This week I'm joined for the 3rd time by the wonderful Nicola Hobbs. Nicola is an Author and Yoga Teacher who recently attended a 10 Day Silent Retreat where from 4am-to-8pm she meditated and only stopped for food, bathroom breaks and 1 Lesson a Day.

In this episode we discuss:

- Why Nicola started Meditating and the benefits she found initially.
- How Nicola manages her Introversion
- The impact that different environments can have on us from day-to-day.
- Why Nicola did the 10-day silent retreat, how she prepared for it and what her expectations were for the experience.
- What a typical day was like on the retreat and what experience and impact did it have on Nicola both during and after the retreat.
- Nicola's favourite books that have had the most impact on her.

Be sure to check out the 2 previous episodes Nicola and I did.
