Brilliantly Easy, Stupidly Difficult is a podcast about the choices we make, and the lives we end up living. We're all different, but we also have a lot in common. Not least, a desire to live a life entirely true to ourselves. To use our time in ways we won't regret. Understanding that is easy. But it's a lot more difficult to get to the end confident we made it happen. A podcast from 9others.
