Melanie Bracewell has, and she joins us in the Vulnerabilitea House to answer the question, ‘who do you go to advice for? Why?’ (spoiler: it’s not her puppeteer ex-boyfriend).

Unpacking the disarming realisation that all of our parents were once our age, Mel talks to the guys about making useful mistakes in your twenties, finding a litmus for what loves looks and feels like, and how to make friends with people as an adult (who aren’t already on your netball team).

Mel bonds with Hugh about the realities of an ADHD brain and the fallacy of thinking you are super organised for something, and most importantly, the burst of self-compassion that can come from a diagnosis.

Mel, we’ll be your side-by-side friend.

We’re all imperfect. On this podcast, founder of The Resilience Project Hugh van Cuylenburg, his good friend Ryan Shelton, and only one of their brothers, Josh van Cuylenburg, talks to a variety of interesting people who vulnerably share their own struggles and imperfections, or expertly pass on their wisdom on the subject of imperfection. Whether it’s in The Vulnerabilitea House, The Academy of Imperfection, or with our very own psychologist, Dr Emily, The Imperfects are here to find some valuable takeaways we can all apply to our own imperfect lives.

Interesting people, allowing themselves to be vulnerable, sharing with us, their imperfect lives.

Melanie Bracewell - Untangling a Toxic Relationship

We’re nervous. We’re excited. We’re nervous and excited. Because it’s Mary freaking Fowler day.

🎟️ Our live show Together Again is on sale now! Tickets here - https://bit.ly/4mEK9Ep

Joining us in the Vulnerabilitea House, all the way from Manchester, Mary answers the question ‘what do you worry about the most?’

With wisdom far beyond her 22 years, Mary explains to Hugh, Ryan and Josh the impossible task of being the ‘perfect’ role model, especially when you are still growing up yourself.

And then, in a conversation that will help many, and maybe even save the life of a few, Mary graciously shares her experiences with self-harm, and why she thinks it is so important to have the heavy conversations, even with the risk of saying the wrong thing.

Mary talks about her journey with pressure and forgiveness that lead her to rediscover ‘Little Mary’, her wall of things that make her feel loved, and how she has been able to reframe her darkest times to find more empathy for others.

Mary, it was an absolute dream come true to speak with you.

0:00 – The 2023 Fairy tale 
6:52 – What do you worry about most? 
23:00 – Giving and taking power 
34:01 – Appreciating the little things 
41:01 – Saying the hard thing 
56:22 – Beauty after pain
1:04:29 – Am I supposed to be here? 
1:09:16 – Looking after Little Mary

Mary Fowler - Forgiving Yourself-Harm

Is your communication style a red flag?

🎟️ Our live show Together Again is on sale now! Tickets here - https://bit.ly/4mEK9Ep

It’s our favourite time of the month and Dr Emily Musgrove, our resident psychologist, is back in the studio to talk the talk (and walk the walk) about healthy communication.

The impact of our learning history (colloquially known as “baggage”) gets a heavy feature in this episode, as Ryan, Josh and Bridge unpack their communication styles, and how this has impacted their intimate relationships.

Dr Emily talks us through why the real challenge of communicating is not our use of language, but rather regulation of emotion, and gifts us a plethora of acronyms to practice at home the skills of effective communication.

Dr Em, always a pleasure.

Chapters:
0:00 – Communication, conflict, and Hannah Ferguson 
10:19 – How do you (mostly?) communicate? 
14:57 – The impact of our learning history 
22:10 – Interpersonal Effectiveness 
27:41 – Practicing getting it wrong to get it right 
31:59 – Do opposites attract? 
34:44 – Respond rather than react 
47:51 – We all love an acronym 
1:01:45 – Dealing with unreasonable people 
1:15:49 – Breaking patterns

Dr Emily - You Had Me At Communication

Jamila Rizvi has not been the perfect sick person.

🎟️ Our live show Together Again is on sale now! Tickets here - https://bit.ly/4mEK9Ep

When Jamila was last in our studio, she was deep in the grief stage.

Jamila’s life had been irrevocably changed by the imposition of a brain tumour, and the myriad of health complications due to surgery. To put it simply, Jamila didn’t know who Jamila was anymore, and that terrified her.

This week, in the Vulnerabilitea House, Jamila answers the questions “what aspects of your identity have you held onto for too long?”

The drip-fed loss of cognitive functions and a new hormone condition which made her constantly starving, Jamila felt like her body and mind were no longer her own. Speaking to Hugh, Josh, and Ryan really honestly, Jamila opens up about her eating disorder during this time; how it impacted her sense of self, her relationships, and ability to connect.

Jamila, it was a joy to have you back. We’re so proud of you.

Chapters:
0:00 – Where are they now? 
7:31 – What aspects of your identity have you held onto for too long? 
20:06 – Phases of identity 
25:24 – Impact of a brain tumour on a relationship 
29:52 – Constantly starving, craving thinness
36:51 – Intense, urgent desperation 
48:38 – Train your brain to love your body 
54:12 – Would you take it back? 
59:39 – Adrenal Crisis and Crisis of Self
