#33 Osher Günsberg: TV presenter, storyteller, mental health advocate

This month on the podcast we’re hearing from TV presenter Osher Günsberg. Most well-known for telling other people’s stories—through his hosting gigs on The Bachelor and Australian Idol—Osher is now sharing his own life experiences, detailing what it’s like to live with mental illness in his raw and real book, Back After the Break. In this episode, recorded live for an event with our friends from The School of Life, Osher chats with Sian Prior on the theme of vulnerability—exploring social anxiety, why the first thing he does in the morning is write a gratitude list, and the importance of being his whole self in front of his family.If you or anyone you know needs support, or wants to learn more about anxiety and depression, please contact any of the following: Beyond Blue on 1300 22 46 36.
