Shelley Laslett

Part 2 of the conversation with Shelley Laslett, begins with me thanking her for the gentle nudge I needed to make a commitment to my wellbeing again and start seeing a psychologist again. Thank you Shelley!!! In this episode we discuss the signs of perfectionism including criticising ourselves, why its important to allow ourselves time to celebrate our achievements and how we can move from maladaptive to adaptive perfectionism if we take out the word failure and simply put in the words not yet. Shelley also shares some practical and timely quotes including how our boundaries are the fences to your freedom, we can't lead anybody if we're not willing to lead ourselves, if we change the way we look at things things change and if your best friend wouldn't;t say it to you don't say it to yourself.

Perfectionism Pt 2 - Shelley Laslett

Perfectionism is something that I have grappled with most of my adult life. Feelings of not being good enough, black and white thinking, obsessive compulsions and comparison have been constant companions for many years. It's a trap many of us fall into and at times it's hard to unravel these behavioural patterns and adopt a more positive approach. Shelley Laslett is a neuroscience coach, social scientist, international speaker and also has a lived experience with perfectionism. In the first of two parts, Shelley discusses that we don't ever stop being a perfectionist, but you can learn how to handle the negative elements of it and adapt them to become more positive, how any strengths overplayed can become a weakness, awareness is the key with any form of understanding self, the difference between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism and how the people younger than 35 feel that perfectionism is engrained in their identity.  You can find Shelley at: Website: https://www.vitae.coach/meetshelley  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vitaecareercoach/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelley.vitae/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vitae.coach/  Email: hello@vitae.coach Support the show: http://pukaup.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It takes a special kind of person to be a full time carer. Someone willing to to put the needs of another person ahead of their own.

Carers are often a forgotten group of people, who struggle to be seen, heard and acknowledged for the incredible work they do every day across the country.

Masculinity - Tom Harkin

The Christmas holiday period can be a wonderful time spent celebrating with family and friends. It is also a stressful and difficult time for many people within our families and communities. What do we do during these challenging times if we feel overwhelmed, stressed, emotional or living with mental health conditions? Equally, it can also be difficult to know what to do if we are concerned about a family member or friend.   In this special Christmas episode, host Wayne Schwass sits down with psychiatrist and former Australian of the Year Pat McGorry to discuss some of the early warning signs of stress and potential mental health conditions, what to do if we identify with any signs, what strategies we can use to help cope with stressful situations or emotions.  Pat also offers some important advice for anyone who might be suicidal as well as advice for family and friends who are trying to support a loved one who is suicidal.  In this episode we discuss: • Early warning signs of stress and potential mental health conditions • What to do if we identify with any warning signs or symptoms • Types of behaviours, decisions that are not helpful  • Strategies that we can use to help ourselves • Strategies that family and friends can use to help a loved one • What to do if we are feeling suicidal • What to do if we are concerned about a loved one who is suicidal Getting Help Emergency support 000Lifeline 13 11 14Beyondblue 1300 22 46 36Sane 1800 18 72 63Panda 1300 72 63 06Mind Australia 1300 28 64 63Mensline 1300 78 99 78Kids Help Line 1800 55 18 00Suicide Call Back Service 1300 65 94 67Qlife 1800 18 45 27 PukaUp www.pukaup.comwww.pukaup.com/helpwww.facebook.com/pukaup@pukaup (Instagram)@pukaup (Twitter)@wayneschwass (Instagram)@wayneschwass (Twitter)See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.Support the show: http://pukaup.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendan Fevola

Brendan Fevola played 204 AFL games with the Carlton and Brisbane Lions football clubs over a twelve year period. His career included 623 goals, two Coleman Medals, being a three time All Australian and leading goal scorer with the Carlton Football Club for seven consecutive years. In this episode 'Fev' explains why he has no regrets choosing to accept that things happened for a reason and that he needed to go through difficult times to get to where he is today, and why he struggled to open up and tell people what he was going through.'Fev' talks candidly to host Wayne Schwass about how his way of dealing with boredom was to use alcohol and gambling, openly admitting he gambled away an entire year's salary. This larger than life personality still can't explain why he would spend hours reading on-line football forums every night for years looking for approval without recognising the significantly negative impact this was having on his health, wellbeing and importantly his ability to perform as an AFL athlete. A 68 day stay in a mental health facility whilst still being a contracted AFL player with the Brisbane Lions Football Club, going on to win "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" and his eventual move to Yarrawonga to play local football were key decisions that helped him change his life. Brendan also speaks about the influence his ex-wife now fiancee, Alex has had on his life.See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.Support the show: http://pukaup.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kate McLoughlin

In this candid and raw episode, Kate McLoughlin talks to host Wayne Schwass about the impact and grief that comes with suicide. Kate lost her then 19-year-old middle son Zach to suicide twenty months ago, a day that changed her life forever. Kate's honesty and candour is both heart breaking and inspiring. A single mum to three young men, Kate talks about her pride in her middle son: his cheeky, infectious personality that meant people gravitated to him, how he had a wonderful support network of friends and family, a good job, new car and a promising future. Kate speaks about the conversations she shared with Zach when two of his friends chose suicide instead of life, how angry he was about their decisions which gave her a level of comfort that suicide wasn't something Zach would ever consider. Tragically, it was a decision Zach chose and by choosing suicide he simply passed the pain and suffering onto family and friends. Kate also explains why she chose to speak about suicide and its devastating effects in front of a large audience at Zach's funeral, how she sees it as a gift and responsibility to talk about suicide with the aim of helping prevent other people from making the same irreversible mistake her fun-loving son made. Kate McLoughlin is an inspiring, courageous and brave person who continues to work through the grief, pain and loss that accompanies suicide. Kate's refusal to remain quiet on the issue of suicide has and will continue to save lives across the world. This is a compelling, heartfelt and emotional episode.Today, the 27th November, 2017 would have been Zach's 21st birthday #RIP ZachSee omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.Support the show: http://pukaup.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gratitude, empathy and mindfulness - Hugh van Cuylenburg

Osher Günsberg is one of Australia's most recognisable media personalities best known as the host of 'The Bachelor Australia' and 'The Bachelorette Australia'. He has forged a successful media career on both television and radio while living with and managing mental health conditions. In this episode, Osher speaks candidly to host Wayne Schwass about his journey with social anxiety, generalised anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. He looks back on the day his brain 'broke' and his experience with psychosis while living in California. This confronting experience was a significant turning point in Osher's life which lead to his sobriety and helped him realise that ultimately his mental health was his responsibility. He accepted that he needed to take medication each day to help manage his health and that finding the right balance between the benefits of medication and the side affects took time. Osher's pragmatic approach towards his on-going management of his mental health is both refreshing and inspiring.See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.Support the show: http://pukaup.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
