Really Ree is a content creator who joins me on the podcast to share her feel-good habits, the strategies she uses and recommends to make sure every day is a good day.

In this episode, @reallyree shares:

• Why it's so important not to let 'the buggers get you down'.
• Why you can't avoid negativity so you just have to develop the skill of ignoring it.
• The value in feeling your feelings when you're not feeling at the top of your game, acknowledging them and then moving forward with purpose. This is especially useful on Monday mornings...
• The challenges that come with working for yourself when you're the employee and the boss.
• Taking the time to know what makes you happy.
• Why it's other people's problem if they don't appreciate you.
• Why you haven't failed until you quit.
• Why doing the thing you like doing the least should always be at the top of your to-do list - and you should always try to do it quickly!

Mandy Saligari is an addiction expert who I asked to join me to discuss our relationship with food. While addictions to drugs and alcohol are widely known and somewhat understood, the sometimes toxic bond people can have with food is much muddier terrain; not least because we all need food to survive.

In this episode, Mandy and I discuss:

• How negative feelings around food can creep up on you and begin to feel 'normal'.
• When food becomes a medication for emotion.
• How, when talking about an addictive process, it comes back to your relationship with yourself.
• How food and the attachment and intimacy process and your relationship with money all operate in a triad. Read: if you have issues with food, it's likely you'll have issues with money and relationships.
• How food can be used to bury the feelings you don't want to face.
• Why making anything, be it a diet or fitness regime, a magic bullet is a mistake.
• The shame that surrounds our relationship with food and how we can feel like failures because of it.
• The role of denial and deceit in how we behave around food.
• Why asking yourself 'what do I need?' is a vital question and one we often ignore.
• How to learn to notice the difference between emotional and physical hunger, and much more...

‘Pushing back on narcissism is a human rights issue’.

Dr Ramani Durvasula is a clinical psychologist, best-selling author and professor of psychology who shares her expertise on narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder on the latest episode of the podcast.

The term ‘narcissist’ is bandied around a lot but it’s an overused and misunderstood word, which is why I asked Dr Ramani to join me on the show. During our conversation she helps unpick and unpack its complexities, what it is, what it isn’t and how to navigate the world knowing that being a victim of narcissism can cause you real harm.

If you think you understand what a narcissist is and how to spot one then think again…

In this episode, @drramani shares:

• The difference between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder.
• Why the label ‘narcissist’ is too broad.
• Whether narcissism is innate or learned.
• The emotional damage a narcissist can cause and why the fallout can be so devastating for the victim.
• The types of people who are most likely to get caught in a narcissist’s trap.
• Why narcissism is rewarded in today’s society and why it’s turning narcissism into an epidemic.
• Whether a narcissist ever gets their just deserts.
• Whether you should ever tell an narcissistic off, and much more…

Dr Ramani’s books are available now at all good book stores:

Don’t You Know Who I Am? How to stay sane in an era of narcissism, entitlement and incivility.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist.
