BEST MOMENTS
"I feel like my body is angry with me. I feel like my body is like really kind of shouting at me. Something's wrong, do something about it."
"We experience our bodies from the outside in. How do I look? How do other people see me? Am I attractive? We pay so little attention to how do I feel? What do I need
"It's not so much about thinking about nothing, but it's about noticing that the mind does wander and when you notice the wandering, it's about a gentle nudging and bringing the mind back."
"Resilience does not mean I can keep going no matter what. Resilience means recognising when things are too much and stepping back and deciding what needs to happen."
"Your body isn't gonna stand for any more of this. Everybody else has to come first. Your body is almost saying, it's a big wake up call."
"If you feel fear and your internal alarm system's going on and it's a real emergency, then follow through. But if it's just that you're doing a podcast that is unfamiliar to you, then it's okay to have that fear."
"Say yes to more, be more adventurous, be less afraid to show up. Do more, life is short. See this as an opportunity to say yes to yourself."
