Cass sits down with Amelia Nagoski, who co-authored (with her identical twin sister, Emily Nagoski) the NYT bestselling book, "Burnout: The Secret to Solving Your Stress Cycle".

Russell Brand, Conspiracy Theories and Cognitive Biases

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/09/19

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

What do you do for fun?

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/09/05

We all know how important play is for children, but it's just as important for grown-ups! In the busyness of life, we consider hobbies to be trivial and time-wasting, and can find ourselves being weighed down by responsibility and losing our connection to what brings us joy. In this episode, Cass explains the benefits of prioritising play, how playfulness is as much an attitude as an activity, and shares some ideas that might help you reconnect with your own sense of fun and inspire you to make more

Crappy to Happy ·

This week, Cass is talking about Parasocial Relationships; that is the one-sided relationship between a media figure and a fan.

The Karma of Success with Liz Tran

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/07/24

Before starting her executive coaching company for CEO's and Founders, 'Reset', Liz Tran spent a decade in tech, most recently as the only female executive at a top venture capital firm. For most of her career, Liz Tran was sure that if people knew about her spiritual practices, they would never respect her as a business person. She worked in a world where numbers and spreadsheets were everything, so how could she admit that she believed in scientifically indefensible forces like the Tarot or feng

Baby Brain: is it real? with Dr Sarah McKay

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/07/10

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

Understanding Narcissism: the distinction between...

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/07/03

These days it seems like everyone is a Narcissist. The term 'narcissism' is a bit of a buzzword that is used to describe anyone who comes across as a little self absorbed, or 'full of themselves', but is that true? Is everyone a narcissist? And what is the distinction between a narcissist and the rest of us? In this episode, Cass breaks down: the DSM criteria for a diagnosis of Narcissism and how it is outdated the different presentations of Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism (or overt and

Tiny traumas with Dr Meg Arroll

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/06/26

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

How to shop for a psych

2023/06/05

Cass gets a lot of questions about accessing psychology services within Australia. It's not the most linear or straightforward of processes, between Medicare rebates, GP visits, and mental health plans... it can be quite confusing accessing the mental health services we need. Let alone knowing how do you find someone who is a good fit for you? So in this solo episode Cass answers all of these questions and more.

2023/05/22

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.

Debunking modern witchcraft and other new age...

Crappy to Happy ·

2023/05/15

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
