S4 E2 - ’The Laughter Effect’ with Ros Ben-Moshe
Our guest today on Moments of Clarity is Ros Ben-Moshe. Ros is a Laughter, Wellbeing and Positivity author, academic and practitioner. She is Adjunct lecturer at the School of Public Health and Psychology at La Trobe University where she coordinates the Laughter, Resilience and Wellbeing online short course for professionals. Ros is author of The Laughter Effect – How to Build Joy, Resilience and Positivity in Your Life (2023) and “Laughing at cancer – How to Heal with Love, Laughter and Mindfulness”. Often called on for expert opinion in mainstream media, she has also written for publications including The Canberra Times, Huffington Post and Wellbeing magazine. In today's conversation we discuss Ros's new book "The Laughter Effect" and many of the lessons Ros has learnt about laughter over the years. We hear about Ros' early life, career and the various pathways she took to get to the point she is at today. Ros talks about her cancer diagnosis and first hearing about Laughter Yoga, how we can work to reframe our situations, being grateful and how you do not have to be funny to laugh. It was a fantastic chat and we know you will learn a lot from it. Thank you so much for listening to Moments of Clarity. Remember to subscribe, review and share episodes with your friends and family.

S3 E16 - ’Bolsonaro, Brazil and the New Heirachies of Social Media’ with Alex Fleck
Today's guest on Moments of Clarity is Alexandre Fleck Soares Brandao (Alex Fleck). Alex moved to Australia in 2018 to pursue a PhD at UNSW Sydney under the Scientia Scholarship Program. His research focuses on how social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have reshaped the way social movements pursue legal change. He has previously taught at UNSW Law, but is currently in the last stages of finishing his thesis. Alex is originally from Brazil, but has lived in different places. As a child he briefly lived in Southern California and as a young adult moved to the Basque Country, Spain, where he completed his Masters degree in Sociology of Law. Alex lives in Sydney, New South Wales with his partner Michele whom he met while protesting at the Federal Law School in his hometown of Porto Alegre, Brazil. They were both law students at the time and were occupying the building in a struggle against illegal changes to the faculty and fell in love. Alex's strong interest and knowledge in law, social media, and politics shines through in this conversation. He is articulate and values-driven yet demonstrates how important it is to understand the nuances and perspectives on various issues. Matt, Toby and Alex discuss: Social media and it's impact on activism, politics and society. Whether social media has democratised power or created a new paradigm of power. The difference between amateur and professional activists and how it leads to repression.
