In this Episode I am delighted to welcome Mr Hugh Van Cuylenburg. Hugh wears many hats as teacher, athlete, author and mental health and wellbeing advocate but is most famous for founding The Resilience Project and as host of the very popular Imperfects Podcast.
In this conversation Hugh discusses his personal journey and story behind the Resilience Project, which from humble beginnings has now reached over 900 schools Australia wide. We discuss his work and the framework for the project surrounding the GEM principles of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. Hugh shares his experience and perspective and common themes and threads emerge for regular listeners here. We discuss the great strength in vulnerability, power of connection and importance of evidence based practice and collaboration in making positive cultural and systemic change.
As an enthusiastic amateur podcast host and huge fan of the Imperfects Podcast, which Hugh co-hosts with renowned comedian, actor and media personality Ryan Shelton, I indulge my personal passion for the power of podcasting to educate, encourage question, inspire and promote connection through shared experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and look forward to seeing The Resilience Project continue to grow and reach many more in our communities.

Coaching for Doctors with Executive Coach and Psychologist Sharee Johnson
Welcome back to Season 2. I'm delighted to open with an episode that weaves in and expands on many of the themes we discussed in the Season 1. Introducing the rather wonderful Sharee Johnson who is a leading coach of doctors here in Australia. Sharee combines her unique skill set and background in psychology, coaching and mindfulness to help doctors and health care professionals perform optimally maintaining good health and personal wellbeing not only in their clinical environments but in their lives as a whole. Her powerful personal experiences have shaped her vocation and career trajectory as she transitioned from patient advocate to also doctor advocate.
In this episode we discuss the relationships and distinctions between coaching, mentoring and counselling. We delve into the specifics of coaching for doctors asking why, when, where and how. We explore Sharee's coaching work with individuals and groups and the Recalibrate programme. Themes of doctor health and wellbeing and the prevention of burnout are revisited from her coaching perspective. You certainly don't need to be a doctor to find something of value in this conversation.
addendum: At 1.07.18 in this conversation we accidentally refer to coaching when the intention was to reference counselling.

Dr Yumiko Kadota, Doctor and Author of "Emotional Female" on values, the power of lived experience and addressing toxic culture in Medicine.
In this Episode I am delighted to welcome Dr Yumiko Kadota to the podcast. Dr Kadota is a medical doctor with experience and training in plastic surgery, a lecturer and anatomy teacher to university undergraduates in Sydney, a yoga teacher, fitness instructor and most recently she added best selling author to her long list of accomplishments. In 2019 she wrote a blog post about her experiences of a toxic culture and inhumane rostering and workload in Sydney hospital as a plastic surgical trainee. She suffered from severe occupational burnout and subsequent clinical depression. In March 2021 she released her book and memoir "Emotional Female". In Emotional Female she describes her own experiences of mental health issues, racism, bullying, misogyny and sexual harassment during medical training.
In this conversation we discuss her story, systemic failure and toxic culture in medicine. We revisit themes of occupational burnout, stigma surrounding mental illness amongst medical professionals and what it means to have good health and wellbeing.
We discuss the creative process of writing and the importance of creative outlet for Yumiko. As a fellow yoga teacher, we discuss the role yoga has played in her self development and continues to have in her daily life.
Ultimately I feel grateful we are able to have this conversation "on the other side" of her experiences and that she is well and able to find "santosha" ( contentment ) in the space she now finds herself.
