    What if belonging doesn’t require you to become someone else? “Any belonging that asks us to betray ourselves is not true belonging.” I first read those words from Brené Brown a few years ago, and the concept of belonging has stuck with me ever since. So many of us have experienced that yearning to be part of a group, to feel accepted, cool, not ‘other’ – and so many of us have squished some part of who we really are in order to fit in. But betraying ourselves takes its toll. In this episode, I’

    What if resilience isn't about bouncing back? In this first episode of Series 4, I’m challenging the idea that being resilient means a speedy recovery or carrying on as though nothing happened. Because sometimes - most of the time - resilience isn't bouncy at all. Instead, it can look like rest, patience and taking the time you need to gather yourself and top yourself up before you go again. I share what one story of recovery from injury reminded me about resilience, and how the resilience we se
