We all know someone who could see no way out. We've all had that day when we hated ourselves. This is an essential conversation. Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the author of I Hate Myself. Recognised for his extensive work in the treatment of mood and personality disorders in adolescents, Blaise tackles the often-ignored issue of self-hatred, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short where self-hatred has become part of a person's identity. Former guests Melli O'Brien and Dr Abbie Maroño shared incredible stories of self-loathing. This conversation sounds heavy, but I can assure you, stay with me; this is a cracking conversation that we can all benefit from. Hear Dr Aguirre at https://shorturl.at/6BYpZ.

Many of us have been led to believe that resilience is about doing hard things. Getting uncomfortable. Putting on a ruck in the rain, having ice baths, tolerating Mother Nature's conditions and lifting heavy stuff. It is all those things, and at the same time, perhaps there's a more gentle approach to resilience. There's somebody in hospital right now who is in pain but bearing up. There's a company owner who's taken a hard knock but needs to stand in front of their team and keep them in the game. There's somebody who's gone through the heartbreak of a breakup, and they still need to front each morning for their children and then go to work, present in the boardroom, and do it all again tomorrow with a brave face. Resilience has many faces and I think that's what I like about Melli O'Brien. Melli wrote ‘Deep Resilience: A Four-Step Journey to Unshakable Inner Strength,’ giving us a step-by-step guide to navigating life’s challenges. The book is for those who might feel overwhelmed by life’s whirlwind pace, crave calm, and seek the strength to build confidence. In 2025, Mindful magazine named Melli one of the most powerful women in the mindfulness movement. Melli's journey has not been easy; she has experienced the loss of two family members and a divorce, and when she lost another family member while running a business, each blow took a toll on her, leading to physical and mental symptoms that resulted in chronic illness. However, this challenging period ultimately brought about significant insights for Melli.

"Best interview ever" listener comment. On the outside, we see a lawyer with the external trappings of success, the office, the suit, the watch, the car, the home and assume they have the perfect life. Right? But often, behind the armour, it's a different story. Hi I'm Judd Judd Shaw, lawyer/CEO of Judd Shaw Injury Law chased success as a lawyer and made it to the top of the hill only to discover its hollow rewards. Judd went to a really dark place. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of genuine human connections in our lives. He had it all going on from the outside, but under his armour, things were very dark, as you will hear. Judd's perspective on developing company culture is a master class on building something special.
