Do you have an "Upper Limit Problem"?

Cass explores the concept of being fully committed to goals while remaining unattached to the outcomes. She discusses the balance between giving your all and not letting the results define your self-worth. Through examples and personal insights, Cass emphasises the importance of understanding commitment, non-attachment, and the role of personal values in achieving true fulfilment. The conversation also touches on spiritual concepts of ego and essence, encouraging listeners to find peace in their journey towards their goals.and Takeaways  It's possible to want something deeply while not needing it for your self-worth. Your character and values should define you, not your achievements or failures. Understanding what you can control helps in managing expectations and reducing anxiety. Surrendering control can lead to greater peace and acceptance of outcomes. Ego often leads to attachment and competition, while essence connects us to a greater purpose. Finding joy in the journey can paradoxically lead to greater success.

In this solo episode, Cass shares one of the common reasons people struggle to make progress on the things they say that want to achieve.

Johann Hari began taking Ozempic in 2023, and subsequently spent 12 months traveling the world talking to experts about every aspect of the obesity crisis and the new weight loss medications which offer a solution to the millions of people who struggle to lose weight on their own. In his book, "Magic Pill", he details the extraordinary benefits of these new medications, as well as outlining 12 disturbing risks which we, as individuals and as a society need to be aware of because, like it or not, these drugs are here to stay. Johann discusses with Cass the damaging stigma around obesity, the problem with the 'willpower' argument when it comes to weight-loss, and the real cause of the problem which is a faulty food system. They talk about the body positive movement and the need to reduce weight stigma while also acknowledging health risks of obesity, the need for much stricter controls around access, and the risk of an increase in eating disorders.

The new weight loss drugs: Magic solution or magical illusion? with Johann Hari

In this solo episode, Cass discusses the fear of making the wrong decision and the desire for certainty. Cass emphasises the importance of taking action as a way of gaining clarity, as well as the importance of getting comfortable with uncertainty. She also explores the role of the body in decision-making and suggests practicing feeling into what feels right or wrong. Cass encourages listeners to trust themselves and know that they will be okay regardless of the decision they make. Takeaways  Fear of making the wrong decision often leads to analysis paralysis and indecision. Taking action, even if it's not the perfect decision, can provide clarity and feedback. Getting comfortable with uncertainty and accepting that there is no guarantee of making the right decision is key. Cultivating a sense of safety and trust within oneself is crucial for confident decision-making. Listening to the body and practicing feeling into what feels right or wrong can help in decision-making.

The Healing Power of Breathwork with Samantha Skelly

This week Cass talks with Dr Ann Kelley, licensed psychologist and co-host of the Therapist Uncensored podcast, about the importance of updating our understanding of attachment styles and the limitations of categorising ourselves and others. Ann proposes a more helpful approach of thinking about attachment as a spectrum. She introduces the idea of secure relating (as opposed to secure attachment), which involves understanding our own nervous system and how it impacts our interactions with others.  Ann introduces the Modern Attachment Regulation Spectrum, helpfully using colours to represent different states of arousal: red for hyperarousal, blue for hypoarousal, and green for secure relating. She shares how our nervous system naturally responds to threats and connection, emphasising the need for self-awareness and compassion in order to create happy, healthy relationships in every area of our lives. She provides practical strategies for warming up or cooling down our nervous system and emphasises the relevance of this in every area of life: friendships, intimate relationships, parenting, work relationships, and the broader community.

Cass chats with Victoria Vanstone, host of the Sober Awkward Podcast and creator of the Drunk Mummy Sober Mummy blog and website, about her decision to leave behind her partying days in order to be a happier, less anxious, more present parent by giving up alcohol. Vic admits she didn't like sober people and that she feared no-one would want to be around her anymore if she stopped being the life of every party. Vic has recently published her first book, "A Thousand Wasted Sundays" and shares how she felt she never had a choice but to drink alcohol, but after becoming a parent, she realised her social, binge drinking was taking more from her than it was giving. Vic's message is that you don't have to hit 'rock bottom' to question your relationship with alcohol. Better still, there are plenty of good times still to be had. She realises her habit was fueled by people pleasing and a lack of self-care, and she hopes her message will enable other women to see that they also have a choice when it comes to drinking.

Why do we believe the things we do? Why do we struggle to believe 'nice' people can do bad things? What leads someone to believe conspiracy theories?  In light of the accusations made against Russell Brand this week and his assertion that this is a plot by mainstream media to silence him, I'm unpacking the cognitive biases that influence people's willingness to believe certain information, the psychological needs we seek to satisfy by believing conspiracy theories and why it's so hard to change your beliefs once they're fixed.

Around 85% of women will become a mother and most agree that pregnancy and parenthood are experiences that profoundly change us physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. Sadly though, mothers, minds and brains are mostly absent from popular pregnancy books and social media posts unless of course there is a discussion about what can go terribly wrong: baby blues, postnatal depression and of course the dreaded baby brain. Today, Dr. Sarah joins Cass to chat about the upside of pregnancy and parenting on your brain. And research is very clear... Having a baby improves a mother's memory. It makes her smarter, more empathetic, intuitive, and socially savvy.  Dr. Sarah McKay is an Oxford University educated neuroscientist. She is one of Australia's most well-known brain science commentators and authors. She wrote The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, and recently she has turned her attention to baby brain. Her latest book is called Baby Brain, the Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds for the Better. In this episode we explore:  the amazing neurological shifts that happen when we care for babies how mental load and emotional labor of motherhood can impact attention and memory abilities the importance of considering women's health in medical research and the surge of interest in the neurobiology of pregnancy and menopause.   You can get yourself a copy of Dr Sarah McKay's books here.

Not all of us have experienced huge childhood trauma. We’ve not been neglected, or physically, emotionally, or sexually abused in our formative years, and even today, there may not be anything inherently wrong with our life. You likely have a roof over your heads, food in your belly, an incoming coming in; for which you feel like you should be grateful for... Yet there’s still a sense of not being entirely happy, feeling empty or anxious in some ways, and not feeling enough. If this is you, and even if it’s not, you are going to love today’s guest, Dr Meg Arroll. Meg is a Chartered psychologist in the UK, scientist and author of Tiny Traumas and in this episode they explore:   what is the difference between 'big T' and 'little T' trauma? examples of what a 'Tiny T' trauma can look like the cumulative effects of 'Tiny T' trauma and how they impact health outcomes the Triple A model and how it can help us with emotional eating  If you loved this episode, go back into the back catalogue to listen to Cass chat with Sarah Woodhouse here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ADHD, especially in adult women, has been a hot topic on social media of late... with questions being raised around its diagnosis being a current trend. Even more so, since the BBC Panorama program, released an expose on private clinics in the UK, misdiagnosing ADHD. So what is all the fuss about?

The past few years there’s been a focus on individuals, being called to start to recognise and unpack our privilege, and look at behaviours or actions that might be harmful to others. The new age world has come under fire for things like cultural appropriation, toxic positivity and victim blaming. But is it all bad? Does that mean we need to walk away from these new age spiritual practices altogether? Or is there a way we can do them that is in integrity and causes no harm? Today, we are joined by the incredible Don Martin. Don is the host of the Head on Fire podcast, and author of the book The Dabblers Guide to Witchcraft - a book that I’m really loving right now.  He’s also published two collections of poetry - the first is called The Playground and the most recent is called while i wait to be a god again Don is here to do a big debunking of modern witchcraft and share with us how to create spiritual practices and rituals that work for us, and cause no harm.

We hear, and are often sold, the idea that the only thing stopping us from success is that we give up too easily or early. But what if that isn't the case?

Do you often find yourself feeling like you've fluked your way to the success you've achieved? Do you feel like the rug may be pulled from under you at any time... that everyone is about to find out about the 'fraud' you really are?

In this episode, Cass is joined by Dami Im, who captured all of our hearts when she won The X-Factor Australia in 2013. Dami began her singing career playing to grandmas in Korean churches before her life was forever changed when she entered a singing competition on television with no expectation of winning. Since then, she's released a string of hit albums and singles, and she became Eurovision royalty on 2016, when she earned the highest score ever achieved by an Australian entry with her smash hit 'Sound of Silence.' Behind the scenes, Dami's creative was being stifled by the very people that were supposed to be helping her. Her story is one of sacrifice, determination and faith.
