🚨SPOILER ALERT FOR SUNDAY 20th OF JULY'S BROADCAST OF DWTS🚨 Osher's been a part of reality TV for a long time, but Dancing with the Stars made him do something he's never done before. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cam Walker isn't here to tell about 'one weird trick that will 10x your life.' He's not even trying to inspire you. But he does know firsthand what it's like to be lost in the depth of feelings of doom, and exactly what helped him slowly reach a place a bit more colourful. That's the basis for his new book ' Doom and Bloom: The case for creativity in a world hooked on panic.' In this chat, he tells Osher all about it, plus his learnings on being more creative, how creativity has been essential in his life, why a lot of self-help isn't actually helpful, how he navigates the common compulsion of social media, the secrets to a long-lasting relationship and why attention can be life or death.

If you feel like you're not living the kind of life you want, and if you feel like you're avoiding more than you're taking action to change that, then you might be what Dr Emily Musgrove calls 'stuck'. In this episode, Dr Emily, the clinical psychologist (regularly heard on 'The Imperfects' podcast') and author of the new book 'Unstuck: A Guide to Finding Your Way Forward to the Life You Want to Live' tackles this all too common feeling and shares simple ways to disarm the many things that paralyze us - from emotions, to stress, to the old stories that no longer serve us.

Or, what do you do when the effort you put in doesn't match the reception you expected to get back?

You might know actor Tim Pocock from his roles in Dance Academy or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Even as a child, he graced the Sydney Opera House starring in operas directed by Baz Lurhman. But that world of artistic expression was in stark contrast to the other world Tim was part of for so long - one of repression by conservative catholicism under Opus Dei - made all the worse as he began to realise who he truly was. In this chat, Tim reveals his experiences of shame, bullying and conversion therapy, as well as his journey toward healing, discovery and self-acceptance, and the ongoing work of undoing the trauma of the beliefs that kept him feeling trapped for so long. An inspiration for anyone who’s ever felt silenced or lived an inauthentic life, an insight into certain pockets of religious institutions and a vital plea for the parents of every LGBTIAQ+ child.

When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years. Instead, he wrote the book he wished he had during times when his mental health wasn’t doing well. It’s the kind of book one grabs when they’ve tried everything else but still feel stuck, or they’re trying to understand how someone they care about keeps going in circles, and things seem to be getting worse. It’s specifically written for people who aren’t used to asking for help or are concerned that asking for help might impact them negatively. To ensure the book is as powerful as possible, Osher worked with an eminent Australian psychologist to make sure all the messages and techniques are legitimate. Some of the content is quite complicated, so to make things easier to understand, he wanted to use illustrations. While Osher isn’t bad at sketching, he isn’t an artist. There was only one artist Osher wanted to work with, someone who could understand what he was trying to do and who would get the concepts he wanted to put on the page. That person is the legendary Campbell Walker aka @struthless69 , who joins us today. Pre-order “So What?
