People pleasing, Pandemics, and the most wonderful love story you’ve heard in ages (w/Linda Marigliano)
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”.

...and this will be the last time that ever happens. Finding joy and meaning by deliberatedly thinking about losing everything
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.
