Fun Life Walks

This is a special bonus episode. We took a break from the bridges to record a bonus episode with a very historical subject. King Charles III's accession to the throne after his mother's epic 70 year reign made us think about the two previous King Charles'.

We continue our detour from the London Bridges to head around Battersea Park. We enjoy the beautiful greenery on the edge of the city and take in a game of cricket. We chat about how not to let things you don't know stop you from going for a job you want. To often we think we need to fit all the criteria and if we don't we dismiss ourselves instead of asking what we can bring to the job. Of course there is the usual mind blowing Handy Hints from Tishy. Come walk with us.

This week we deviate from the London Bridges to venture around Battersea Power Station. Tishy tells us of another slightly odd phobia of hers and we chat about why we care so much about what people we only see on holiday, once in a lifetime, think about how we look. Let's just wear what we want to wear and not what makes other people feel comfortable. Tishy blows our minds with not one but TWO handy hints and gives our Foreign Phrase of the Week.

Deep down you know but too often the noise of life gets in the way. Listen to your Inner Voice, that gut feeling or intuition that shows you the right way. You don't always have to act on it but it will give you a clearer view on what is holding you back or making you unhappy. Give it a try!
