She has written a series of exceptional books aimed at new mothers but her most recent one, The Uncomfortable Truth is for absolutely everyone and is all about facing and accepting our deepest fears in order to live freely and peacefully.During the episode we talk about so many pertinent challenges that I know a huge amount of us face.

One thing about interviewing psychotherapists is how tempting it can be to open up about the things that I am personally struggling with, or have struggled with. It's not something I intended to do but in navigating Anna Mathur's life lessons we stumbled upon the territory of people pleasing and, well, that was it.Both of us have found ourselves crippled by the effects of people pleasing and these have shown up in Anna's life in ways that have had a huge impact. I always open the show by asking my guests what their relationship with risk is like and it's interesting that a big risk for Anna, and me, was to put ourselves first.If you're afflicted with the disease to please then this episode is definitely for you.Anna's books are available now.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

One thing about interviewing psychotherapists is how tempting it can be to open up about the things that I am personally struggling with, or have struggled with. It's not something I intended to do but in navigating Anna Mathur's life lessons we stumbled upon the territory of people pleasing and, well, that was it.Both of us have found ourselves crippled by the effects of people pleasing and these have shown up in Anna's life in ways that have had a huge impact. I always open the show by asking my guests what their relationship with risk is like and it's interesting that a big risk for Anna, and me, was to put ourselves first.If you're afflicted with the disease to please then this episode is definitely for you.Anna's books are available now.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.
