Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

12. Inside the Mind of OCD – Penny Moodie Gets Real About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder & Why It’s Really Not What You Think
Q: What would you say to someone listening who suspects they might have OCD or to a parent seeking guidance for their child?
Penny emphasizes that OCD is highly treatable, that symptoms can be managed with evidence-based therapies like ERP, and stresses that people are not defined by their thoughts; hope and support are available.
12. Inside the Mind of OCD – Penny Moodie Gets Real About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder & Why It’s Really Not What You Think
Q: Would you like to maybe start off by telling us a bit about your new podcast? How has that been for you?
Penny describes It's Not What You Think as a platform for authentic lived experiences with OCD, aiming to educate and connect with experts to paint a real, accurate picture of OCD.
13. Perimenopause: More Than Just Hormones - with Nat Kringoudis.
Q: What are the key tests for someone in perimenopause and can you test cortisol?
Testing is useful as a benchmark and should be done in context with symptoms; cortisol testing is best done over a 24-hour period to map daily fluctuations, while other hormone panels (FSH, LH, progesterone, oestrogen) can help when interpreted by an informed clinician. Importantly, tests should guide but not replace symptom-based assessments, and regular re-testing every 6–12 months helps track changes.
24. You Didn’t Just Snap – The Truth About Mum Rage with Lauren Novak
Q: Can you share a moment that stands out when you completely lost it?
There were many, but a vivid example involved waking up to a non-sleeping baby, losing control in the hallway, and feeling the loss of self-control so intensely that it stayed with the speaker while writing the book.
18. 36 Months — Why Australia Just Hit Pause on Teen Social Media
Q: What was the strategy behind the petition, and why did you choose that as a central tactic?
Greg explains petitions as a momentum builder and evidence of public sentiment, making it easy for people to participate and visible to policymakers.
