b"I've been pretty blown away by ALL our guests so far, but I\\u2019m truly in awe of this one. I am so grateful to have the legendary Osher G\\xfcnsberg (aka Andy G, Spidey, Batchie host, etc.) on the show to chat about his new book, Back, After the Break, the accompanying live show, and the heart wrenching story that both tell more candidly than most would expect.\\n\\nStarting with the more conventional story, there aren\\u2019t many Aussies who have had a more successful TV and radio career starting with Channel V, through to Australian Idol and now Australia's favourite The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. Osher also has an incredible podcast of his own, the Osher G\\xfcnsberg Podcast, lots of other highly sought after gigs, a family and now of course a book deal.\\n\\nBut what the book has revealed is the tumultuous battle with mental illness and addiction that lies under the effervescent and charismatic demeanour of Osher\\u2019s TV persona. From his name change, to rehab, to going plant-based, to becoming a father, it\\u2019s a moving and honest memoir that sheds light on the unfortunately still stigmatised issue of mental health and goes a long way to breaking that down. It\\u2019s an inspiring example though of how you can find your yay again and I'm so grateful to have had him share so openly and generously in this episode.\\n\\nIt's a little longer than usual and I could have gone for hours longer, but it's a ripper with lots of laughs, almost tears, dog woofs and cameo appearances from Nic too. I was so worried about doing his story justice and I hope it's gone some way to doing that and showing a VERY different perspective of seizing the yay....\\n\\n+ Show notes are available here\\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\\n+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!"
