SUMMARY:Loneliness Is a Societal Problem -- Not a Personal Failure
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness Is a Societal Problem — Not a Personal Failure\nWe are more connected than ever\, yet more people than ever feel unseen.\nLoneliness is rising across generations — not because people are failing\, but\nbecause something in how we live\, work and relate has shifted. Too often\,\nloneliness is treated as something personal to fix quietly. At Cuppa\, we\nbelieve it’s something we face together. \nThis is the first Cuppa Movement Circle — a live\, virtual gathering designed\nto explore loneliness as a societal issue rather than a private flaw. It’s not\na webinar and it’s not a panel. It’s a structured\, facilitated conversation\nwhere diverse perspectives meet and the wider community is part of the\ndialogue. \nTogether\, we’ll explore what’s driving modern disconnection\, where loneliness\nis showing up in everyday life\, and what responsibility we share in responding\nto it. This is not about asking anyone to declare vulnerability. It’s about\ncreating understanding\, reducing stigma\, and identifying practical steps\nforward. \nThis conversation will be guided by members of the Cuppa Collective:\n Mike Morrison\nchallenges us to see loneliness through a structural lens\, encouraging a shift\nfrom individual blame to shared responsibility.\n Dr Jane Foster\noffers an evidence-informed perspective on wellbeing and human behaviour\,\ngrounding the discussion in research while keeping it practical.\n Annie Harvey\nadds depth in leadership and emotional awareness\, exploring how intentional\nconnection starts with how we show up for one another.\n Rev Jon Owen leads\nwith lived experience from the frontline of community life. As Pastor and CEO\nof Wayside Chapel in Sydney — a place committed to ‘no us and them’ — Jon’s\nwork centres on creating spaces where people feel seen\, accepted and truly\nmet. His voice reminds us why belonging matters and what it looks like in\npractice. \nYou’ll leave with greater clarity\, new perspectives\, and one meaningful action\nyou can take — in your workplace\, your community\, or your own relationships. \nLoneliness cannot be solved alone. But it can be softened when we approach it\nwith honesty\, curiosity and care. \nIf this conversation resonates\, we invite you to take your seat in the circle.\nJoin us live and be part of turning awareness into action. \nWant to pick the brains of our panel?

SUMMARY:Why Workplace Culture Breaks Under Pressure and How to Fix It with  Luke Evans
DESCRIPTION:Why Workplace Culture Breaks Under Pressure and How to Fix It\nIn this episode of Pick My Brain\, we sit down with Luke Evans to explore what\nit really takes to build resilient cultures that hold under pressure. \nMany organisations invest heavily in values\, engagement programs\, and\nwellbeing initiatives. Yet when pressure rises\, deadlines tighten\, or\nuncertainty hits\, behaviours shift and culture can quickly fracture. So why\ndoes this happen\, and what can leaders do differently? \nDrawing on nearly 20 years of experience working inside complex organisations\,\nLuke connects resilience and culture through a simple but powerful lens:\nbelief\, biology\, and behaviour. He shares why behaviour under pressure is\ndriven less by intention and more by how regulated and clear people are. When\nstress overrides regulation\, even the best cultural aspirations can unravel. \nThis conversation challenges the idea that wellbeing is a standalone\ninitiative. Instead\, Luke reframes wellbeing as an outcome shaped by\nleadership behaviour\, aligned systems\, and clarity of purpose. Together\, we\nexplore how resilience is not a personality trait but a capability that can be\ndeliberately built at both an individual and team level. \nSenior leaders\, founders\, and HR and people professionals will gain practical\ninsight into how to strengthen culture so it stabilises performance during\nchange rather than collapsing under it. \nKey takeaways include why regulation and emotional capability sit at the\nfoundation of sustainable culture\, why perks alone cannot drive wellbeing\, and\na clear framework for building resilience so culture holds when it is tested. \nBecause real impact is not created when things are easy. It is revealed when\nthey are hard. \nWant to pick the brain of Luke Evans? Click\nhere\n\nWatch here: https://www.youtube.com/live/6Dg2B9z7bL8?si=WlTByu89DAEYKjaJ

SUMMARY:Why Climate Action Fails Without Understanding Human Psychology with Emily Toner
DESCRIPTION:Why Climate Action Fails Without Understanding Human Psychology\nWhat if the greatest barrier to climate action isn’t technology or policy but\nthe human mind? \nIn this thought-provoking episode of Pick My Brain\, we speak with clinical\npsychologist Emily Toner about the hidden psychological forces shaping our\nresponse to the climate crisis. While innovation in renewable energy and\npolicy reform are critical\, Emily argues that a deeper challenge sits beneath\nit all: the emotional toll of living in an era of compounding crises. \nFrom climate grief and activist burnout to the quiet numbness many people feel\nwhen faced with overwhelming information\, stress and fear can push individuals\nand communities into what Emily calls “contractive states.” In these states\,\nour thinking narrows\, creativity diminishes\, and our capacity to act shrinks\nprecisely when bold ideas and collective action are needed most. \nDrawing on her work as a clinical psychologist\, along with insights from\nbehavioural neuroscience and wellbeing science\, Emily reframes the climate\nconversation through a powerful psychological lens. Referencing leading\nthinkers such as Antonio Damasio and Barbara Fredrickson\, she explores how\nemotions shape decision-making and why cultivating positive emotional states\ncan expand our ability to think strategically\, collaborate\, and take\nmeaningful action. \nThis conversation is especially relevant for social and environmental\nchangemakers\, purpose-driven leaders\, and anyone feeling the emotional weight\nof today’s global challenges. It offers practical and hopeful insights for\nnavigating overwhelm while staying engaged with the work that matters. \nTogether\, we explore how tending to our inner world is not a distraction from\nsolving global problems but a foundation for courageous\, creative\, and\nsustained action. \nKey takeaways include: \n\nWhy our ability to process emotions profoundly shapes individual and societal behaviour\nHow stress\, fear\, and burnout quietly narrow our thinking and limit our capacity to act\nWhy wellbeing\, joy\, and nervous system regulation are strategic tools for unlocking creativity\, resilience\, and meaningful change\n\nAt Cuppa\, we believe powerful conversations spark impact and this one invites\nus to rethink how human psychology shapes our collective future.\nWant to pick the brain of Emily Toner?
