QUOTE OF THE WEEK

What on earth is Groucho Marx doing in Eating Coach HQ???

In this episode, I talk about some key points from this talk. You don’t need to have watched it to understand.

Find out:

• Why grandmothers aren’t heroin addicts (it’s not Victorian morality!)
• How our innate need to bond can indirectly lead to addiction under specific circumstances
• The role of shame in all this
