The fruit beneath your feet with Olga Thompson
The pod has the first of our wonderful guests! Introducing the talented, hilarious, wise and all round fabulous Olga Thompson!
This episode could have been 3 times as long as it is, as Olga attempted to rename self care and gave really helpful practical tips to bring it down to a manageable level. The tea and wisdom were most definitely flowing, culminating in the prescription for self care arrived at being a combination of:
1. There is lots of unlearning to do
2. It is crucial that we give ourselves permission to stop and do what we need/want in a moment of need
3. Be gentle with yourself
4. Never compare
5. Stay in your lane and concentrate on your journey
Follow Olga @olga.thompson and @big_fat_greekmother
We had so much fun and learned lots so we will definitely have to have Olga back for another cuppa and natter over the fence in the near future.
