In this episode of Better Than Yesterday, Osher revisits one of his most powerful conversations, with sole survivor of the 1997 Thredbo landslide, Stuart Diver. After 65 hours trapped beneath the rubble and enduring the loss of his wife Sally, Stuart has spent decades learning not just how to survive trauma, but how to build a meaningful life beyond it.
Stuart explores three practical tools he uses to protect his mental health and cultivate ongoing resilience, including exercise, deliberately creating and preserving positive memories before life changes, and why giving yourself permission to move forward isn't a betrayal of the people or experiences you've lost.
Whether you're navigating loss, supporting someone through a difficult time, or simply looking for better ways to care for your mental health, this conversation offers actionable strategies that can help you become just that little bit better than yesterday.
