Osher Günsberg: Part 2 - A journey of sobriety and acceptance: leaving ‘that guy’ behind

Changing his name from Andrew to Osher (meaning happiness in Hebrew) may have been an ‘aggressive rebrand’ but for Osher Günsberg it helped put a space between the “him who was drinking and using and the him that got to live the rest of his life not being that guy anymore.” Years on, Osher is raw and real when he speaks about mental illness, addiction, sobriety and death. In recounting his journey from hosting the hit TV shows Australian Idol and The Bachelor, to his breakthrough radio days, and now as a best-selling author, successful podcaster and passionate Dad, photographer and cyclist, Osher doesn’t leave anything unsaid and works to inspire others as we all navigate the ups and downs of life.

If you loved Part 1 of Osher’s raw and real story, don’t miss Part 2. In this episode, Osher dives even deeper into his journey through mental illness, addiction, sobriety, and confronting death. He leaves nothing unsaid, sharing his experiences to inspire others as we all navigate the ups and downs of life.
