We're back! Thanks to all our listeners for bearing with us while we took our own advice and dialled things back for a self-care break last month. We're now recharged and raring to go and this week is a good one. We're exploring the differences in how we perceive the world depending on where we are on the introversion/extraversion spectrum and how this fits in with how we look after ourselves and thrive in our lives.

This week Liz and Julia are chatting about all things January and, in particular, the ways we beat the January blues through self-care (which as we know is so much more than bubble baths), permission to rest, tuning in to our daily needs and gentle intention setting.
