IMPERFIX: Believing Women with Tarang Chawla
May 24, 2024 18 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
May 19, 2024 58 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
May 17, 2024 11 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
May 12, 2024 1h 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>

IMPERFIX: Johann Hari & Josh Talk About Addiction
May 3, 2024 20 min<p>In this episode of the IMPERFIX we revisit one of our many conversations with Johann Hari. 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
Apr 21, 2024 1h 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.

Apr 18, 2024 32 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.

IMPERFIX: Imposter Syndrome with Hamish Blake

Elizabeth Day - The Me-est Version Of Me
Mar 31, 2024 1h 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.

Pat Cummins - Love, Loss & Life
Mar 3, 2024 1h 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>
