When you feel worse in the Winter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is not uncommon for mood or mental health to feel worse over the Winter. Our first go-to explanation for that is biological: the lack of sunlight.

This episode is all about those things, and what we can do about them. Thank you for listening.

Self-acceptance: how do you do that? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Self-acceptance is a lovely idea but often a very hard thing to do. In this episode I talk about what makes this hard, and one particular and very effective way of approaching it. Sometimes we think of self-acceptance we end up thinking about grand gestures of self-love. Treating yourself to something, walking on the beach with motivational music playing that speaks about empowerment, maybe.
