About the show

What Matters Most shines the light on the therapy we need in our everyday lives. Drawing from the minds of two friends, Jacqui Maguire a clinical psychologist and Antonia Prebble, an actress and presenter, we create a space for exploring everyday issues that make up the moral and cultural climate of our era. Each week Antonia will bring the topic, Jacqui will bring the therapist lens, and together they will get curious. It’s as simple as that! Conversations between two friends that support, provide practical tools, are light-hearted at times, joyful, soulful and offer that little bit of ‘friendship mixed with therapy’ on the days that you might need it.
