RedCircle VERIFY_TOKEN_09a0d496-5098-4c6c-a6b6-b96f295bfddd -- Rendered At Sun, 05 Apr 2026 14:55:53 +0000 Your Listener https://redcircle.com/shows/your-listener en-AU All rights reserved. John Cuturilo John Cuturilo, the counsellor of Your Listener Counselling in Melbourne, Australia, is the host of the Your Listener podcast. Discussing psychological topics including mental health, critical thinking, and social matters, he presents unique insights. Rather than lecturing coercively on what to believe, filling his discussions with provocative language or quotes from famous people, or political rhetoric, John explains how our minds work and the impact of this on how we operate individually and socially. He often helps his audience to realise that what we assume are truths are often ideas resulting from errors in thinking — to which all of us may fall subject. Through this, John encourages critical thinking, accepting responsibility for our flaws, the separation of criticising ideas from judging people, exercising our minds, and finding ways to live in harmony with and learn from each other rather than avoiding those who think differently. He also believes in helping his audience to develop more detailed, complex knowledge, rather than overly simplifying concepts to the extent that they become empty slogans. He maintains that while the quest for truth may never be completed, we should still strive to learn of it as only by doing this will we be the most independent and astute possible thinkers. If you have an idea for an episode, or would like to appear as a guest or collaborate, contact John to introduce yourself! John welcomes people of a broad range of backgrounds for discussion. John especially values the opportunity to discuss perspectives which differ from his.

In this episode, I welcome Derek Crager from the United States. Derek is the founder of Practical AI (with its creation Pocket Mentor) and creator of the Human First AI concept. Derek's enterprise works to make artificial intelligence easily accessible, tailored to businesses, and deployed so that it helps humans to create in ways which only they can, more efficiently ― not to replace human creation. He also educates on how it is crucial that human input and creation remain prominent in society, with artificial intelligence serving these pursuits. We discuss how this can be done.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Rusty Carter from the United States. Rusty is a union ironworker and the principal contributor of The Wealthy Ironworker website and The Wealthy Ironworker Podcast, where he brings fresh and nuanced perspectives to a wide variety of topics. From leadership to life principles, economics, skilled trades, advocacy, growth, consultations, and training, he seeks to cut through surface-level distractions and propaganda.


In this discussion, we examined the psychological nuances of capitalism and socialism, including the consequences of using them in absolutist fashion and allowing them to operate without scrutiny. As we discuss, a healthy economy requires more than the wealth it generates.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of conversing with Daniel Hodges from Texas, United States. Daniel is a disability advocate and co-founder of the Peaces of Me Foundation, who take a bold and authentic approach in their mission of eliminating the stigma regarding disability. We discuss how people's perceptions of disability are socially constructed, and the nuances of what this means in terms of how we can solve problems to make society more inclusive.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Valerie Flynn. Valerie is an author, podcaster, and learner. She is a contributing author to the “Writers Of Meaning” book, and the host of the Nara Fellowship and Writers Of Meaning podcasts. Professionally, Valerie worked in film, video, and radio as a production manager and producer for over 30 years with her father and brother. Some of the media projects to which she contributed were with Hanna-Barbera, Putnam Berkley, and Turner Entertainment. LionHawk Entertainment is her production company, for which she records digital legacy keepsakes for her clients and their loved ones.


In this discussion, we explore Valerie's experiences with the concept of community, including a fascinating type of community called Estuary which exists internationally and facilitates learning through the presenting of different perspectives and healthy disagreement. As is always valuable, we emphasise having the humility to understand that our beliefs are not perfect ― and that listening to others' perspectives is essential to understanding how our own beliefs operate.

I reveal the significance of Susanne's work in my own youth, before discussing the importance of young people's minds in developing virtue. With the still-held assumption that children are just chaotic tyrants who inherently are in need of fierce, fighting discipline, Susanne and I explore how proper nurturance of children helps them to reveal the power of their minds often hidden.

In this episode, I explain why thinking in terms of politics instead of objective truth is so illogical and destructive. I demonstrate that even though the truth about certain matters may be complicated, politically-motivated figures often claim to know it with absolute certainty, but without regard for their own double standards and fallacies. Ultimately, what we need to learn is that being truthful means asserting ideas for the right reasons and not simply choosing what feels easiest to believe — and that the effort this takes in real life often leads our minds to take shortcuts.

There are plenty of good parents in the world. But given the importance of children, we must draw attention to harmful parenting practices. We often speak of tending to children's emotions; here, I explain why this is important and how easy it may be to inadvertently harm children's emotional development, as well as bringing attention to dogma that ridicules the idea of emotional sensitivity.

Ebony is a proud mother, intuitive reader, model, coach, speaker, and disability advocate. Ebony is also blind, and it's a testament to her resilience and wisdom that she has overcome the challenges and stigma associated with disability and stands as an inspiration to all.


Raising children will always be perhaps the world's most important job, and it brings joy in to the lives of many. But it also brings with it great responsibilities, including self-regulation, discipline, patience, sacrifice, and empathy. While we may consider becoming a parent to be a natural progression for adults, too many ignore or are unaware of how easy it is to influence their children in undesirable ways that could have consequences for the rest of their adult lives. Ebony and I discuss some of the most important (and sometimes most ignored) issues in the domain, including the need for personal responsibility, informed choice, and conscientiousness in helping children to develop in a psychologically and physically healthy manner.

Housekeeping isn't the most exciting topic for most and we often don't give it much thought, but we definitely notice when it's neglected. In reality, anything we do in life can be done with aforethought and conscientiousness, and housekeeping is no different. Here, I share my philosophies and techniques for making housekeeping as effective and efficient as possible, so I spend the most time doing what matters to me.

With the proliferation of progressive slogans in favour of vulnerable groups, we like to think that the days of neglecting and abusing mentally ill and disabled individuals are well behind us. While we've improved significantly in our handling of these issues, there is a real concern that the neglect hasn't disappeared, but rather shows itself in more subtle manifestations.

Amey discusses life and personal wellbeing to fulfil her calling of helping people to be their best selves. Here, we discuss the concept of what it means to be deserving. We explore how encouraging people to perceive themselves as worthy is an antidote to suppressed self-esteem, and the boundary at which deserving ends and self-entitlement begins.

We undoubtedly live in troubled economic times, and people are still suffering despite their best efforts to survive financially. But the economy's problems don't mean we can't take responsibility for our spending, which unfortunately I've found is a problem for many. Here, I discuss how we can best address this.

In this episode, I change themes and discuss a topic which affects most of us: digital data. The fact is that most people I've met don't have a sound plan for backup of their data, which seems to be because these principles aren't taught. Here, I discuss the key principles which everyone should know as an absolute minimum. But don't stop here; once you know the basics, seek professional advice for a plan that suits your needs.

With Ebony Uamaki. Spirituality versus science: Are we so different? With Ebony Uamaki. 38 John Cuturilo Are spiritualists just hallucinating? Is living your life by science too rigid? And what exactly is manifesting, and does it have a place in scientific psychology?


In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ebony Uamaki. Ebony is a proud mother, intuitive reader, model, coach, speaker, and disability advocate. Ebony is also blind, and it's a testament to her resilience and wisdom that she has overcome the challenges and stigma associated with disability and stands as an inspiration to all.


Ebony and I travel out of our comfort zones in to daring intellectual territory. Society is becoming increasingly polarised and the slightest difference between people is treated as cause for major conflict. With intuitive reading being considered a spiritual practice by many (although, as Ebony says, there is some ambiguity in this), and my practice being based in Western science, our respective philosophies often don't co-exist peacefully. But we demonstrate that having civil dialogue and exploring some of the most uncomfortable questions together isn't just possible, but a necessary part of a civil society.

Simon is a registered social worker in Queensland, Australia (and his practice is expanding), who is changing the paradigm of psychotherapy. Simon has lived experience of mental illness and uses this to inform his approach. Instead of forcing his clients to work within the confines of a traditional therapy setting and methodologies, he allows the freedom to choose where and how to conduct appointments. As a result, he brings the humanity in to what was traditionally a rather cold and detached phenomenon. He listens and responds as a real person. Simon also hosts the Mindful Men podcast on which he discusses mental health. We discuss what we believe should change about the psychotherapy paradigms in Australia and what we've found useful in our respective journeys.
