  • 195 – Book Club – The Comfort Crisis
    2026/09/24
    In this episode I'm unpacking Michael Easter's The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self — his argument that modern life has engineered discomfort out of almost everything, and what that's quietly costing us physically and mentally. I'm looking at it through an occupational therapy lens, and through my own experience with outdoor challenge and off-grid time. Topics covered: Scarcity vs. abundance — why brains built for scarcity struggle with modern excess of food, choice and stimulation Comfort creep — how yesterday's comfort becomes today's baseline, and the tension between removing barriers (OT's job) and removing all friction (not the same thing) Boredom as a "desire for desires" rather than a problem to eliminate, and what constant stimulation costs us Sensory desensitization — the modern noise load and what it does to stress and cognition Novelty and lifelong learning — and the direct link to OT's own Well Elderly Study evidence Misogi — Easter's 50%-chance-of-failure challenge practice, and how it maps onto the "just-right challenge" already central to OT Book: The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self by Michael Easterhttps://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Crisis-Embrace-Discomfort-Reclaim/dp/0593138767 The next book club episode will be about Rutger Bregman's Human Kind: A hopeful History.

  • 194 – Self Reflection on my Personal Development Project
    2026/09/06
    In this episode, I reflect on the first month of a new self-development routine built around getting up earlier, journalling, habit tracking and taking a bit more time to reflect. I talk about what I’ve been trying and what I’ve noticed so far. Development shows benefits I’m starting to see, and I’m still figuring out a few things along the way. Nothing revolutionary — just an honest check-in on one month of trying to be a little more intentional with how I start my days. Development guides my view of personal growth and daily progress.

    In this episode of Occupied, Jess sits down with Adam Lo OAM to explore an inspiring career spanning clinical practice, leadership, advocacy, and the arts. Adam shares his experiences working in Child and Youth Mental Health Services (CYMHS) and discusses the unique role occupational therapists play in supporting children, young people, and their families.
