone for a bit. However, while Johann may be this week’s guest lecturer, Josh is certainly this week’s star pupil, delivering what may be one of the most powerful and moving acts of vulnerability we’ve ever seen on this podcast. Josh didn’t plan to say what he said, but in finding the courage to speak his truth, his hope is that others with similar struggles will feel more supported, or at least feel less alone.</p> <p>Thank you Johann for returning to The Imperfects, and thank you Josh for being imperfect.</p> <p>For more information about Johann Hari and where to his book visit: https://stolenfocusbook.com/</p> <p>@theimperfectspodcast</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Now she’s written her first book, “Ciao, Bella” - filled with stories from her amazing and colourful life. But even with all her success, like all of us, Kate’s life hasn’t been perfect.</p> <p>In this raw episode, Kate generously shares what it was like when her eldest son Lewis was diagnosed with Leukaemia, and how it impacted her life and her family - then and now. Afterwards, Hugh talks with Ryan and Josh and gives us some insight on the emotion of LOVE, and how positive emotions like love can drastically improve our mental health.</p> <p>@theimperfectspodcast</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

The Vulnerabilitea House - Martin Heppell
28 sept 202146 min<p>There is no one else in the world quite like our guest this week. </p> <p>For years people kept telling Hugh he needed to bring on a new presenter to meet the demand from schools and workplaces around the country.

In today’s episode, Ryan, Hugh and Josh are both moved and inspired as Martin steps into the Vulnerabilitea and shares a heart breaking story from his childhood. As only Martin can do, he starts the interview by sharing the trauma of his past, but ends the interview leaving the boys inspired to be better people. Warning. This episode contains references to child abuse.</p> <ol></ol> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
The Academy Of Imperfection - Daniel Ellenberg
14 sept 20211h 5m<p>Ready to learn? Us too.</p> <p>In The Academy of Imperfection this week, imperfect students Hugh, Ryan and Josh speak with American psychologist, leadership coach and specialist in the area of male relationships, Daniel Ellenberg. Daniel shares some very insightful stuff on how men relate to other men - why they do what they do, and why they DON’T do what they don’t do! But by the end of the episode, what was supposed to be a casual “lecture” turns into a men’s workshop of sorts, as Hugh, Ryan and Josh show a lot more vulnerability towards each other than they were expecting. The recording of this episode was definitely a memorable experience.</p> <p>Daniel Ellenberg, PhD is a co-founder of Relationships That Work <a href="https://www.relationshipsthatwork.com/">https://www.relationshipsthatwork.com</a>, the founder/director of Strength with Heart men’s groups and workshops <a href="https://www.strengthwithheart.com/">https://www.strengthwithheart.com</a>, and a principal in Rewire Leadership Institute <a href="https://rewireleadership.com/">https://rewireleadership.com</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
The Vulnerabilitea House - Josh Van Cuylenburg
30 ago 202144 min<p>Two episodes in a week, what is going on? Well, it's another Vulnerabilitea House that's what. This week it's Josh's turn.</p> <p>Lockdown rules meant this teahouse was spread across three tea houses but it doesn't detract from the quality of the tea, and the vulnerableness. Josh discusses an issue he's had for a long, long time and Hugh takes some time to delve a little deeper into the concept of vulnerability. What is it? Why is it important? How do we best practise it?</p> <p>Being vulnerable can be scary, but it creates stronger and more authentic connections with others. Just make sure to be mindful about who you’re vulnerable with. It’s always important to trust and feel safe with those you open up to.</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Just The Three Of Us (a bonus snap podcast because we needed a chat)
24 ago 202143 min<p>In the beginning, it was novel. A change of pace. A good excuse to bake our own bread and believe that “we’ll always bake our own bread from now on because it’s so nice to wake up to the smell of fresh bread in the morning!”</p> <p>But come on... seriously... we’re not baking bread anymore are we? This whole COVID thing has become a proper bummer. Like, next-level maximum bummer.</p> <p>So, because we’ve all been feeling the pinch recently, Hugh assembled Ryan and Josh for a very unplanned Snap Podcast to talk about it, and share what’s been helping him cope with the current and ongoing shitness of lockdown.</p> <p>This isn’t a regular episode. There’s no guests, no experts and no tea. It’s just Hugh, Ryan and Josh trying to find some light during an extremely challenging time.</p> <p>Hope you’re doing okay out there. We know it’s tough. But hopefully this helps a little.</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
