The You Project

Superstar Psychologist, Jacqui Louder, is back and this time we discuss how and why we waste potential (and how not to), creating a good 'reality' in a bad situation, how fear can temporarily impact the skill level of athletes, the balance between supporting people and letting them 'fall down', why some people know what to do but still don't do it, and lots more.

Hi Kiddos. So, I had a chat with our resident Neuro-Psych (Dr. Hannah Korrel) and we decided to record a series of (brief) episodes, focusing on the human brain; the 3lb (1.3-1.4kg) super-computer residing in your skull. We all have one, but very few of us understand how it 'works'. We really tried to keep the jargon and scientific lingo to a minimum, and the understandability and informality to a maximum in these chats. We might call it 'edu-tainment'. Anyway, part one is a big-picture snapshot of the brain and its three core components. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Geek (much-loved Geek) is back and this time we talk about why most robots are 'female', the rise of quantum computing, Patrick's disdain for Elon Musk and Starlink, NASA's new 'Mars' experiment, BMW's new 'Mad Max-esque' electric scooter, the potential for government agencies to activate phone cameras and microphones for surveillance, the thumbs-up emoji being legally binding and plenty more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are hundreds of variables and factors which influence the likelihood of someone succeeding (or failing) and creating lasting change (or not). But there's one key reason why so many people don't achieve what they set out to.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You literally can't be anyone but yourself. Good or bad, happy. or sad, kind or mean, crying or laughing; it's always you. All the stuff you’ve done in your life… you were there for all of it. And while you can't change 'who' you are, you can change 'how' you are. This episode is me exploring some of the stupid thinking and advice that gets wheeled out as personal development, self-help and even, positive psychology. And potentially, a better plan than ‘be yourself’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes I'm a low-performer. The opposite of a high-performer. Not winning. Not doing great. Not in the zone. Not even a good attitude. Not all the time, sometimes. And that's okay. It makes me human. I recently sat down with Tiff (on Roll with the Punches) and we chatted about the unrealistic and unhealthy expectation (and pressure?) that exists in some groups and self-help echo chambers to be the perpetual high-performing, positive-talking, world-beating, personal-development Unicorn who never has a bad day, always wins, never gets sad or anxious and somehow lives in perpetual state of euphoria and success. Fuck that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tommy, Tiff and I discuss the idea (and practical process) of getting better as we get older.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Gillespie wandered back into TYP Central and this time we chatted about work-life balance, universal basic income, the pros and cons of retirement, means testing, eliminating poverty and the government printing money to offset debt!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is me banging on about the intersection of our internal and external worlds. Physical and non-physical. Seen and unseen. I don't often say this, but I think many of you will find this message helpful, relevant and maybe even, life-changing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Videographer extraordinaire and resident pretty boy, Tommy Jackett, is back at TYP for what definitely wasn't a high-brow exchange of philosophy, psychology and/or the meaning of life. It was however, two mates (and Tiff) having a fun discussion about the goings-on of our respective lives. vidpod.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
