Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Osher’s conversation with Nazeem Hussain got him thinking about how responding to aggression with kindness can drastically change the outcome of an interaction. But how can we assert ourselves, communicate our boundaries and still show grace and understanding in the face of rage?

Laughing with people feels so good. In recent times, there has been a lot of talk about using comedy to change people’s minds. It is easy to forget how cathartic comedy can be. Nazeem Hussain is one of Australia’s most beloved comedians.Osher and Nazeem caught up while they were both performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in April. Nazeem was fasting at the time and so they discuss how fasting can be a form of devotion, how responding to racism with peace has unexpected effects and Australian comedy.Leave a voicemail at Better Than Yesterday: Osher GünsbergAlso go there to get on the mailing list, to get in touch and to listen to every episode ever.

In this episode, Osher talks about how in times of stress his “to do” list grows from an achievable series of tasks into an overwhelming mountain of improbable, high-stakes ideas.Perhaps you can relate?As the list gets longer, the stress mounts, the distraction gets worse, the quality of work plummets, your effective ability to complete any of those tasks dwindles and then you start to put other things on the list that make up for the things you’ve now missed on the list.‌Thankfully there’s a way around this.The “To NOT do list”.Enjoy writing yours.‌Take the time to figure out your personal values with a test like this one‌To leave a voicemail, get in touch and get every episode ever head to oshergunsberg.com Hosted on Acast.

Sometimes without realising it, we lapse back into old behaviours.Sometimes we’re hot and we’re cold.Getting dressed to do a workout and returning emails instead.Arriving late to an event with no clear reason as to why.Behaviours we’ve worked hard to change, sometimes rear their ugly heads.This is what happens when choices we make in a hot state (In the heat of the moment) differ from intentions we have in a cold state (when we are able to reflect on the alignment of our actions and our values).It’s when we’re in a hot state that we make poor decisions that often lead to shame spirals, frustration or negative outcomes.Osher reflects on making choices when we’re in cold states in the hope that we can stay on track and choose things more in alignment with our original intention. For previous episodes, to get on the mailing list and to get in touch, go to oshergunsberg.comIf you want to you can drop G a DM hereWatch full guest episodes on YouTube here Hosted on Acast.

We take our daily showers for granted. Orange Sky co-founder Nic Marchesi created a mobile laundry and shower for homeless people. The initial idea was to help people experience the dignity of cleanliness and make things just that little bit easier. But what happened while everyone’s belongings were being washed was arguably even more important.Orange Sky have created a new podcast called ‘The F Word’. Each episode shares real-life experiences of people experiencing homelessness and hardship, along with the perspectives of Orange Sky’s dedicated volunteers. You’ll hear about the origins of Orange Sky and meet their very first “friend,” learning how simple conversations and clean clothes can restore dignity and hope.Osher and Nic discuss the misconceptions about experiencing homelessness and hardship, the importance of chatting to people and the inherent dignity of being clean.Leave a voicemail at Better Than Yesterday: Osher GünsbergAlso go there to get on the mailing list, to get in touch and to listen to every episode ever.

To resist change is to resist the very nature of the universe that we are living in. We are moving through space at 230 kilometres per second, change is the only constant in our lives. And yet, when things alter or become different, most of us struggle.Today, Osher will explore ways to not only embrace change, but celebrate it. Remembering that we are moving through space at all times, can help our problems feel a lot less challenging and a lot more manageable.For previous episodes, to get on the mailing list and to get in touch, go to oshergunsberg.comIf you want to you can drop G a DM hereWatch full guest episodes on YouTube here Hosted on Acast.

Can you draw?

You failed? Great! ‘The Guilty Feminist’ podcast host, comedian and writer Deborah Frances-White believes that embracing our failures is the key to success. We won’t always get everything right, but that’s OK. We learn the most by failing. Deborah Frances-White joined Osher in Sydney while she was in town for the Australian leg of The Guilty Feminist tour. Deborah shares her story of growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness in Brisbane. It turns out Osher and Deborah went to the same theatre sports school at the same time! They discuss privilege versus access, the importance of belonging, what being our authentic selves really means and how improvised comedy can help us trust our instincts.

Reflecting on Jelena Dokic’s episode, in this episode Osher explores the relationship between resilience and vulnerability. Vulnerability without resilience is dangerous. If you’re vulnerable without the strength to cope, you’re wide open to calamity. Like being immunocompromised next to someone coughing—you’re incredibly susceptible to harm. On the flip side, if you’re resilient without being vulnerable, your relationships, creativity, and ability to connect with others suffer. Vulnerability shows how susceptible you are to danger or stress, while resilience is your ability to recover from it. The good news is, resilience is something we can build and develop, and in this episode, Osher offer up a few key ways to develop that skill.

We have come a long way. Ten years ago when this podcast began, would we as a society have been ready to hear Jelena Dokic’s story?Australia watched and cheered as Jelena Dokic dominated international tennis. From the outside it seemed as though Jelena had everything. But behind the scenes, a lot more was going on.There were clues, but the media and society at the time made a joke of them.Jelena Dokic has revealed her truth in her new book ‘Fearless’. Jelena is honest, open and has begun a conversation that will help all of us to break stigmas, own our stories and keep going.

Have you ever gone through an intersection while driving tired late at night and only when it was behind you did the explosion of adrenaline alert you to the fact that you almost had an accident? In this episode Osher tells a tale of running through a massive stop sign while he was still drinking and using, describes the wreckage that followed, and the repair work that needed to happen (and continues to this day) Perhaps this story will help you recognise a stop sign you’ve missed in your own life, or help understand why the person you’ve been trying to send a warning sign to might not be listening.

After Linda Marigliano’s episode on Wednesday, Osher was on a mission to recapture that wonderful feeling of a first kiss. Using something his shrink taught him years ago, Osher explains how to increase the release of the ‘love hormone’ oxytocin when kissing to the point you’ll be singing that song “feels like the first time”.

Everyone has a story about how we were affected by the Covid Pandemic. In this episode, Osher speaks with broadcaster and DJ Linda Marigliano about being stuck in Australia, away from the man she fell in love with and not knowing if they’d ever make it. This all happened while she grappled not only her own fertility journey, but working around a life-long tendency to be a people pleaser. Linda’s has a new book “Love language” and an award-winning documentary podcast “tough love”.

We generally avoid thinking about losing the things we love, but what if deliberately doing so made us love and appreciate those things even more? In this episode, Osher explores the idea of “The Last Time” (*not the Farnham farewell tour). With its roots in ancient Stoic practice, “The Last Time” only takes a few breaths to do yet can have a profound effect on the presence and meaning we feel in our day. It even makes Osher’s wife say “why are you being so weird?” when he sees her again after doing this, which he finds incredibly amusing. ‌ ‌ For every episode ever, to get on the mailing list or to get in touch, go to Better Than Yesterday: Osher Günsberg If you want to you can drop G a DM here Watch full guest episodes on YouTube here Hosted on Acast.

How many people are in your village?It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things.Without that support or purpose, things can get out of balance.Osher is joined by broadcaster and the founder of Gotcha4Life, Gus Worland. He has dedicated his career to helping people, mostly men - actively work on building that village. He never intended to do it, however when he got the call, Gus went all in. Hosted on Acast.

Today, Osher speaks with Sylvia Jeffreys, an incredibly accomplished journalist and presenter, originally from Brisbane Australia. Sylvia has a matter-of-fact, get-after-it vibe about her which makes the career success she’s had make perfect sense. Sylvia is very open about how she juggles family life and home life, also how she has found particularly interesting ways to deliberately work emotional regulation into her day so she’s able to go back home to her kids after a day exposing herself to the unedited grim realities of the world. ‌ What did you think of this episode?

MELISSA ETHERIDGE is my guest this week. Yes, THE Melissa Etheridge. She’s touring once again, kicking off in Perth in May, then heading east stopping all stations, Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Sydney (which is already sold out). She’s bringing some family with her as you’re about to hear she is very very excited about it. If this is your first time hearing about this remarkable woman, let me bring you up to speed. Melissa Etheridge is a Grammy winning, Oscar winning singer/songwriter superstar. For over 30 years her distinctive voice has told stories of love, passion and heartache. She’s publicly lived through challenges that most people experience in private - her journey of coming out, a cancer diagnosis, hair loss from the chemo, and recently the absolutely tragic loss of her son Beckett who passed away from an opioid overdose at just 21. Yeah, heads up - we talk about that, and I end up crying in this chat. Melissa, however, has used her grief to explore ways of treating addiction by supporting world-first research into the use of plant medicines previously associated with sacred ceremony and how they might be able to save lives so affected by addiction.

Today we’re talking to SHARON CALLISTER - she’s the CEO of Mission Australia. Sharon is one of these rare humans that’s just born to help. Can’t stop her, won’t stop her. Among the things she’s focusing on - is addressing the grim challenge of rising homelessness among women in Australia. You might be confronted by some of the misconceptions about homelessness in Australia. Sharon shares some pretty intense stories of people she’s worked with who have experienced homelessness and the challenges they face. Helping an individual is important, however it’s treating a symptom not a cause, so Sharon has a lot to say about the need for investment in social and affordable housing and the power of early intervention. We do talk about domestic and family violence and the role of education in changing attitudes and behaviours. I know it sounds grim - but I promise you this is a conversation full of hope. Enjoy this chat with Sharon Callister. MICF shows on sale now Tickets at oshergunsberg.comhttps://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/osher-guensberg-ntnnnnGot suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?
