This episode turned out to be a fun, fascinating and lengthy Q & A extravaganza (with listener questions), which is why it’s a three part-er. We explore a range of interesting and broadly relevant questions and topics, including addictive personalities, feeling helpless, quietening the inner critic, how we define ourselves, how to disagree politely, why people-pleasing doesn’t work, sleep science, working out post-fifty, finding your ‘why’, giving unwanted advice, what being ‘open-minded’ really means, trying to change others, dealing with toxic people and lots more. Enjoy.
