The Clearing with Katherine May

Josie George on the joy of small things


Listen Later

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.


This week Katherine chats to Josie George, author of 'A Still Life: A Memoir'.


Josie George has always lived with a complex of medical conditions that are difficult to name, but which leave her permanently in pain and having to carefully manage her mindset and energies in order to cope with everyday life. Here, she talks about the joys she finds in small things, and the vibrant appreciation for life that her restrictions have given her.


An upfront and positive chat in which Josie goes into her history with health, illness versus wellness, forms of gaslighting taking place through diagnoses, spiralling but maintaining forward motion, adapting to change rather than stopping, maintaining presence and tuning into frequencies of mindfulness.
