Hello, You!
It’s our 10th episode! Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Neil & Louise reflect on what they’ve learned over the last 9 episodes about being in flow while we chat, including the episode with the unintended bread theme.
We talk about staying in the moment and segue into a newly published book on consciousness that Louise is desperate to read.
From there, it’s a small hop to talking about anti-social grannies dancing in public spaces in China. Despite the fact that not everyone’s enjoying it, it’s a joyful view on community bonding in another culture.
Welcome in, the Salon is open and there’s a chair waiting for you …
