Hi Team! Life at TYP central is mayhem at the moment, so we’re delving into the archives to share one of my favourite episodes with you. I will be back tomorrow with a freshie. See you then, Harps. *You wouldn’t think a conversation about trauma could be uplifting, entertaining and even fun, but this chat with Dr. Sarah Woodhouse (trauma expert, research psychologist, author and coach) is all that and more because not only is she a high level academic with a great understanding of the science, but she’s also endured her own trauma journey and come out the other side with amazing compassion, insight, energy and humour. Among other things, we discuss eating disorders, bullying and sexual abuse (all part of Sarah’s story), post-traumatic growth, the trauma spectrum (there’s a range), vicarious trauma, what trauma does to our body, healing and recovery, what causes a trauma response, the stress-anxiety-trauma relationship and why swearers are smarter than non-swearers (it’s science Bro).

#1854 Politics & Purpose - Zoe Daniel
Can't say that I've interviewed too many politicians but you'll (probably) be pleased to know that this was anything but a political interview, and Zoe and I went deep down the conversational rabbit hole talking about everything from parenthood, leadership, communication and her childhood dream of becoming a Vet, to mental health, self-regulation, working in high-pressure situations (war zones etc.), dealing with haters and navigating the mayhem that is, politics. *Zoe Daniel is an Australian politician and former journalist. She was elected as the first independent member of parliament for the Division of Goldstein at the 2022 Australian federal election. Prior to entering Parliament, Daniel was a journalist for the ABC from 1993 until 2020. She was an ABC foreign correspondent in three different postings, including Southeast Asia, the USA and Africa. Her most recent posting was as the ABC's U.S. bureau chief between 2015 and 2019.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1853 Progress Over Perfection - Harps
How's that 'perfection' thing working out for you? You know who you are. You know the frustration, anxiety, disappointment and pressure that comes with chronic perfectionism. It's crippling. It's a self-created psychological prison and it's more likely to lead to misery than it is, joy. Maybe 'better' (not best) is a healthier goal? Progress, not perfection? This episode is a chat about all that. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1852 The Other Version Of You - Bobby Cappuccio
Bobby's back and this time we talk about the value (or lack thereof) of 'self-help', our own humble and unremarkable beginning in the world of motivating, educating and coaching, the challenge of learning how to learn optimally, understanding what works for our brain and mind, what lives at the intersection of frustration and curiosity, a very famous Harvard study that happened to be a scam and lots more.

#1851 Temporary Psychopaths - David Gillespie
According to David Gillespie (and some very reliable research studies), good old-fashioned Paracetamol (Panamax, Panadol, Tylenol) can create the interesting 'side effect' of making people temporarily less empathetic or as DG suggests, “temporary psychopaths!” We also chat about why (and how) Al might soon make 'The You Project' (or at least, the host) redundant. As always this was super interesting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The You Project is a 30-90 minute dose of inspiration and education hosted by Craig Harper with great stories, ideas, strategies and lessons from high-performers in sport, business, science, media and health.
