Osher Günsberg : When life feels overwhelming, how do I get my power back?

When life feels overwhelming, how do you get your power back? In this candid conversation, Jess asks Osher Günsberg this Big Question, and together they unpack the universal experience of feeling stuck, powerless, or consumed by challenges. From recognising overwhelm as the crucial first step, to the phrase “So what? Now what?” as a way forward, Osher shares how even the smallest actions can restore a sense of agency and clarity.

Drawing on his own journey through fame, sobriety, and mental health struggles, Osher opens up about the tools that have helped him, including Acceptance Commitment Therapy, embracing discomfort, and noticing emotions before they spiral. This is a conversation about finding strength in difficult moments, letting go of external validation, and learning how to shift from overwhelm into empowered action.
