About this episode
In this episode I share with you my thoughts on a recent read. I also talk a bit about my current reads which are
The Wife Next Door By Rona Halsall
Writers & Lovers By Lily King

The book I mentioned was People Like Them By Samira Sedira

And then we talked about a direct message I received with a question about attaching ourselves to others experiences. How can we stop ourselves from doing so?
