#1845 Lily's Story - Lily Rychter

The You Project ·

2025/04/03

About thirty years ago, a new client called Lily showed up at my gym. She was (in her own words) obese, terrified (of me and the gym environment), embarrassed, insecure and desperate to re-invent herself. And she did. Reinvent herself, that is. With a suboptimal lifestyle (very sub), terrible eating habits, genetic challenges, zero fitness and no idea of what she was doing as her starting point, Lily lost over thirty kilos and made amazing fitness and strength gains in a relatively short period of

#1844 Stoicism: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Chaos - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/04/02

Hi Team, this episode I dive into something I think everyone should at least learn about (if not, practice): Stoicism. Not because it's trendy, or philosophical, or looks good on Insta but because it's practical, effective and bloody useful, even in 2025. Especially when life gets messy, unpredictable, or just plain difficult. I talk about what Stoicism actually is and isn't, where it came from, why it still matters today, and how you can use it in real life - not just as a theory, but as a legit

#1843 Q&A with Perry & Harps - Perry Venakis (PT2)

The You Project ·

2025/04/01

Perry Venakis (B.App.Sci, M. Nutr.) is back and the bald Greek and I go far and wide answering listener questions. BTW, we chatted forever... so it's a two-parter but I think most of you will really enjoy it.n90.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1841 The Hedonic Treadmill - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/30

In this solo episode, I unpack the sneaky psychological pattern known as the 'hedonic treadmill' - the reason we feel amazing when we hit a goal, and kinda flat not long after. We discuss why we keep chasing the next shiny thing. Why our wins wear off so fast. Why happiness doesn't keep up with our progress. Why and how our brains adapt to both the good and the bad. Why contentment often feels just out of reach, and - most importantly - what we can actually do about it all.This episode is part

#1840 Efficient Or Just Busy? - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/29

So much busy-ness, so little efficiency. Such a big investment of time, effort, energy and resources, such a poor return on that investment. So much potential, so little success. Ever had someone say "busy" when you ask them how they are? Me too. Ever had someone say "efficient". Me either. This is about that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1839 What if the Drug is You? - Harps & Tiff

The You Project ·

2025/03/28

Among other things, this episode is a chat about tricking your mind into believing something that isn't real, in order to create an outcome that is both amazing and real, with your body. The chat revolves around some fascinating research that was conducted over fifty years ago involving one significant lie, fifteen athletes, fake steroids (placebos), and some mind-blowing test results. I love this story. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1838 Building Resilience & Other Hard Things - Bobby...

The You Project ·

2025/03/27

Bobby is back and this time we talk about the difference between self-care and self-indulgence, the intersection of frustration and curiosity, whether we have beliefs or they have us, doing meaningful work, opinions about opinions, training for mental fitness, finding the right protocol (for each of us individually), resilience, doing scary sh*t and lots more.

#1837 Ozempic: Magic or Madness - David Gillespie

The You Project ·

2025/03/26

Of course Gillespo has written an article (on Substack) about the world's most controversial, talked-about and in-demand drug. So of course we chat about the magic product(?) that tells your brain you're full (so you eat less), slows down digestion (so you stay full longer) and lowers blood sugar levels (helps diabetics manage insulin). We should probably also mention the potential side-effects of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain and bloating, loss of appetite, fatigue, burping

#1836 The Inappropriate Bogan - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/25

Some people think I'm too blunt. Too direct. Too unsophisticated. Too bogan. Sometimes I agree with them. Some people resonate with my approach to personal development, human behaviour and the psychology of change and some don't. Of course. It's to be expected. And of course, I'm okay with that. I'm not trying to be all things to all people. In this brief solo episode, I chat about why I talk, write and teach the way I do. It's not a 'defence' but rather an insight into the rationale and reasoning

#1835 What's Your Sh*t Threshold? - Dr. Jodi Richardson

The You Project ·

2025/03/24

Mary wouldn't like this title. Shh.. don't tell her. Dr. Jodi returns for another laid-back conversation with her calming voice, comforting energy, beautiful vulnerability and super-smart mind. Apart from lots of other interesting things, you'll learn about your sh*t threshold. Enjoy.drjodirichardson.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1834 The Sleep Episode - Dr. Cam McDonald

The You Project ·

2025/03/23

This episode with Dr. Cam was my all-time favourite (with him) and it was f**king fascinating, broadly-relevant, enlightening and super practical. Having said that, it's a little sciencey in parts but I'm sure it'll resonate with the vast majority. If you struggle to sleep well, this is for you. Among other things, we talk about the impact of inadequate sleep (volume and/or quality) on cognitive function, mental health, hormones, immune function, recovery, sporting performance, energy levels, health

#1833 The Terror Of Stand-Up - Bobby Cappuccio

The You Project ·

2025/03/22

l've always loved comedy and wanted to give stand-up a try for years. Having said that, there are two key reasons I haven't and won't; (1) I'm too scared (2) I'm not funny enough. Bobby - who's clearly braver than me - has done it and survived to tell the tale, so l'll just live vicariously through him. Apart from comedy (and my cowardice), we also chat about the idea of 'getting ready to get ready' (a very common avoidance tactic), emotional contagions, resolving ambivalence and lots more.

#1832 Zero Gravity - Patrick Bonello

The You Project ·

2025/03/21

The band's back together talking tech and this time we discuss the physical impact of living in zero gravity for a long time (after SpaceX just retrieved the stranded Astronauts), a new Chinese EV that can be charged for a driving range of 400km in just five minutes, car companies that are reverting to using actual buttons, switches and knobs (instead of screens only), Deepfakes being used to scam unsuspecting oldies (Ron and Mary types), a wearable camera that helps blind people 'see', Patrick's

#1831 The Self-Help Messages I Hate - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/20

This is a follow on from yesterday's chat. Right now, it seems like we're in the middle of an internet avalanche of disempowering ideas, illogical concepts, pseudo-science, psycho-babble, misleading and magical thinking, masquerading as logic, science and research, and in this episode, I'm sharing some of my 'favourites' with you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1830 The Shadow Side Of Self-Help - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/19

The self-help industry promises transformation, happiness, and success through simple formulas, positive thinking, five-step plans and the occasional sunset, fluffy puppy and unicorn. Yet beneath this shimmering surface lies a troubling reality: much of what passes for "self-help" is a hodgepodge of feel-good platitudes, pseudoscience, magical thinking and oversimplified solutions that can do more harm than good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1829 Texting on the Crapper (& Other Habits of Mine)...

The You Project ·

2025/03/18

Dr. Bill's back and this time he almost scared me out of my toilet texting habit (I say 'almost'). According to the good Doc, in such scenarios the device in our hands has more germs on it than the device we're sitting on (yes, I said 'sitting'). Apart from our phones being home to a fascinating assortment of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms, we have nothing to worry about. Well, maybe the potential pooing and spewing extravaganza that can accompany the above mentioned germs

#1828 Psychology, Psychic Ability & Psychedelics -...

The You Project ·

2025/03/17

Once upon a time, Greg Riley was crowned Australia's most gifted Psychic (on national telly), which is kind of weird when you meet him because he doesn't seem 'woo-woo' at all. He's a regular ex-footy playing, suit-wearing, father-of-three, husband-of-one corporate bloke who has done 'readings' (of the psychic variety) for famous people (heads of state, royalty, entertainers) from all over the world. These days he's straddling the corporate, human behaviour, psychology, psychedelic and spiritual

#1826 Perfectionism - Dr. Lillian Nejad

The You Project ·

2025/03/15

Perfectionism (n.): the tendency to demand of others or of oneself an extremely high or even flawless level of performance, in excess of what is required by the situation. It is associated with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other mental health problems. *Our resident Clinical Psychologist Doctor Lillian is back and (no surprise) we unpack the psychology, sociology, physiology and practical consequences of perfectionism.
