Why you struggle to make decisions

Friendships are hard. Add in distance and they can get even harder at times. But long distance friendships seem like a fact of life in our 20s as people scatter for school, work, travel, and just because they want to. Whilst it's said that some 50% of these relationships fail, I want to give you the tools to help your long distance friendships succeed. In this episode we discuss: 
The psychological challenges of long distance friendships
How friendship is influenced by proximity and convenience 
My 4 ingredient friendship formula 
The BEST practical tips for maintaining connection 
What to do when the friendship feels over 

Hope you enjoy, and make sure you send to your long distance pal!

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
