Good morning, everybody, and welcome to this episode of After Shop Weekly.

I'm in a rush, actually, because I have to go to the dentist, which is prompting me to have a think about things. And I guess what I want you to write today is write from a place of health, write from a place of care, a place of fear.

When we... All these things like dentists, doctors, everything else, they come with a mixture. For some people they're scared, for some people they're not. For some people they're a sign of care, for some people they're a sign of warning. And I think there's something interesting in navigating that.

An added layer you might do is project yourself into a past version of when this has happened and give your past self sort of spoilers for how your future life has improved since then.

Anyway, I apologise for the very quick prompt.
