Dr Emily - What Are Your Boundaries?
16 jun 20241h 13m<p>Do you have boundaries? Have you ever crossed someone else’s boundaries? How would you react if someone crossed yours? It is WAY easier to ignore it. Avoiding potential conflict and awkwardness is second nature to most of us. For those of us with people-pleasing tendencies, telling someone they have violated a boundary can be an acute version of living hell.</p> <p>Luckily for us, our resident psychologist Dr. Emily is here to help us navigate what a healthy boundary looks, feels and sounds like. And why understanding, implementing and protecting heathy boundaries is good for all of us...even if it does feel a little awkward.</p> <p>Links mentioned in the episode and extra resources:</p> <p>🎧 Previous episode of <em>The Imperfects</em></p> <ul> <li>Grant Denyer - <a href="https://apple.co/4fyvmsj">https://apple.co/4fyvmsj</a> </li> <li>Dr. Emily - Truth v Harmony - <a href="https://apple.co/40pgYO7">https://apple.co/40pgYO7</a> </li> <li>Dr. Emily - Social Anxiety, They’ve Got It Too - <a href="https://apple.co/3COk1pd">https://apple.co/3COk1pd</a> </li> <li>Chrissie Swan - Honesty - <a href="https://bit.ly/3qL7WeO">https://bit.ly/3qL7WeO</a> </li> <li>Lael Stone - Take Care of Yourself - <a href="https://apple.co/4eAJNuw">https://apple.co/4eAJNuw</a> </li> </ul> <p>📱 Things to follow</p> <ul> <li>Nedra Glover Tawwab’s instagram - <a href="http://bit.ly/4bWnvCK">bit.ly/4bWnvCK</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Nedra Glover Tawwab’s ‘Set Boundaries, Find Peace’ -<a href="http://bit.ly/3xpFKBw">bit.ly/3xpFKBw</a>.</li> <li>Cheryl Strayed’s ‘Wild’ - <a href="http://bit.ly/4emwAXa">bit.ly/4emwAXa</a></li> </ul> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Curb Your Enthusiasm - <a href="https://bit.ly/3VCsXVH">https://bit.ly/3VCsXVH</a></li> <li>Poor Things - <a href="https://bit.ly/3VmQ3OJ">https://bit.ly/3VmQ3OJ</a></li> </ul> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.

Billy Slater - Leading from the (Full)Back
2 jun 20241h 9m<p>Unfortunately, we all know what bad leadership looks like, for many of us, it doesn’t take long to think of examples…but what does it actually take to be a ‘good leader’?</p> <p>This week in the Academy of Imperfection, Hugh, Ryan and Josh are joined by a legend of the sport, former rugby league player and current coach of the Queensland Maroons, Billy Slater. Billy has been called the best fullback ever to have played the game. As a player, he’s won more awards than we could possibly list. As a coach and a leader, he is nothing short of inspiring.</p> <p>In this episode, Billy talks about leadership, coaching and how he approaches it. He shares how playing to your strengths can actually be more beneficial than lingering on weaknesses; he discusses how sometimes, good leadership requires ‘letting go’; and he shares why he spends so much time creating feelings and moments for his players, reminding them that what they’re trying to achieve is something bigger than themselves.</p> <p>You can watch the full episode with Billy on youtube here. https://bit.ly/4c45lih</p> <p>Links mentioned in the episode and extra resources:</p> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Link to Billy’s auto biography - <a href="https://bit.ly/3R62RIb">https://bit.ly/3R62RIb</a></li> <li>Link to Phill Jackson 11 Rings book - <a href="https://bit.ly/3yGgQ0N">https://bit.ly/3yGgQ0N</a></li> </ul> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.

Nathan Cavaleri - The Ups & The Blues
26 mei 20241h 35m<p>Its hard to imagine a life more remarkable, or as unique as that of Nathan Cavaleri.</p> <p>Nathan rose to fame as an 8 year old blues prodigy, regularly appearing on Aussie TV screens in the 90’s, but there is so much more to Nathan and his story than that. Whether it’s touring Australia with the likes of Jimmy Barnes; or touring America with blues Legend B.B. King; being signed to Michael Jackson’s label; or starring in a Baywatch spin off with David Hasselhoff; Nathan’s life from the outside, really does look perfect. However, as we all know, perfect isn't what this podcast is about.</p> <p>In this episode, Nathan talks about the challenges he has faced along the way. From his battle with Leukaemia as a child; to his overwhelming struggles with anxiety as an adult that resulted in him passing out on stage. Nathan is a wonderful person, a beautiful storyteller and he’s a real joy to listen to in this episode of the imperfects.</p> <p><br>To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: <a href="https://youtu.be/9XlJBw6fdq8">https://youtu.be/9XlJBw6fdq8</a> <br><br>To see Nathan perform live & check out his tour dates follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3Kgqz0x">https://bit.ly/3Kgqz0x</a></p> <p>To book Nathan for speaking events, or exclusive performances, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/44Z6IN0">https://bit.ly/44Z6IN0</a></p> <p>To follow Nathan on Twitch, where he live streams his creative process and regularly connects with fans, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3yqDutY">https://bit.ly/3yqDutY</a></p> <p>Links mentioned in the episode and extra resources:</p> <p> </p> <p>🎧 Previous episodes of The Imperfects</p> <ul> <li>Dr Em - Who Is Your Inner Critic & Why Is It there? - <a href="https://apple.co/3XaFdw9">https://apple.co/3XaFdw9</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Nathan’s Australian Story - <a href="https://bit.ly/3wMGTCW">https://bit.ly/3wMGTCW</a></li> <li>Hugh’s Australian Story - <a href="https://bit.ly/3USSxEn">https://bit.ly/3USSxEn</a></li> <li>Camp Nowhere - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bM7MWA">https://bit.ly/4bM7MWA</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>🎧 Things to listen to</p> <ul> <li>Nathans latest albums (Demons, and Miracles) - <a href="https://bit.ly/3WTbYj5">https://bit.ly/3WTbYj5</a> <a href="https://snd.click/miracles">https://snd.click/miracles</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>🚨 To support</p> <ul> <li>The Starlight Foundation - <a href="https://bit.ly/3WR1f8I">https://bit.ly/3WR1f8I</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>🛒 Things to buy</p> <ul> <li>Tickets to Nathan’s live tour - <a href="http://www.nathancavaleri.com/tour">www.nathancavaleri.com/tour</a></li> <li>Vulnerabilitea house cards - <a href="https://bit.ly/3PBFlkR">https://bit.ly/3PBFlkR</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><em>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.

IMPERFIX: Believing Women with Tarang Chawla
24 mei 202418 min<p>After his sister, Niki, was murdered by her ex-partner, Tarang Chawla made a decision - that he wouldn’t allow Niki to be remembered as just another statistic. Since then, Tarang has become an activist, working to reduce incidents of all forms of violence and abuse towards women in Australian.</p> <p>In this episode of the IMPERFIX, we reflect on a conversation we had with Tarang back in 2022. Here, Tarang discusses the importance of believing and supporting women when they disclose abuse, and understanding the role of power, control, and gender inequality in such scenarios. Tarang also emphasises the need to separate individuals from their potentially abusive behaviour, underscoring the collective responsibility of men in combating violence against women.</p> <p>Here are some important links from this episode.</p> <p>🎧 Previous episodes of The Imperfects</p> <ul> <li>Tarang Chawla - Men Talking About Mens Violence <a href="https://apple.co/3APcuGi">https://apple.co/3APcuGi</a> </li> <li>An imperfect chat about men - <a href="https://apple.co/4e2vQpP">https://apple.co/4e2vQpP</a> </li> </ul> <p>📱 Things to follow</p> <ul> <li>Tarang Chawla’s Instagram - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bQa8Up">https://bit.ly/4bQa8Up</a></li> </ul> <p>🎧 Things to listen to</p> <ul> <li>There’s no place like home, with Tarang Chawla <a href="https://bit.ly/3yst5Oq">https://bit.ly/3yst5Oq</a></li> </ul> <p>🚨 For support</p> <ul> <li>Our watch <a href="https://bit.ly/3w0BQhV">https://bit.ly/3w0BQhV</a></li> <li>White Ribbon <a href="https://bit.ly/3W6nMhs">https://bit.ly/3W6nMhs</a></li> <li>No To Violence <a href="https://bit.ly/3UlyiA5">https://bit.ly/3UlyiA5</a></li> </ul> <p><em data-stringify-type="italic">If you feel like you are in immediate danger please call 000.

Dr Emily - The Risk of Avoiding Risk
19 mei 202458 min<p>Taking a risk, by definition, is hard. A lot of us spend most of our life avoiding risks, under the assumption that it’s the ‘safe’ thing to do.</p> <p>As Dr Em explains, we have an evolutionary instinct for self-preservation; tendencies to overestimate danger and underestimate our ability to cope; and we often have early childhood experiences and messages around safety that can coalesce into ‘playing it safe’ behaviours.</p> <p>In this episode, Dr Em reveals that paradoxically, if we spend our whole life avoiding risk, then we are guaranteeing a less engaged, less fulfilling, less ‘lived’ life than we are capable of. That in fact, avoiding risk, is the biggest risk of all.</p> <p>Dr Em, also offers strategies to guide us in the direction of letting a little more risk into our everyday lives.</p> <p>To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/4dMUP0l">https://bit.ly/4dMUP0l</a></p> <p>There is a lot mentioned in this episode, find it all below:</p> <p> </p> <p>🎧 Previous episodes of The Imperfects</p> <ul> <li>Tim Minchin - Lucky To Be Here - <a href="https://apple.co/492kgsN">https://apple.co/492kgsN</a> </li> <li>Adam Grant - The Potential of Your Potential - <a href="https://apple.co/3Z1E4Ix">https://apple.co/3Z1E4Ix</a> </li> <li>Gina Chick - Don’t Fight Life - <a href="https://apple.co/3UKpxQ8">https://apple.co/3UKpxQ8</a> </li> <li>Pat Cummins - Love, Loss & Life - <a href="https://apple.co/4eHc4zJ">https://apple.co/4eHc4zJ</a> </li> <li>Martin “Rac” Heppell - The other F word…FAILURE - <a href="https://bit.ly/4fUkDIk">https://bit.ly/4fUkDIk</a> </li> </ul> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Tim Minchin - Play it Safe <a href="https://bit.ly/44PnJc4">https://bit.ly/44PnJc4</a></li> <li>Moana - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bJZyy2">https://bit.ly/4bJZyy2</a></li> </ul> <p>🎧 Things to listen to</p> <ul> <li>How i work - Amantha Imber - <a href="https://bit.ly/3WNGxXw">https://bit.ly/3WNGxXw</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - <a href="https://bit.ly/3wE7nqm">https://bit.ly/3wE7nqm</a></li> </ul> <p>🛒 Things to buy</p> <ul> <li>The Resilience Project & Dr Em’s - 6 Month Wellbeing Journal <a href="https://bit.ly/3K8Z9cK">https://bit.ly/3K8Z9cK</a></li> </ul> <p><em data-stringify-type="italic">The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.

IMPERFIX: Dr. Kiran Martin - Leadership
17 mei 202411 min<p>We mean no disrespect to any of our other guests, but when Hugh says that Dr. Kiran Martin, is the most impressive person he has ever met, it’s hard not to agree.</p> <p>Dr. Kiran Martin is the founder of ASHA in India. It’s a not for profit, that for over 35 years, has provided healthcare and education to millions of people living in slums in India.</p> <p>In this clip, Dr Kiran tells us of the time she decided to wash the feet of a Dalit woman (an ‘untouchable’ in the caste system of India) in order to demonstrate humility. And it was this moment of true leadership that lead to a feet washing movement throughout ASHA, breaking down caste barriers in the process.</p> <p>You can learn more, or support Dr. Kiran Martin and ASHA’s work here. <a href="https://bit.ly/44Fl1WP">https://bit.ly/44Fl1WP</a>.</p> <p>To listen to the full episode with Dr. Kiran Martin, click here <a href="https://apple.co/4hUYThh">https://apple.co/4hUYThh</a> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Reece Conca - Tackling Male Infertility
12 mei 20241h 12m<p>All too often when talking about infertility, we only tell one side of the story. Traditionally in the public discourse, it has very much fallen into the category of a ‘women’s issue’. However, as our guest this week Reece Conca can all too painfully attest, 40% of infertility issues are actually male factor related.</p> <p>Reece Conca is a former Australian Rules Footballer, who played over 150 games for Richmond and Freemantle.</p> <p>When Reece and his partner Bell were finding it difficult to conceive, it took them far too long to discover that Reece has a condition called Azoospermia, which effects 1% of men - a condition where in Reece had no sperm in his semen.</p> <p>In this Vulnerabiltea House, Reece speaks openly and honestly about the physical and emotional toll of a fertility journey he is very much still on, the hormone injections, the surgeries and much, much more. </p> <p>To follow Annabelle and Reece on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@annabelleandreece?_t=8mHqcVotkx7&amp;_r=1">https://www.tiktok.com/@annabelleandreece</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

However this IMPERFIX starts with Josh, delivering what may be one of the most powerful and moving acts of vulnerability we’ve ever seen on this podcast, when he felt compelled to share a realisation, that he had been addicted to the internet for much of his life. Johann’s response was as always, heartfelt, engaging, hopeful and empowering. And we thought it was worth revisiting.</p> <p>You can hear the episode in full here. <a href="https://bit.ly/4flaoMG">https://bit.ly/4flaoMG</a> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Dr Emily - Joy Decision
21 apr 20241h 2m<p>Have you ever felt so elated, that in that very moment, you felt yourself and the world around you were in perfect harmony? That feeling is joy! </p> <p>But for many of us, ‘joy’ can seem elusive, almost impossible to experience, or an emotion that we feel we just don’t have time for. And for some of us, it may feel like we have lost the ability to experience joy altogether. </p> <p>In this episode, our resident psychologist Dr Em explores the experience of Joy. What is it and how we can tap into it. We learn how mobilising joy is and how infectious and connecting it can be. </p> <p>Because as Dr Em explains, we are often surrounded by joy in our everyday lives, but don’t pause long enough to see it. </p> <p>This is an incredibly powerful, uplifting conversation, but it may be difficult to listen to if you're currently experiencing hardship or trauma. If you'd like to skip this one, we encourage you to come back when you're ready.</p> <p>To watch this episode on youtube follow this link: <a href="https://youtu.be/JPJ5UXm-5LI">https://youtu.be/JPJ5UXm-5LI</a></p> <p>To listen to Gina Chick’s episode of The Imperfects, follow this link: <a href="https://apple.co/3UKpxQ8">https://apple.co/3UKpxQ8</a> </p> <p>To hear Sean Turnell’s episode of The Imperfects, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3UaXmJ3">https://bit.ly/3UaXmJ3</a></p> <p>To stream Inside Out on Disney+ follow this link <a href="https://bit.ly/49C7gc7">https://bit.ly/49C7gc7</a></p> <p>To read the Betoota Advocate follow this link <a href="https://bit.ly/3JkO3kC">https://bit.ly/3JkO3kC</a>, or you can read The Onion here <a href="https://bit.ly/3U1SUfg">https://bit.ly/3U1SUfg</a>.</p> <p><em data-stringify-type="italic">The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.

An Imperfect Chat About Men
18 apr 202432 min<p>In this bonus episode of The Imperfects, Hugh, Ryan and Josh have an imperfect conversation about mens violence against women.</p> <p>To say it's a massive problem in Australia is an understatement.

It effects ALL women, with the most vulnerable and marginalised in our community, at the greatest risk. We don’t have the answers to solve it. But we don’t want to remain silent.

IMPERFIX: Imposter Syndrome with Hamish Blake
10 apr 202411 min<p>Imposter syndrome and self doubt aren’t necessarily things you think when you think of Australian comedian Hamish Blake. However when Hamish visited us for a VulnerabilTea House in season 4, that’s exactly what came up.</p> <p>In this episode of The IMPERFIX, we revisit a vulnerable moment where Josh shared his very real self doubt about his role on the show.

Elizabeth Day - The Me-est Version Of Me
31 mrt 20241h 39m<p>We’re not sure if podcasts can date. But if they could we would want to date Elizabeth Day’s podcast - ‘How to fail?’. (A proposition Hugh awkwardly put to Elizabeth in the final moments of the show).</p> <p>This conversation covers a lot of ground. Elizabeth vulnerably discusses her journey through infertility, IVF and her eventual decision to stop fertility treatment; we explore the role exercise and strength training can have in reclaiming one's connection to their body; Ryan and Elizabeth bond over a love of reality TV; and there’s much much more. <br><br>It’s fair to say there was a lot of chat and a lot of love in the room for this one.</p> <p>Elizabeth Day is a Journalist, podcaster and author. The podcast ‘How to fail’ is a brilliant (and wildly successful…ironically) pod that shares intimate conversations with guests about their experiences with failure.

IMPERFIX: Ben Crowe's Purpose
6 mrt 202419 min<p>In this inaugural episode of <em>the imperfix</em>, Hugh takes us back to our very first <em>Academy of Imperfection, </em>where special guest Ben Crowe explores what it actually means to define your purpose. We discuss Ryan, Hugh & Ben’s purposes, how they defined them, and how important they are in shaping their respective every-days. We also delve a little deeper into Josh’s seeming ‘lack of purpose’ and find that he might actually have a bit more purpose there than he realises.</p> <p>To hear the full episode, the first time Ben visited The Imperfects click here <a href="https://bit.ly/3MrxtRN">https://bit.ly/3MrxtRN</a> </p> <p>For more from Ben Crowe, please visit his website <a href="http://mojocrowe.com/">mojocrowe.com</a> or find him on Instagram.</p> <p>You can listen to the Ted Talk 'Finding your purpose in 5 minutes' here <a href="https://bit.ly/3T5LkQF">https://bit.ly/3T5LkQF</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
Pat Cummins - Love, Loss & Life
3 mrt 20241h 33m<p>They say that by the time he retires, Pat Cummins could be one of Australia’s most successful cricket captains. And if 2023 is anything to go by, "they" might be right. Pat captained the team winning The ODI World Cup, The ICC World Test Championship and retaining The Ashes. And individually, he was not only named The ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year, but also signed a record-breaking contract to play in India in the IPL this year. So yeah, Pat wins a lot.</p> <p>But this episode isn't just about cricket. Because as Pat talks about with Hugh, Ryan and Josh, he's lost a lot as well - especially in his personal life. Most notably, Pat tragically lost his mother Maria to cancer last year (2023), which he opens up about here, sharing how important life is outside of cricket - an approach that's trickled through to the entire team.</p> <p>If you love cricket (maybe even as much as Hugh & Josh), or just want to hear how someone deals with struggles while at the top of their game, this is a special episode.</p> <p>If you enjoyed this episode, you might like our episodes with: </p> <ul> <li>Travis Boak - <a href="https://apple.co/4eFe8rJ">https://apple.co/4eFe8rJ</a> </li> <li>Max Gawn - <a href="https://bit.ly/4g0MN5e">https://bit.ly/4g0MN5e</a> </li> <li>Tim Minchin - <a href="https://apple.co/492kgsN">https://apple.co/492kgsN</a> </li> </ul> <p>To listen to Nick Cave on Rick Ruben's podcast Tetragrammaton, follow this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3ThOxhf">https://bit.ly/3ThOxhf</a><br><br>To watch this episode on YouTube, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3P8Whzy</p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
