Do Yourself a Favour

Daily Serve Nutrition's Jess Burvill - From Supermarkets to 171K Followers

Tam Callaghan sits down with her friend and accredited dietitian Jess Burvill, the person behind the wildly useful Instagram page Daily Serve Nutrition, to talk about how a career in advertising, a mid-life study pivot, and a clear no-judgment voice turned into one of Australia's fastest-growing nutrition accounts. 
Jess came to dietetics as a second career after years in advertising agencies, and it turns out those two worlds have more in common than you'd think. They cover how she applies advertising principles to nutrition content, why simple and useful always wins, what the growth from zero to 171,000 followers in 18 months actually looked like from the inside, and how she handles the less glamorous parts, including trolls, , From the supermarket job that helped shape her thesis focus, and what it takes to study full-time through COVID while working, to her current reality of success, opportunity and truly hard work. 
Warm, honest, and a lot of fun. 
In this episode: 
How advertising skills translate directly into social media content 
Why Daily Serve of Nutrition grew so fast and what Jess actually did differently 
The IDC posts and why the no-judgment approach resonates 
Studying dietetics part-time, then through COVID, while working 
The supermarket job that sparked her research direction 
Dealing with trolls and imposter syndrome at scale 
Brand partnerships, workload, and where it all might go next

You're Angry at You!

Tasha Broomhall from Blooming Minds returns to share the findings from her PhD research into how workers and leaders are experiencing Australia's psychosocial safety regulations, and the results are eye-opening. 
Leaders across organisations, including very senior ones in large companies, are either unaware of their obligations or aware but left with no clear pathway to meet them. Many are DIYing it on their own time, which creates its own risks. Mid-level managers in particular are being handed responsibility without the agency, resources, or support to actually deliver it, and Tasha's research found they are burning out as a result. 
Tasha and Tam cover what a genuine systems approach looks like versus a tick-box one, who should actually own psychosocial safety within an organisation, how to facilitate real cross-level dialogue, the silence problem around vulnerable workers, and some practical things leaders can do right now without waiting for organisational change. 
Honest, rigorous, and genuinely important for anyone who manages people or influences how workplaces are designed. 
In this episode: 
What Tasha's PhD research set out to find and what it revealed 
Why leaders are DIYing psychosocial safety and why that's a problem 
Who should own this, and why handing it to safety or HR alone doesn't work 
Building a cross-functional reference group that actually functions 
The mid-level manager squeeze: responsibility without authority 
Why vulnerable workers often can't report, and what organisations miss because of it 
NDAs, exit processes, and the ethical concerns Tasha raises 
Practical steps: the 10-minute check-in, device habits, and consultation pathway

All of you is welcome - How Acceptance Ends Inner Battles

What if the parts of yourself you most want to get rid of are actually trying to help you? In this episode, Tam Callaghan explores parts therapy and why resisting any part of yourself, whether it's striving, jealousy, impatience, or anxiety, makes it louder, not quieter. 
Drawing on her own experience with her striving part, and a conversation with a friend battling impatience, Tam makes a case for welcoming all parts of yourself rather than fighting them. It's the same principle as the previous episode on emotions, applied to the deeper, more persistent forces that drive how we behave. 
She shares the experts and resources that have helped her most, and sets herself some homework alongside you. 
A good companion episode to What You Resist Persists, but works as a standalone too.

Stephan Bodian - Infinite Awakening: The Pathless Path to Presence and Love

Tam Callaghan sits down with author, meditation teacher and former Zen monk Stephan Bodian to talk about his new book Infinite Awakening, a guide to non-dual wisdom for people walking what he calls the pathless path, those who have found their way to awakening outside of monasteries, ashrams, or formal traditions.
Stephen has spent decades as a psychotherapist and teacher at his School of Awakening, and this conversation draws on all of it. They cover why spiritual bypassing is so common and so hard to spot, the difference between awakening light and the real work, and what it actually means to rest and allow rather than push and achieve.
Tam shares how Stephen's welcoming emotions meditation and the four Rs (remember, recognise, return, rest) have already changed her daily experience, and Stephen walks through his 'is anything missing?' inquiry live in the conversation. One of the most grounded and genuinely useful conversations on meditation and awareness you'll find anywhere.
In this episode:
How Infinite Awakening came to be and who it's for
The pathless path and why it's valid without a monastery behind it
What spiritual bypassing actually looks like in practice
Why awakened people can still be angry, and what that really means
The four Rs and how to use them throughout the day
The 'is anything missing?' meditation, explained and experienced
How to share this kind of practice without coming across as an evangelist
What the School of Awakening offers and how it works

What You Resist Persists

What you resist persists. It's one of those lines that's easy to nod at and genuinely hard to live. In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets into why avoiding painful emotions doesn't make them go away, and what it actually looks like to stop fighting what's there. 
Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, her own experience with 4 a.m. fear spirals before training sessions, the work of Eckhart Tolle, and Rumi's Guesthouse poem, Tam walks through what shifted for her and how you can start applying the same ideas without having to overhaul your whole inner world overnight. 
She also shares the practical resources that have made the biggest difference, including Stephen Bodian's Welcoming Emotions meditation and a free month with the Waking Up app. 
Honest, personal, and genuinely useful.

Tammy Tansley - Can we be the L word at work?

What happens when a difficult situation at work gets avoided, passed around, or quietly buried? Tam Callaghan sits down with executive coach, mediator and author Tammy Tansley to talk about one of the most common and costly patterns in workplaces: the failure to address problems early. 
Tammy has spent decades being called in after things have already gone wrong. In this conversation, she and Tam get into why delay makes everything harder, what psychosocial safety actually looks like in practice, and why some of the people causing the most damage in organisations genuinely don't know they're doing it. 
They also cover neurodiversity and misinterpretation, the gap between workplace rhetoric and reality, what good early intervention looks like, and two practical rules that can make a real difference even if a full culture change feels out of reach. 
Honest, experienced, and genuinely useful for anyone who manages people or works in an organisation. 
 
In this episode: 
Why wrapping a difficult employee in a bow and passing them on never works 
The real cost of heartless leadership 
Psychosocial safety vs. the bottom line 
Long-term trauma from unaddressed workplace problems 
Why the 24-48 hour rule changes everything 
Tiny steps that actually move things forward

Are YOU successful? - Western Expectations vs Your Heart

Are you actually successful, or are you just measuring yourself against a standard someone else handed you? In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets into one of the most loaded words in the Western world and asks the question most of us are quietly afraid to sit with. 
Tam introduces Barbara, the name she's given to her ego, that grasping, never-satisfied inner voice that worries about how things look and whether she's keeping up. Drawing on her own experiences living in Peru, returning to one of Perth's wealthiest suburbs, and eventually leaving a high-powered Sydney career for a $2,000 Ford Laser, she makes a case for choosing heart success over grasping success. 
Funny, honest, and genuinely thought-provoking. 
Healing From Self-Abandonment
In this episode: 
Why advertising is designed to make you feel like you're lacking 
What living in Peru taught Tam about how much of our stress is environmental 
Status anxiety, social media, and the Sydney chapter 
What success actually looks like to Tam at 52 
The Dalai Lama story that sums it all up perfectly

Betty Ramsay & Helen Callanan - To make gentle the effect of death

In this episode Helen and Betty continue the conversation about end‑of‑life doulas: how they train, what the role actually looks like, and why continuity of care matters. They share deeply human stories of vigils, home deaths, palliative care, and supporting families through active dying and bereavement. 
The hosts also discuss practical details — training pathways, costs and funding, volunteer and paid options — plus the emotional skills that make this work transformative. (Note: there’s a friendly dog cameo and a brief camera battery hiccup on the YouTube video.)

Being Okay With No: Extended Version

What would change in your life if hearing "no" didn't scare you? In this episode, host Tam Callaghan shares one of the most powerful mindset tools she's picked up in nearly two decades of coaching, and gets refreshingly honest about the moment she realised she hadn't fully been living it herself. 
Tam revisits advice given to her by her Curtin University lecturer and renowned Perth therapist Peter Slocombe: just be okay with the no. Don't be attached to the outcome. It sounds simple, but the freedom it creates for you and for the other person is profound. 
Whether you're in sales, pitching ideas to your boss, asking someone on a date, or just trying to get through life without needing everyone's approval, this episode will hit home. Tam explores the difference between being committed to an outcome and being attached to it, why anxiety makes us focus on ourselves instead of others, and why being okay with no actually makes people far more likely to say yes. 
She also opens up about a recent realisation: she'd mastered the small no's but had been completely avoiding the big ones, especially when it came to needing people to like her. Raw, funny, and genuinely useful. 
In this episode: 
The advice that changed Tam's coaching career 17 years ago 
What "committed but not attached" actually means in practice 
Why we're all in sales, whether we like it or not 
The connection between people pleasing and fear of rejection 
Tam's honest confession about where she still struggles
