We need to change the way we look at what makes us 'weird'. Limitation?  Weakness?  Character flaw? Absolutely not, it's the opposite. If you want to make a difference. If you want to bring something to the world that doesn't already exist, the only thing you can offer is YOU. What makes you weird, is your greatest asset. So be weird AF. #podcast #mentalhealthpodcast #weirdisbest #beweird #imweird #whatisweird #embraceyourweirdpodcast #acceptance #acceptancecommitmenttherapy #personalityacceptance #behaviouralpsychology #psychologyaustralia 

Bashed for it's negative impacts on mental health. Praised for it's positive impacts on inclusiveness and connectivity.  So when it comes to social media, which is it? That depends on whether you're able to count the cost. A deep dive and objective look into the benefits and disadvantages of social media use on our mental health today. #mentalhealthawareness #socialmedia #instagood #perthblogger #perthpodcast #socialmediapodcast #countthecostofsocialmedia #funny #haha #happy #sad #motivation #instadaily #anchorpodcast #spotifypodcast #mentalhealthpodcast 

I've had so many questions from listeners asking me to tackle this topic, and, for good reason. The 'recent' pandemic has given many of us the opportunity to slow down just enough to question whether or not the careers we have built are truly what they're cracked up to be. But the prospect of moving on can be a very daunting, and very difficult decision to make, so lets help you decide once and for all: is it time to bolt for the door? Or should you stay? #podcaster #perthpodcast #psychologyaustralia #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #work #quitjobgotravel #quitjob #threereasonstoquityourjobpodcast 

How much of a handle over your difficult thoughts and feelings do you ACTUALLY have? Does the idea of them cause you to immediately void your bowels with fear?  What if i told you that the root cause of your struggle with them, was your efforts to keep them 'under control'. Trying to control your thoughts and feelings is like trying to play a game of basketball with the rules of strip poker; it's emotionally exhausting, ineffective, and you feeling insecure for trying.  There's a better way to respond to your thoughts and feelings, one without struggle which allows you to engage in life and the things that are most important. And it begins, by dropping your obsession with control. #selfhelp #podcast #podcasting #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #comedy #quotes #mindmatters #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalillnessrecovery #lifestyle 

Three ways, to unfu** your success complex. What if everything you knew about being a success was wrong? What if the image of what success looked like was false? What if those modelled as successful actually weren't? What if living a successful life was far more immediate and accessible than you realised? #mentalhealthn #thoughts #mindfulness #podcast

Shakyamuni Buddha famously sat under a Bodhi Tree for 49 days to achieve a sense of inner peace and understand the meaning of his existence. Unfortunately A: We're time-poor, B: Lazy and C: Don't have quick access to a Bodhi tree. But a meaningful life isn't something that's too idyllic and out of reach. Using Buddha's experience, we'll give you four (sort of borrowed this off his four truths), practical truths to how you can have a meaningful life, TODAY.

Self-punishment; a self defeating, pro social behaviour we have that needs to be thrown into the bin, urinated on, and lit on fire. Is it possible that your inability to forgive yourself and constant need to over-apologise is somehow linked to this...? Is it possible, that you could avoid the self inflicted pain and hardship of an archaic way of thinking that's existed since the 14th century? Is it possible to click bait this episode any harder? Allow us to shed a light for you. *turns light on*.

Banish negative thoughts to have a happy meaningful life. Does that ring a bell? Well, perhaps we've had this wrong the whole time... Unfortunately, not only is the idea of distinguishing between 'good' and 'bad' thoughts self destructive to your own long term mental health, but it goes against a central biological pillar of what it is to be a human being. Go into this one with an open mind, and you may just learn something. Or you might not. But the point is; this is free and you should probably just listen.

Passion>purpose. Purpose is marketed to us as a central goal in our life as a human being, but have you ever asked why this is, where it came from, and the cost is? There's something far simpler you can do to make a long lasting impact on your life, to declutter your brain, and focus your attention. It's called passion, and it's not complicated. #mentalhealth #passion #purpose #mind

Perspective is one of those buzzwords that everyone from Nietzsche to your mums partner; 'Greg', has been using to lecture you about improving your life. But despite the fact the idea has repelled so many of us through it's 'cliche`-ness', today we're going to unearth how perspective can truly enhance your life...and how the the idea has been sold to us incorrectly for so long.
