March 30 — National Doctors’ Day.
Today we recognise the dedication, compassion, and resilience of doctors and allied health professionals who show up every day to care for others, often in the most challenging moments of life.
Thank you for the long hours, the quiet sacrifices, and the commitment to putting patients first. Your work doesn’t go unnoticed.

In this episode, psychologist John Malouff explains why so many of us delay important decisions like writing a will or planning for end-of-life care, and what actually helps people move from avoidance to action. Because while death can feel confronting, the real impact lies in how prepared we are before it happens.

26/03/2026

John shares practical psychological insights into why procrastination happens, what motivates people to take action, and how even small prompts can help us move from avoidance to preparation. Because while death itself may be confronting, the real impact often comes from what happens before and after it.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW.
Catherine and John Malouff talk about why so many people delay writing a will, completing an advance care directive, or having conversations about their wishes. Often it isn’t about laziness or indifference. It’s fear, uncertainty, and the simple fact that we don’t see other people openly doing it.

Today we remember the millions of lives stolen, silenced, and forever changed by slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. This day is not only about history — it’s about honouring resilience, acknowledging truth, and committing to a future rooted in justice and equality. We carry their stories forward.

New Episode Tomorrow.
In this episode, Catherine speaks with John Malouff, psychologist and Associate Professor at the University of New England. John has spent much of his career researching procrastination, self-regulation, and the science of why people avoid the very tasks that could make their lives easier. And that includes one of the most important tasks many of us put off for far too long: end-of-life planning.

I’m honoured (and a little overwhelmed) to share that my story is featured in Issue 12 of That’s Life magazine, out this week.

The article — “My Whiplash Was More Sinister: Catherine’s Delayed Diagnosis Caused Life-Changing Damage” — shares the reality behind my diagnosis of Cauda Equina Syndrome following a car accident in 2019, and the moment everything changed.

What started as “just whiplash” became a life-altering turning point — one that brought chronic pain, disability, and a completely new way of living.

But it also led me here.

To creating Critical Info.
To helping others prepare, organise, and have the conversations that so often get left too late.
To making sure no one is left in the dark when it matters most.

I’m incredibly grateful to journalist Olive Clark for approaching this story with such care, respect, and integrity. Thank you for giving space to share not just what happened — but why it matters.

If you happen to pick up a copy this week, I’d love to hear your thoughts 💛

Nerodiversity Celebration Week aims to transform how neurodiversity is perceived by providing the opportunity to recognise the many skills and talents of neurodivergent individuals. Every mind works differently and that’s something to be supported, embraced, and uplifted. You deserve to feel seen, understood, and valued exactly as you are.

National Advance Care Planning Week is a reminder that some of the most important decisions we make are about the care we would want if we couldn’t speak for ourselves. Advance care planning helps ensure your values and wishes are known, respected, and documented — giving clarity to loved ones and healthcare teams when it matters most.

Together Linda and Catherine explore how loss doesn’t always come with clear endings, why many of the most difficult life changes go unrecognised by society, and how we can support both ourselves and others through these complex transitions.

19/03/2026

Linda’s professional expertise is deeply informed by her own life experiences, including being diagnosed with stage three cancer in her thirties while raising a young daughter. That journey, alongside supporting her mother through cancer at the same time, reshaped the way she understands resilience, identity, and what it means to rebuild life when everything changes.

Linda has spent more than 20 years supporting people through change, loss, and uncertainty. Her work focuses on something many people have experienced but rarely have words for: ambiguous loss.
