#036 Who Are You When Nobody Is Watching? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Imagine that nobody would ever know. Nobody would praise you. Nobody would criticise you. Nobody would find out. What would you do differently? In this episode, we explore authenticity, social approval, conformity, and the uncomfortable gap between being a good person and appearing to be one . How much of what we do comes from our genuine values—and how much comes from the desire to be liked, respected, admired, or simply seen in a certain way? Drawing on psychological research and real-life exa
#035 The Person You Could Have Been (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever wondered who you might have become if you had made one different choice? If you had taken that job. Stayed in that relationship. Moved to another country. Started the business. Picked up the guitar again. We all carry imaginary versions of ourselves—the people we might have been , the lives we might have lived , and the paths we didn't take . In this reflective episode of StJohn-On-Air , I explore counterfactual thinking , possible selves , nostalgia , and narrative identity to ask
#034 You Don't Have to Do It Alone: Understanding Body Doubling for ADHD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why can an ADHD child spend twenty minutes trying to begin five minutes of homework… yet start almost immediately when someone quietly sits beside them?

Dogs, Discipline, and the Life They Quietly Give Us | Long Conversations #1 | St-John On-Air (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does owning a dog really teach us about life? In the first episode of Long Conversations , a new monthly series from St-John On-Air , I step away from the usual research-led format for a more personal and reflective conversation. Drawing on nearly three decades of living with dogs—including my 12-year-old Border Collie, Pepe , my Yakutian Laika, Mara , and the Giant Schnauzer, Bite who shared 17 years of my life—I explore how dogs quietly shape who we become. This isn't an episode about cho
#033 Understanding Masking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Exhaustion Nobody Sees: Understanding Masking in Neurodivergent Lives Why do some autistic people and people with ADHD seem to "hold it together" all day—only to completely fall apart once they get home? In this compassionate episode of StJohn-On-Air , I explore the hidden emotional labour of masking (also known as camouflaging): the effort many neurodivergent people invest in hiding their natural behaviours to fit into a world that often misunderstands them. Drawing on the work of Dr. Laura
