Reframe Of Mind

Are you a people pleaser? Maybe you've seen its impact on leadership or experienced first-hand how people pleasers can be drawn to toxic relationships. Are people pleasers really happy anyway?Pleasing others isn't always a bad thing, but when it becomes such a significant part of your personality, it can trigger anxiety and bring its associated trauma. So what happens when you stop that people-pleasing behaviour?In this episode, we meet comedian, author, educator and broadcaster, Nelly Thomas, who helps us realise the value of reaching the zero ducks stage. And you know we're not talking about ducks, autocorrect! Nelly's story is one of backing ourselves as she tells us, up front, about her mental health journey and how she has learned to value herself in the face of the outside world's demands. Because once we take responsibility for looking after ourselves, those unreasonable demands just become white noise.

We think they're worth their weight in gold, but as we always say, don't just take our word for it! Mentoring is on the minds of lots of Google searchers with questions like “who mentored Gordon Ramsay, “who mentored Justin Bieber,” and even “who mentored Jesus?”  We don't have the answers to any of those questions by as your trusty guides in this mental health story called Reframe Of Mind we (Louise and Andy) were really keen to find out how mentors can make a difference and how a mentorship can help you. As we push ahead building our own little empire with Welcome Change Media, we were especially interested to find out how mentors help to create success with startup businesses like our own.  This episode's guests include Indiginerd founder, Cienan Muir, female economy expert, Jacinta Carboon and 2021 NSW Young Australian of the Year, Nathan Parker, amongst others. Each guest has their own relationship to mentoring and being mentored and perfectly illustrate why mentoring is important not only in leadership, but in the workplace in general.   Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reframe-of-mind.

Of all the types of storytelling surrounding us, Indigenous storytelling, through its oral storytelling origins, has endured on this continent for over sixty thousand years. As traditional stories and knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation, Indigenous peoples have increasingly adapted as new formats become available.   Yorta Yorta/Ngarrindjeri man, Cienan Muir is on the leading edge of Indigenous storytelling, using gaming and pop culture as methods to tell traditional stories and engage young Indigenous people. As founder of Indiginerd, a space to celebrate Indigenous creativity, he launched Indigicon as a platform for Indigenous people to come together and share their stories.  Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reframe-of-mind.

Change can be triggering in a lot of ways. Whether you've made a commitment to change or it came out of the blue, there are things along the way that can jump up to surprise us, or we've been happily avoiding. Sometimes we adapt, knowing what was can never be again.Louise and Andy tread through the minefield of grief and major change in this episode and both have a little cry along the way, because adapting to change can be just as difficult as deciding to step into something new.If you've ever told yourself the tarot reader wasn't that good because they told you something you didn't want to hear, or had that unsteady “what now?” feeling when your world was turned upside down it might be time to unlearn a few things and draw on your strengths to adapt and settle into the, dare we say it, “new normal”.Wisdom in this episode, exploring the psychology of adapting to change, comes courtesy of Associate Professor Kimberley Norris Associate Head of Learning and Teaching in Psychology at the University of Tasmania; Australia's Dr Happy Tim Sharp, founder of The Happiness Institute; Diversity trans re-lator, speaker, educator and coach, Sally Goldner AM; bestselling small business author, entrepreneur and global presenter, Andrew Griffiths; Professor Alex Maritz from La Trobe Business School, New Zealand Endurance Athlete and Longevity Coach Lisa Tamati and behavioural consultant and Director of Positive Minds Australia Madhavi Nawana-Parker. With so many strong voices around them, Andy and Louise invite you to join them as they work through the tears and continue their healing journey.

How's your support network?Surrounding ourselves with the right people could mean the difference between feeling affirmed and inspired or feeling like you can't do anything right.Imagine if a sports coach told their team they were trash when they needed to get more goals out of them instead of building them up with positive reinforcement. They probably wouldn't be winning any comps any time soon.A good team brings out the best in everyone and it doesn't only apply to sport. A good team uses everyone's strengths for the common good, and a good leader will recognise this and nurture those strengths.Someone who made this happen in a big way is Lisa Alexander, former Diamonds head coach for Netball Australia.If you're looking for an example of a healthy, supportive, high performance culture, look no further than the era in Australian netball that saw a Commonwealth Games victory, world championship wins and a stack of other victories over Lisa's nine-year coaching stint. The Australian Diamonds were ranked number one in the world at the time she departed as head coach.There's a reason why Lisa was named 2015 coach of the year, and in this episode, Andy and Louise chat with Lisa not only about why it's so important to have good people around you, but what that looks like in the real world.Lisa Alexander is currently head of high performance and assistant coach for the London Pulse.For more resources and show notes please visit www.reframeofmind.com.au Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reframe-of-mind.

Nobody is immune from big emotions, and if we're feeling depressed or anxious, it can feel like those big feelings are only feeding our low mood.But what about grief? That's a whole other beast that not only exposes us to big, raw feelings, but can also lead to significant changes in behaviour as anger and stress leads to conflict and, in some cases, for relationships to break down altogether.So how do we deal with these big emotions as we're coping with loss. Even if these big emotions aren't related to bereavement, is there a better way to manage or control our emotions, and is controlling our emotions actually what we need?What if there was a way to embrace our big emotions and give ourselves the chance to understand what they are and why we feel them so we can process them way before their bottled-up energy explodes?In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Director of Positive Minds Australia, Madhavi Nawana-Parker explores emotional intelligence, or EQ, and helps us to heal our inner child, rebuilding our emotional foundations, unlearning the patterns or our generation, and those who went before us. Louise and Andy share their personal stories of dealing with big emotions, too, with their own experiences of grief (spoiler: their experiences are just as messy as anybody else's!)

Everything happens for a reason. That's what toxic positivity will tell you, and it's the reason we've not only been focused on dismantling toxic positivity throughout the series so far, but thought we'd dedicate a whole episode to it! It did, after all, take out the Angsty awards in episode one.  So, what is considered toxic positivity? At best, it's misplaced optimism, at worst it's the dismissive statements that minimise or ignore a person's experience. Would you be able to pick the signs when you see or hear it, and can you identify what is more useful instead? Because at the other end of the scale, optimism is something that IS useful, if we can wade out of the toxic positivity.  In this episode, Andy and Louise talk to Australia's Dr Happy, Dr Tim Sharp, from the Happiness Institute, who explores the concept of positive psychology, without the toxic bits, as well as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) expert, Dr Lisa Saulsman from the University of Western Australia, who unpacks some useful approaches to help us not only sit with our uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, but to find a way out of rumination and into action.  Other guests include Chronic Illness Wellness Coach and person living with MS, Teisha Rose; author and CEO consultant, Lucy Bloom; and Director of The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use, Professor Maree Teesson, who each share their personal experience dealing with Toxic positivity and opting for optimism instead.  Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reframe-of-mind.

Change your behaviour, change your brain.Sometimes it feels like our troubleshooting mind gets out of control and before long, we're down a rabbit hole of limitation, stuck in a storm of thoughts and feelings, unable to think our way out of the maze. But what if instead of trying to change our thoughts first, we changed the behaviour instead? Supported by the robust principles of neuroscience to kick start our the pathways to change.We could dare to lean into possibilities, instead of limitations.Take stroke for example. It's not that long ago that people believed recovery of lost sensation wasn't possible, and we were focused on compensation rather than rehabilitation. But recovery IS possible, and in this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise and Andy bring together two guests that have personal experiences with stroke rehabilitation and recovery.New Zealand, ultra marathon runner Lisa Tamati, has first hand experience helping her mum recover from the damaging effects of stroke and a brain aneurysm. She recounts the impact of dealing with life after stroke, a raft of negative prognosis, and how through research on neuroplasticity and stroke recovery exercises, her mum was able to make a full recovery from stroke and regain abilities.And world leading Australian neuroscientist, Professor Leeanne Carey, has dedicated her career to occupational therapy, stroke rehabilitation and recovery research and helps us to understand how the brain recovers from the trauma of stroke and relearns through interconnected pathways.Leeanne is the Founding Head of the Neurorehabilitation and Recovery research group, Stroke Division, Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health and Discipline Lead of Occupational Therapy in the School of Allied Health, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, and she deep dives into stroke recovery and rehabilitation, neuroplasticity, sensation therapy, and walks us through the process of restoring movement and recalibrating our neural networks.If we are open to believing there might be another way, and to the discovery of learning, then we can achieve change. As Leeanne tells us: "Reframe of mind is about adapting and learning. Neuroplasticity is the mechanism that supports that. With a little bit of know-how, how-to, we can achieve that change."Show notes, resources and transcript available at  www.reframeofmind.com.au Support us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmind Reframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

How curious are you?Do you tend to focus on what can go wrong, or fantasise about what could go right, and if you make a mistake, do you tend to beat yourself up or take it as an opportunity to learn?Letting go of the need to be in control of every detail can be hard, especially when there's a lot riding on the outcome, but what if letting go of control brought even more of what you wanted than you could ever have imagined?Award-winning keynote speaker and author, Lucy Bloom, chats to Louise and Andy about the lessons life has served up for her in business and in dealing with her disability. In a bold realisation, Lucy realised that she has just as much control over what can go right as opposed to what could go wrong, which shifted her perspective on what it means to just get in and have a go.Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.au Support us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmind Reframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

'Music isn't just entertainment'. As Professor Bill Thompson told us 'It has a profound effect on virtually everything about us as human beings. How we relate to others, how we see ourselves, our psychological wellbeing and music can have a genuine impact on the brain'.Music is used in lots of ways to evoke emotions, whether it's to set the scene in film and TV storytelling, or by advertisers to convince us to buy their product because it will make us feel a certain way. Maybe you've used it to boost your mood or affirm how you feel when something significant has happened in your life. And what about the physical act of participating in music? In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise and Andy explore the importance of music for mental health, how music can improve mood, and how music and emotions are connected. They are joined by guests including Professor Bill Thompson from the Department of Psychology and Director of the Music, Sound and Performance Lab at Macquarie University and Professor Muireann Irish, cognitive neuropsychologist at the Brain and Mind Centre at the University of Sydney who share stories and research on the positive impact music can make.Louise and Andy have both held professional roles as radio station music directors and they deep dive into their love (and sometimes hate) of music and share the personal impact it has had on their lives. Or more accurately, (hilariously, if we do say so) over-share stories about bonking playlists, Andy's Abba obsession, Louise's musical messages from dead pets, milking the dopamine out of radio hits and that time they got in trouble at a Neil Diamond concert.Check out www.reframeofmind.com.au for show notes and transcript.

What's your favourite kind of music? How do you feel when the opposite of your favourite music plays compared to when you hear your favourite tunes?  In this episode, Andy and Louise chat to Distinguished Professor of the Department of Psychology, and Director of the Music, Sound and Performance Lab at Macquarie University, Bill Thompson, and cognitive neuropsychologist at the Brain and Mind Centre at the University of Sydney, Muireann Irish about the influence music has on our mood and memory for neurotypical people as well as people living with dementia.  Music isn't only something most of derive pleasure from, but can also provide a doorway to memory and enhance our mood.  Louise and Andy recall their time programming music for commercial radio stations and also explore their own personal connection to music and how it positively impacts their lives in this music-free music special… not counting our theme some and incidental music, that is, but after all, what would life be without a tune? Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.au Support us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmind Reframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

Good decision making is plastered all over self help and business books as the key to success, but if we could reliably make good decisions for ourselves every time, why don't we? That feeling of being stuck in the mud of indecision, especially when depression is at play, and the indecision just seems to hold us there and dig that hole even deeper for us is the point at which we get to that “now or never” point.  Does decision making always need to be about solving a problem? If you're asking yourself “how do I overcome chronic indecision and make progress” you probably feel like you've been cornered by that old foe, the imposter syndrome, and the procrastination tactics that surface when it comes out to play.  We make simple decisions every day, but even they can take a hit if we're feeling off balance. Sometimes delayed decisions are better decisions, and slowing down our decision making helps us to uncover some shortcuts that might not serve us well in all situations.  In this episode, we broaden the discussion around decision making, and the impact our mood and emotions can have on the choices we make. Louise talks about some of the decisions she's made in her life, in which she uprooted her life many times to progress her career in commercial radio, moving to new locations and resetting her social circle with each move, and when it comes to personal relationships past their use-by date, Louise describes the feeling of being that frog in the boiling pot.  Andy explores the choices he made with relation to his family, and how his choice to shake up the nature of those relationships came at the end of repeated behavioural patterns and expectations that existed well before he lost either of his parents. Having declared “I'm done” he now contemplates a life in which those people are absent either through death, or an inability to renegotiate family structure and boundaries.  Scientia Professor, Joe Forgas, from the University of New South Wales joins the voices of Cognitive Neuropsychologist at the Brain and Mind Centre at the University of Sydney Muireann Irish, author and coach Teisha Rose, Director of The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use Maree Teesson and best selling Australian small business author Andrew Griffiths. Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.au Support us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmind Reframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

We all want personal growth, right? But knowing what's needed to improve and develop isn't always easy.Maybe life is starting to feel a bit robotic, and as much as you know doing something new could be good for you, trying out new things comes with its own risks. Add anxiety or depression to the mix, and it can feel even harder to find the self-motivation to get out of our comfort zone. Maybe it's less about anxiety or depression and you just want to improve your performance, because looking after our mental health isn't always about addressing mental illness.The psychology around the reasons for pushing ourselves beyond our limits is well documented and highly observable in the field of endurance sports. Even if you're not “sports minded” the science is there for everyone to benefit from in all kinds of environments. So, what is your comfort zone? How do you approach your goals, large or small?Without engaging with cliches like “just pushing through to the next level” which if approached the wrong way, could just lead to burnout, the lessons New Zealand Ultra Marathon Runner, Lisa Tamati, has learned and applied from her own experiences are lessons for us all in backing yourself and pushing beyond what we or anyone else might think is possible.Lisa has run over 140 ultra-marathons, won a string of National Titles and a number of podium places in international events, and if you think she's just going to be one of those brassy motivational sporting types who's full of their hype, you couldn't be further from the truth. Lisa shares her story with Louise and Andy in this episode of Reframe of mind to show that through discomfort, we can truly grow.tUuCLNqohnHb8dEBBEPy Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reframe-of-mind.

What motivates change? Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, is quoted as saying "change is the only constant in life" but we don't want to get too hoity toity with academic quotes... suffice to say change does seem to be the thing we still fear the most from day to day. Sometimes it's drastic, sometimes it's simply unexpected, both of which are examples of the types of change that are forced upon us. But what if you're in a situation you know doesn't serve you any more? You know you need to change, yet you keep on keeping on, hoping things will just get better. Before long you're asking “how do you motivate yourself to change?"The decisions we make inevitably affect our relationship with others and what motivates people to change varies. Do we always wait until we've just had enough, or can we move towards something new in a proactive way, instead of running away from something? Do we have to wait until we hit the 'I'm f**king done' moment before we act?Motivation to change your life is coupled with motivating ourselves to change our behaviour. Choosing change, instead of letting change choose us takes courage, but is also one of the most liberating things we can do for ourselves.So, what's the best way to self motivate? Louise and Andy chat about their experiences making change in their lives along with helpful insights from leading scientists and psychologists.We take an honest look at some of our personal experiences, with the help of some expert guests, to uncover if we've ever really made a deliberate choice to change or if the motivations for change have more often come from a place of 'I just can't do this anymore'.We'll also discuss what changes you can make in your life now that will help you later on down the road and find out just how important it is for us to know our own motivations so that when change is forced upon us—like when someone dies or we lose a job—we're ready for it.This episode features advice and commentary from Professor Leeanne Carey, world leading Australian neuroscientist in occupational therapy and stroke rehabilitation and recovery research at the Florey Institute; Associate Professor Kimberley Norris, School of Psychological Sciences, University of Tasmania; Professor Maree Teesson AC, Director of The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use; Daphne Kapetas, CEO, Founder & Chemist of La Joie Skin; Sally Goldner AM, Diversity Trans re-lator, speaker and educator; And 2021 NSW Young Australian of the Year Nathan Parker.For show notes, transcript and further resources, check out: www.reframeofmind.com.auSupport us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmindReframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

Mindset. It's starting to sound like a buzzword now, right? With catchy book titles promising you'll change your life if you change your thinking and any number of people out there making inspirational posts about just changing your mindset makes it all sound kind of like the platitudes of toxic positivity in the end.But what if what you feel like is a negative mindset had a rational purpose for its existence? What if we looked just a little bit deeper than the conversations around psychology and looked at observable brain structure to understand how our brain does what it does to evolve from repetitive negative states to really change our mind?In this episode, we look at the science of changing your thinking with some of Australia's leading women in STEM.World leading Australian neuroscientist, Professor Leeanne Carey, has dedicated her career to occupational therapy, stroke rehabilitation and recovery research and helps us to understand how the brain recovers from the trauma of stroke, re-learning through specific pathways. ProfessorMuireann Irish is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney, and has observed brain function with a particular focus on dementia, uncovering all kinds of interesting facts about how we remember, through her research.Dr Lisa Saulsman, Senior Lecturer and Deputy Clinical Director with the School of Psychological Science at University of Western Australia, brings her expertise in the field of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT )to complement the neuroscience.Associate Professor Kimberley Norris, Head of Discipline and Director of Post Graduate Programs for the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Tasmania completes the picture with her expansive knowledge in adaptation and change.If you're ready to ask questions, these women have answers to help us all on life's journey.Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.au Support us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmind Reframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

We've all heard the cliche “the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward”, but when the risk doesn't work out, are there still rewards to be found? It's inevitable in life that we are going to be faced with having to decide to take a risk or not, whether it's taking a risk in love, in our career, achieving a goal, moving to a new city or starting a business for example.But is there a difference between real risk and perceived risk? And how does the perception of risk affect our mental health?In this episode of Reframe of Mind, podcast hosts Louise Poole & Andy Le Roy explore those uncomfortable feelings of stepping outside your comfort zone and share personal experiences from matters of the heart, to leaving jobs with no plan in place, to starting a business, and look at both the perceived risk of those choices, like humiliation and failure, and the real risks like physical threats and financial loss. They are joined by Psychologist and Associate Professor Kimberley Norris, University of Tasmania, who tells us about the importance of risk in maintaining happiness and Scientia Professor Joe Forgas AM, University of NSW, who shares some observations on our ability to forecast future emotions.We also hear from New Zealand Explorer Brando Yelavich who speaks on why taking a risk is important, Former South Australian tactical police officer Derek McManus who explains how risk is managed, and ask Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM and 2021 Queensland Australian of the Year if the risk he took in backing himself, pursuing a career in medicine, and becoming Queensland's first quadriplegic doctor was worth it.Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.au Support us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmind Reframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

Love an adventure? Ever felt like you just needed to disconnect from the noise of the world and be with yourself to make sense of everything?Brando Yelavich did exactly that when he was nineteen years old, resulting in him being the first person to walk around the coastline of New Zealand, but it wasn't without risk and also nearly ended his life.Since that first adventure, he has cycled the width of Australia, kayaked around Vancouver Island (look it up, it's massive!) and crossed the polar icecap in Greenland, amongst other wild adventures.Brando chats to us about his adventures, what he has learned, and gave us a new perspective on ADHD, describing how he has learned to appreciate and use it to achieve his goals.

It's almost like the term itself has fallen into buzz word territory, but our core values are what run us, whether we know it or not. When was the last time you looked at your values, if ever? Mindfulness coach, Annie Harvey was 50 years old when she was asked that question and had never considered the question, but has unlocked so much more of her potential since understanding what her values are. She even had the nerve to set Louise and Andy some homework, but luckily they love a quiz!In this episode, Andy and Louise talk through their own journey with exploring core values, and we also hear from Annie Harvey, Dinesh Palipana and Andrew Griffiths on just how important identifying your values is.

How does choosing to make yourself the most expensive in your profession fit into the mental health landscape?At this point in their mental health journey, Louise and Andy talk to Andrew Griffiths about his book “Someone Has To Be The Most Expensive, Why Not Make It You?” and discover this proposition involves more than a renegade approach of “I'll just charge what I want”. It involves a much deeper exploration of who we are and what's important to us.Are we really prepared to put in what it takes to become the next ‘overnight millionaire' or would a more modest goal that doesn't take away from our lifestyle be a better choice?Andrew talks about his journey to business and entrepreneurial success, including the incidents and choices earlier in life that helped shape him into Australia's #1 best-selling small business author.Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.auSupport us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmindReframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

How important are other people's opinions to you? Seeking advice and support is one thing, but sometimes placing too much value on someone else's opinion can have the opposite effect and limit us instead. It's easy to become sensitive to or obsessed with what other people think, and worrying about it is something that can be hard to stop once that train has left the station.Keeping ourselves mentally durable or tough helps bring the stability we need to meet our goals, so taking a lead from people who have tapped into this mindset seems like a great place to start.In this episode, Andy and Louise deconstruct some old beliefs they once held, busting the impact of other people's opinions as the draw from the perspective of guests who have overcome extreme events, and others who have used this mindset to their advantage in other, more common contexts.Why is Louise not fond of straws, and how accomplished did Andy become at playing saxophone?The mental health journey isn't always traumatic, but if there's trauma to be unpacked, you know they'll go there.Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.auSupport us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmindReframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

Has anyone ever told you to ‘just think positive'? That's toxic positivity talking, and it invalidates another person's emotions and their lived reality.Especially if they live with a chronic illness. Teisha Rose was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 22 and has been living with chronic illness for decades. Podcast hosts, Louise & Andy have been discussing the concept of reframing our experiences to help get through difficult situations in recent episodes of Reframe of Mind, but no amount of reframing will cure Teisha's MS. So how does a change in perspective play a part when dealing with chronic illness?And how do you look after your mental health when you live with an illness like MS? Teisha's diagnosis at 22 sent her life in a completely different direction than she had planned.Initially, her life became dominated by her illness, as she was experiencing aggressive relapses and a medical roundabout of hospital stays and rehabilitation. Teisha became frustrated by how her life had changed. She feared for her future and knew something had to change. Now, Teisha believes that even when life is interrupted by an illness, you can still enjoy now and look forward to your future with excitement.So, how did she change from being fearful about her future to being excited about it? Decades on, and still living with MS, Teisha is an accomplished author (Lives Interrupted), coach, and creator of Hurdle2Hope – a framework that represents the stages she has navigated through since her first life changing diagnosis - and she now teaches others how to apply that knowledge to their own hurdles to improve their mental health. Louise & Andy recorded the initial interview with Teisha in late 2021. Since the recording, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently applying the Hurdle2Hope framework that she wrote in response to her journey with Multiple Sclerosis, to her ongoing journey with breast cancer. They recorded a second interview with her March 2022, 6 weeks after her diagnosis, about her new hurdle, breast cancer, and her mental health journey in the face of that second life changing diagnosis, that is a part of her current everyday reality.

Have you ever felt motivated to Google “am I addicted to alcohol?” or “am I Addicted to sugar?”Addictions come in all shapes and forms, and it's generally the things like nicotine or hard drugs we think of that need to be kicked for good health, but what about if, through peer pressure when we were younger, or through some other coping mechanism, we've developed a habit over time that we need to change or break?Professor Maree Teesson AC from the Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use, has developed a range of resources to help with addiction and depression and had a long chat with Louise and Andy in the previous episode about mental health and substance use.In this episode, Andy and Louise unpack some of the points Maree highlighted, sharing some of their own experiences with addiction on their mental health journey as they navigated all the regular social norms young people face.Show notes, resources and transcript available at www.reframeofmind.com.auSupport us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmindReframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

It's one thing to be able to reframe a rainy day, but what if the issue is deeper than that? Could the research in drug and alcohol addictions be applied to other areas of mental health as well? It's a pretty common situation - Have a stressful day at work, reach for a glass of wine at night - but when does that 'solution' contribute to an even bigger problem, and are there techniques to treat the cause underneath it all, instead of using alcohol to self-soothe the symptoms?Alcohol consumption is very deeply entrenched in Australian culture, and for some, exposure starts at an early age. Having a drink is normalised behaviour associated with everyday social events, but substances like alcohol, drugs and even sugar can have greater negative impacts on our lives. Stepping away from these habits takes a different, focused approach, in which one size doesn't necessarily fit all.In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise and Andy's mental health journey includes a conversation with Professor Maree Teesson AC, Director of the Matilda Centre, to explore the nature of addiction, the research that is leading to techniques that help teenagers form a healthy relationship to alcohol consumption, and how some of these techniques might help us in combating other issues that challenge us on a mental level.---Professor Maree Teesson AC is Director of the Matilda Centre, Director of the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Prevention and Early Intervention in Mental Illness and Substance Use, and an NHMRC Leadership Fellow at the University of Sydney.  She is a Former National Mental Health Commissioner, an Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences Fellow, a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Social Sciences and is the Chair of Australia's Mental Health Think Tank. She was announced as a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2018 Honours List, awarded a Westpac/Australian Financial Review 100 Women of Influence for Innovation, and awarded an Australian Museum Eureka Prize as Outstanding Mentor of Young Researchers.Maree has made a major contribution to Australia's health and medical research effort in the field of mental health and substance use. In particular, she is known nationally and internationally for her research on the comorbidity between mental health and substance use disorders. The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use is a multidisciplinary research centre committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people affected by co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. It was established in 2018, and aims to generate innovative and workable solutions to address substance use and mental disorders, which are currently the leading global causes of burden and disease in young people.For the full show notes and transcript go to www.reframeofmind.com.auSupport us on our Patreon and unlock bonus content at www.patreon.com/reframeofmindReframe of Mind is a Welcome Change Media production.

When someone asks you how you are, do you tell them? Do they even want to know?  Probably not.   It's just one part of life's game of expectations and we keep playing along.  Our worth is often derived by the people and stuff around us. And we think that we are worthless if we don't offer other people value.  But what would happen if we chose to let go of playing by the expectations set by someone (or something) else and stopped measuring our value by their perception of what we can offer them?  It's more than one person's opinion. It's systemic and built into the fabric of society. Our self-worth is linked to our value. And when we tie our value to money, possessions, careers, relationships etc. That becomes our compass for success and decision making. Even as kids, we were taught, and then teach our own, that we need to make choices that will get us a good career and income and set us up for the future. And we learn, and continue, the pattern of making decisions to please others while ignoring our emotions and needs.  But we can break that pattern. We can make choices in accordance with our own values.  In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise and Andy share their personal experiences with letting go of other people's expectations and learning to make decisions in accordance with their own personal values; and discuss the concept of reframing our thoughts to better support our self-worth.   They also look at the ‘human durability' model with more from Derrick McManus, founder of the Australian Centre for Human Durability, speak to motivational speaker Chris Helder, about his ‘Useful Belief' philosophy, and how he was able to apply the technique to reframing his own loss of gigs at the start of the pandemic; and to mindfulness coach and ‘Still Effect' author Annie Harvey to get her practical tips on how to reframe our thoughts around situations that are out of our practical control. Episode Transcript available at ReframeOfMind.com.auFollow and talk to @reframeofmind onInstagram | Facebook | Pinterest | TiktokOr follow @welcomechangemedia on LinkedInLet's keep the conversation going.

We've all used the "someone's always got it worse off" bandaid of toxic positivity when something bad happens, and the buzz of recent times is around being resilient, but what if that paper cut was the last in a long chain of bad experiences that completely emptied our emotional bucket?Derrick McManus had a really bad day at work once. He was shot 14 times in 5 seconds and almost died. His recovery and re-entry to the same team is only a part of Derrick's story, which is one of durability and action well past the platitudes of "she'll be right".In this episode, Derrick shares his story and experiences to shift our perspective on the value of resilience.Episode Transcript available at ReframeOfMind.com.auLeave us your rating and let us know about your "imposter moments" by following @reframeofmind onInstagram | Facebook | Pinterest | TiktokOr follow @welcomechangemedia on LinkedInLet's keep the conversation going.

We've all either been through sustained high stress in the workplace or known someone who has, and when we're encouraged to bring "all of ourselves to work" it usually contains an unspoken parenthesis with the words "except that bit". So what happens when the stress becomes so unmanageable that we start to burn out?How accountable are workplaces for providing an environment that promotes good mental health, and where is the a boundary between workplace stressors and those that can too easily spill in from everyday life?In this episode Louise and Andy explore their own experiences with stress and burnout in the workplace with some food for thought from their guests Sally Goldner AM, Suzanne Mercier and Hugh Kearns while introducing new guests Jane Madden, Board Director at Black Dog Institute and Workplace Pattern Interruptor, Annie Harvey.Episode Transcript available at ReframeOfMind.com.auLeave us your rating and let us know about your "imposter moments" by following @reframeofmind onInstagram | Facebook | Pinterest | TiktokOr follow @welcomechangemedia on LinkedInLet's keep the conversation going.

Nobody wants to be known as the "token diversity hire", and rightly so.Diversity is about more than just filling a quota. It helps marginalised people be seen and add their voice to everyone else's.

So you've got that promotion. Congratulations! How long is it before that knot in your stomach starts to tighten, the lump in your throat starts to grow and you start to feel like you're out of your depth?Imposter syndrome isn't just a workplace phenomenon. There are all kinds of ways we can hold ourselves back from completing things. Maybe you're a self proclaimed perfectionist, or gold-standard procrastinator.

It strikes more people than you know, and it's been behind the demise of many a promising career.Imposter Syndrome was first recognised identified in 1978 by Dr. Pauline R. Clance and Dr. Suzanne A.

We might be our own worst inner critic, so how many of our beliefs are based on fact?As Andy & Louise start a business at ‘middle age', in a pandemic, from separate cities, communicating remotely, with bootstrapped start-up funds, no plan B or physical product to sell, it's no surprise doubt crept in.Can we really expect to succeed later in life? Would people want to listen to us working on our own mental health, sharing our insights? Could we find a common thread in diverse voices?How about subverting the patriarchy, making content for people outside of mainstream targets? We had big ideas and big self-doubt to challenge.In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise & Andy chat to experts on their business journey. But make no mistake, this ISN'T an episode about business, but challenging and overcoming the limiting beliefs that hold us back from giving our dreams a go.Professor of Entrepreneurship, Alex Maritz, from La Trobe University shares the truth about senior-preneurs and late transitions to self-employment and busts the belief that ‘old dogs can't learn new tricks'.And Female Economy expert Jacinta Carboon, who has been instrumental in the fight for gender equality in corporate Australia for decades, tells us just how important and undervalued the female economy is.Episode Transcript available at ReframeOfMind.com.auLet's keep the conversation going.

But what about that other tribe, the one we refer to as family?
