Janelle Booker - Living With ADHD
Nov 3, 2024 1h 28m<p>In this long-awaited Academy of Imperfection, we chat to psychologist Janelle Booker, who specialises in ADHD and Highly Sensitive Person trait.</p> <p>There is SO MUCH to learn (and love) about an ADHD brain.</p> <p>We learn how ADHDers are often extremely creative, innovative, and talented, and in the right conditions, absolutely thrive.</p> <p>However, ADHDers may struggle with executive functions such as time keeping, organisation and emotional regulation, which can make daily life really hard and exhausting.</p> <p>People with ADHD can be more susceptible to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, as well as dopamine boosting activities such as risk-taking behaviour, addiction and disordered eating. This is why seeking the right diagnosis and treatment plan can be really impactful. </p> <p>With school as a battleground, and friendships sometimes hard to maintain, Hugh, Ryan and Josh chat through how neurotypical people can be better allies and support systems to ADHDers, as friends, partners, employers, and parents.</p> <p>On a HSP note (not the snack pack, unfortunately), we bet a few of you might resonate with Janelle’s explanation, especially since 15-20% of the population have the Highly Sensitive Person trait.</p> <p>Janelle, it was an absolute pleasure, and we can’t believe we didn’t do this sooner.</p> <p>Janelle is based in Western Australia, and her practice Janelle Booker Psychology, will be accepting new clients in February 2025.

Sep 15, 2024 1h 27m<p>For Nathan Buckley, self-reflection is critical for becoming the person he wants to be. </p> <p>Placed on a pedestal during his playing career (for good reason), Bucks was Collingwood’s favourite son, and GOD he felt the pressure. Communicating only through criticism, both to himself and his teammates, Bucks says he was "demented" in the way he trained.</p> <p>In this episode, Bucks shares the steps he took to change his entire approach to playing and coaching footy. Importantly, unlearning that playing good footy meant being worthy and how letting go and asking for help completely changed his relationship with himself.<br><br>Also...

Dr Emily - Compassion of The Self

Aug 18, 2024 1h 6m<p>‘The Inspired Unemployed’ began when a couple of tradies, Jack Steele and Matt ‘Falcon’ Ford, began an Instagram to catalogue the skits they were writing and filming overseas.</p> <p>Since then, Jack and Falcon have launched Australia’s fastest selling beer, collaborated with Fendi and Louis Vuitton, have 2 million followers on Instagram, launched a podcast exclusive to Spotify AND star in their own TV show <em>The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers</em>. Life, from the outside, seems pretty much perfect.</p> <p>In this Vulnerabilitea House we chat with Jack Steele about his fear of losing relevance. Extremely generous in his vulnerability, Jack opens up about his terrifying panic attacks, anxiety over not being productive; his ADHD diagnosis; and what it’s like to live and work with your best mate, while still trying to be, well, best mates.</p> <p>Jack, we’re <em>in</em> love with you.</p> <p>To watch this full episode on YouTube, click this link: <a href="https://youtu.be/xxAx0kOOAo8">https://youtu.be/xxAx0kOOAo8</a> </p> <p>🎧Things to listen to:</p> <ul> <li>Hamish MacDonald- How To Be You - <a href="https://bit.ly/4dhN8Ph">https://bit.ly/4dhN8Ph</a></li> </ul> <p>📖Things to read:</p> <ul> <li>ADHD 2.0 - Edward Hallowell - <a href="https://bit.ly/4dlE8IP">https://bit.ly/4dlE8IP</a></li> </ul> <p>📱Things to scroll:</p> <ul> <li>The Inspired Unemployed on Instagram - <a href="https://bit.ly/4dDpdtm">https://bit.ly/4dDpdtm</a></li> </ul> <p>📺Things to watch:</p> <ul> <li>The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers - <a href="https://bit.ly/4fGD2Jm">https://bit.ly/4fGD2Jm</a></li> <li>Anomalisa - <a href="https://bit.ly/3Avx1il">https://bit.ly/3Avx1il</a></li> </ul> <p>📋Things to do:</p> <ul> <li>Maria’s Resilience First Aid Training - <a href="https://bit.ly/4dEYzQT">https://bit.ly/4dEYzQT</a></li> </ul> <p>👨‍🦲Things for hair loss</p> <ul> <li>Hugh’s hairspray product - <a href="https://bit.ly/3yuh4ss">https://bit.ly/3yuh4ss</a></li> <li>Finasteride (please note this a prescription product and should only be used after a consultation with your GP) - <a href="https://bit.ly/3WNw2BI">https://bit.ly/3WNw2BI</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.

Jackson Tozer - Don’t Give Up On Me
Aug 4, 2024 1h 14m<p>Jackson Tozer embodies the essence of The Imperfects podcast. Well, that’s what Ryan thinks, and we’re pretty keen to agree.</p> <p>Hugely successful and outrageously talented, Jackson, from the outside, is living the dream. Behind the professional success of acting alongside Shaun Micallef, John Cena and Zac Efron (and Ryan, can’t forget Ryan), Jackson found himself learning how to be a high-functioning addict (literally high) at rock bottom.</p> <p>Sharing his experience with grief, the loss of his best friend and marijuana addiction, which contributed to his battle with bulimia, anxiety and depression, we thank Jackson for being so bloody generous with his vulnerability.<br><br><em>This episode with Jackson Tozer includes a discussion about eating disorders, marijuana addiction and suicide .

Another Imperfect Chat About Men
Aug 1, 2024 58 min<p>This is not compulsory listening, but then again, it kind of is.</p> <p>We’re back to have another imperfect conversation about men, violence and consent, because we're still imperfect and we believe reflecting on behaviour is key to changing it. </p> <p>We don't have all the answers, but in collaboration with Teach Us Consent and future OAM Chanel Contos, we’ve come up with some new Vulnerabilitea House questions to help anyone get vulnerable and think deeply about these issues. </p> <p>In all honesty, we’re pretty nervous about answering them, but reflecting and getting vulnerable with ourselves and others is how we do better and become the people we want to be.</p> <p>You can find the questions on our instagram: <a href="https://bit.ly/4dnfjvO">https://bit.ly/4dnfjvO</a></p> <p><em>Vulnerability is the willingness </em><em>to be seen as our authentic selves, even </em><em>when we don’t know how others will respond. </em><em>To be vulnerable is to take an emotional risk and w</em><em>hile it does promote connection, it can also cause distress and should </em><em>never be forced.

Jul 7, 2024 1h 29m<p>Have you ever made a really bad decision? Made a call that you couldn’t undo? It's a fear for many, and for others, living with the reality of a ‘roll of the dice’ gone wrong, is cause for great sadness, and discomfort. <br><br>But, there is wisdom in mistakes. And for Poh Ling Yeow, learning to own her bad decisions, meant she could move forward with empathy and acceptance. <br><br>A skill she's honed through a life of ‘magooing’ to her way onto our screens through Master Chef, into our kitchens through cookbooks, and very much into our hearts. (Ref. Mr. Magoo). </p> <p>In fact, the level of maturity Poh is able to bring to so much of her life, is unlike anyone we’ve ever met before.</p> <p>Links mentioned in this episode.</p> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Masterchef on Tenplay - <a href="https://bit.ly/4cwzbg8">https://bit.ly/4cwzbg8</a></li> <li>South Park - Morman fellowshipping of Kyle - <a href="https://bit.ly/4cniH9x">https://bit.ly/4cniH9x</a></li> </ul> <p>🍽️ Things to cook</p> <ul> <li>Poh’s latest cookbook - <a href="https://bit.ly/4cA1dXo">https://bit.ly/4cA1dXo</a></li> </ul> <p>🎨 Art to see</p> <ul> <li>Poh’s paintings - The Girl - <a href="https://bit.ly/45u0rZI">https://bit.ly/45u0rZI</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.

Michael Klim - The Race of His LIfe
Jun 23, 2024 1h 21m<p>What would it feel like to have the very thing that mad you great - your body, strength and co-ordination - slowly and painfully taken away from you?</p> <p>As a swimmer, Michael Klim was on top of the world - he was literally ‘World Swimmer of the Year’. Trips to the Olympics, medals of every colour, 21 world records AND his face on the cover of a Foo Fighters Album, Michael really did have it all.</p> <p>However, in 2022 Michael was diagnosed with a life changing condition, wherein your body attacks it’s own tissue - chronic inflammatory demyelination polyneuropathy (CIDP).</p> <p>In this episode, Hugh, Ryan and Josh chat to Michael about his equally impressive life out of the pool, and how his CIDP diagnosis has taught him a lot about identity, grief and relationships.</p> <p>In 2023, Michael partnered with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood to help raise awareness for the vital role blood donation plays in not just his life, but the 1 in 3 Australians who will need blood products in their lifetime. To help recipients like Michael and countless others book a blood donation here. <a href="https://bit.ly/4c8Z6tN">https://bit.ly/4c8Z6tN</a></p> <p>To watch the full episode on YouTube, follow this link. <a href="https://bit.ly/3RHPUoi">https://bit.ly/3RHPUoi</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Links mentioned in the episode and extra resources:</p> <p> </p> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Homer Simpson’s journey through the Stages of Grief - <a href="https://bit.ly/4epRAMJ">https://bit.ly/4epRAMJ</a>.</li> <li>The Imperfects x Lifeblood video - <a href="https://bit.ly/3z0Suiv">https://bit.ly/3z0Suiv</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>🎧 Previous Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode:</p> <ul> <li>Tim Minchin - Lucky To Be Here - <a href="https://apple.co/492kgsN">https://apple.co/492kgsN</a> </li> <li>Gina Chick - Don’t Fight Life - <a href="https://apple.co/3UKpxQ8">https://apple.co/3UKpxQ8</a> </li> <li>Elizabeth Day - The Me-est Version of Me - <a href="https://apple.co/47PubRU">https://apple.co/47PubRU</a> </li> <li>Reece Conca - Tackling Male Infertility - <a href="https://apple.co/4fUmEEm">https://apple.co/4fUmEEm</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Kubler-Ross Grief Cycle is here <a href="https://bit.ly/45tThVu">https://bit.ly/45tThVu</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>⛑️ To support</p> <ul> <li>Lifeblood - <a href="https://bit.ly/4c8Z6tN">https://bit.ly/4c8Z6tN</a></li> <li>The Klim Foundation - <a href="https://bit.ly/4ejtGTj">bit.ly/4ejtGTj</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>🎧 </strong>Things to listen to:</p> <ul> <li>Milkshakes for Marlee - <a href="https://bit.ly/4cwRDEW">https://bit.ly/4cwRDEW</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.

Dr Emily - What Are Your Boundaries?
Jun 16, 2024 1h 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
Jun 2, 2024 1h 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.
