Gavin Oattes joins me for a brilliant chat about the messy bits of life, the funny bits, and the small moments that keep us going. He talks about his journey from comedy to teaching, and why playfulness shouldn’t disappear just because we’ve become adults with bills.

Gavin opens up about anxiety and how it shaped his book, Confidently Lost. We get into glimmers too, those tiny sparks of joy that can pull you back from the edge on a rough day. He shares a simple example of spotting one in the middle of a stressful morning, and how it shifted everything.

We talk about how success changes as you get older, the power of being fully present, and why your energy matters more than anything you say.

It’s honest, warm and full of reminders that vulnerability isn’t a weakness. If you’ve been feeling a bit lost lately, this one’s a good companion.
