  • #1 Monocle Moments - Rachel Knight
    In this podcast I talk to the most interest people I can find and try to dig deep to hopefully bring you a deeply fascinating listening experience.
    In this podcast, I’m talking to none other than Rachel Knight. She’s been a very good friend for many years now and one of the smartest people I personally know. In the conversation we get into some serious psychology and mental health related items, but we also discuss favourite books and Powerlifting.
    She currently had an honours BA in Psychology, a Master of science in applied psychology and a few years of working experience in both Clinical and research settings. She’s planning to start a PhD in september, followed by a doctorate in clinical psychology. However, we do want to put a disclaimer out there which is that despite Rachel’s extensive knowledge, she’s smart enough to know that she may not know everyting, so happy to take correspondance relating to unconsidered viewpoints, or research that may change her perspectives.
    If you yourself are struggling with a mental health problem, we’d advice to contact your doctor or someone you trust, we are no substitute for a trained professional.
    We mention:
    @trinitybarbell on Instagram
    Revolution Fitness in Dublin
    Books:
    The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
    Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World
    The Choice: Embrace the Possible
    Enjoy!
