In this thought-provoking episode of The You Project, we challenge the conventional wisdom that "picking a side" is always the right move. What if the most insightful perspective comes from the fence itself? We explore why our culture pushes us to choose teams, how tribal thinking warps our perception, and why maintaining thoughtful neutrality might be an act of courage rather than indecision. Join me as we examine the hidden benefits of seeing both sides and discover how "fence sitting" could be the vantage point we need in an increasingly polarised world.

This episode with Tiff and Bobby was another unfiltered, unplanned, hold onto your seat, dive into the human experience. If you’re not partial to the freestyle ramble don’t listen to this.

Dr. Olivia Ong is a Melbourne-based rehabilitation and pain medicine physician, author and speaker whose personal story has profoundly shaped her career. In 2008, while working as a young doctor, Olivia was struck by a car in a hospital car park, sustaining a spinal cord injury that left her paraplegic. Told she may never walk again, she underwent years of rehabilitation, including treatment in the United States, eventually regaining the ability to walk and returning to medicine. Today, Olivia combines clinical expertise and lived experience to explore chronic pain, resilience, burnout, self-compassion and recovery. Her memoir, Back on My Feet, was published in 2026. This was interesting, inspiring and funny. Loved it.
