Public speaking is one of our biggest fears as a species - some 75% of us list public speaking as our biggest and greatest fear. In today's episode, I want to discuss why that is and where this fear stems from, socially, psychologically and evolutionary, but also how we can transform our attitude to public speaking and excel, including tips based in psychology such as: 
Creating a persona and modelling a hero
Embracing flow rather than a need for structure 
The power of slowing down 
Anxiety and pacing 
Anchoring yourself to your audience

A lot of us try to convince ourselves we can be friends with our ex in the immediate aftermath of a breakup, but is that necesserily the best idea? In 2022 I did an episode with my ex-boyfriend talking about how a friendship was totally possible, well since then it is obvious to say that I have changed my mind, and in this episode I give my reasons, including: 
Why we (mistakedly) try to stay friends with our exes 
The types of relationships where this feels possible 
The consequences 
How it impacts our new relationships, self esteem, and ability to find closure
How to be friends with an ex if you MUST BE 
Essential boundaries for a friendship with your ex

This episode is the only time I have redone/revised an episode so we hope you enjoy.
