Listening back to this one - so much to relate to in here, I think my brain works in a very similar way, just weird we don’t talk about those kind of things more.

The voice in my head has saved me sooo many times! Always reminding me of mundane things not to my coffee cup in precarious locations, but to put my keys in my bag so I can find them, to get petrol, all which save me time and sanity. I truly believe that sensible little voice has saved my life.

Good ep!

I prefer the term ‘child-free’ to ‘child-less’; a small but important difference in wording reframes it as a choice rather than something to be suffered.

Not having kids by choice really pushes some people’s buttons. When I’m asked why I don’t have any I struggle with giving the real answers (there are many) for fear of sounding like a self righteous prick.

Yeah, fair. It is a weirdly contentious subject on so many levels

Another excellent episode. I'm fascinated listening to people describe how they learn or what their inner monologue is like. Love the risk v reward and serendipity themes too.
