One of the most common requests by students is that they want to become more, "fluent". But on a day to day basis, what does this actually mean and how can we set goals to achieve this mythical fluency? That's what this episode is about. And when we achieve a little step along the way, we might say "onya".

In this episode I relate some of the time I spent in the spinal ward and my recovery to learning a language. There is a lot of toxic positivity and false optimism in both settings which is likely to lead to frustration and disappointment. So how do we overcome this?

We discuss the importance of setting measurable, achievable goals as a way to working towards bigger goals, such as fluency. In that way, you might be able to say onya, more often.
