Viva Aikins is proof to never judge a book by its cover. Not only is she a London bus driver (in her dreams, she drives a carnival bus), but she was also homeless for 18 months on the streets of London.

In this episode, Viva shares:

- her incredible journey from homelessness to motherhood

- her current struggle with intense emotion and her three-pronged approach to working with it

- her in-the-moment solution to stop feeding the ego (it involves washing up liquid)

- the story of giving birth to her son, drug-free, claiming her own experience rather than being told what to feel and do by the medical profession.

This episode is a must-listen. Food for the soul.
