    S3E4 Where’d You Park Your Spaceship?

    Sometimes you take a risk and the risk comes off. I asked one of my all time heroes, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell, if he would come on the podcast. And he said ‘Yep.’

    What?! On my little old podcast?

    We talk creativity and resistance, creative resistance, and the healing power of bread. Oh and about his new novel, ‘Where’d you park your spaceship?’ A truly magical conversation, I’m so glad you can hear it too.

    S3E3 Do This One Thing Every Day

    Early career writers often get the advice to ‘Write Every Day’. Adverts for fitness and self-improvement products exhort you to ‘Just do this for 10 minutes a day and your belly/ bank balance/life will change forever.’ But is it actually sustainable to do something every day? Let’s find out.

    S3E2 Winners Never Quit, Quitters Never Win

    What motivational quotes really get up your nose? In a slight departure from our normal format, I’m going to spend the next few episodes exploring common bits of life advice that are supposed to be uplifting and inspiring but can equally cause frustration. And the first one is…Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win. Thank you to Rick Dove for this suggestion. If you have a saying that you want me to deconstruct in an amusing yet nuanced way, let me know!

    S3E1 Treat Your Money Like Your Lover

    This is Not Therapy is back for a third season, and yet again I’m kicking off with an off-piste episode where, instead of the usual format, I interview a fascinating individual to set the tone for the rest of the season. This time I am talking to my good friend Ivonne Senn about our relationship with money.

    Uh Oh…

    If thinking about money, handling money or just paying the bills is a source of stress for you , I highly recommend listening to our conversation. I don’t think I know anyone who has a more grounded, humane and functional relationship with finances. And it’s not scary. She gives actual advice that you can implement today. Imagine feeling better about money right now. Wouldn’t that be lovely.

    You can find Ivonne at:

    S2E10 Read Hitchhikers!

    Do you have a book that you return to over and over again? What is it about that story? Is it getting lost in it that helps, or does it contain some wisdom, some clue that helps you makes sense of a chaotic world.

    In my early teens and twenties, that book for me was Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I lost touch with it for a couple of decades, though I’m reply sure there was always a copy on one of my bookshelves. Then, it came back to me at a most unexpected moment. But would it stand the test of time?

    S2E9 Till Debt Us Do Part

    Money and debt can be triggering at the best of times but during a cost of living crisis? Let’s not even go there. But maybe we should. Maybe it’s time to look those fears in the face, or at least peak between our fingers at them. In 2016, I wrote a show called Till Debt Us Do Part. Now I return to that show, to see if anything in it can calm my current brain weasels.

    (P.S. make sure you listen until after the credits because Neil has left the best Easter Egg of outtakes ever.)

    S2E8 Memo to Mothers (and Those Who Are Not)

    Whether you are blessed with child-bearing organs or not, I bet at some point in your life you tussled with yourself about whether to have children. I know I spent most of my twenties trying to avoid having children and then when the countdown to closing of that door began, I spent an inordinate amount of time and tears, trying to come to a definitive decision. Now I’m in my fifties, that door is bolted shut, so here are some stories about being the other side of that decision, and what that means to me about being a ‘woman’.

    S2E7 Rest: The One that Got Away

    Ever find yourself saying, ‘I’ll just get that job done and then I’ll have a sit down,’ only to move onto the next task, having possibly put some water in the kettle, but never having made that cup of tea?

    No? Just me then.

    Seriously though, how easy do you find it to take a genuine day off, without worrying about that you have coming up next? If you are like me, you might make a right song and dance (or possibly even a show) about it.

    S2E5 Snow Leopardess and Me

    Have you ever broken something you loved? Or been broken by it? My first love was horses, and yet by the age of 30, all the joy had gone out of the relationship, and I thought I could never get it back. I was wrong about that. Listen on to find out about the extraordinary set of circumstances that brought me back to my love of horses.

    Welcome back to series 2 of This Is Not Therapy! In a change from our normal programming, today I interview Eleanor O’Brien, sex positive theatre maker and all round wonderful mensch. We talk about following wildly improbable dreams, making theatre with integrity that normalises pleasure and showing up with joyful vulnerability, and the peaks and pratfalls of performing at the Edinburgh Fringe.

    So if you are contemplating a wildly outrageous goal of your own this year, or your are somewhere in the trenches, agonising on how you have got so off-course, you will find a lot to resonate with in this episode.

    S1E10 Making Friends with Gratitude

    How do you feel when someone asks you what you are grateful for? It should feel good, right? I struggled with gratitude for years. It felt like a straitjacket imposed from the outside, as something I should be, but because I didn’t feel grateful inside, I must be a bad person. Good thing I sorted that one out then, isn’t it?

    S1E7 How To Delight Your Dental Hygienist

    I know what you’re thinking. Ahh, Tina’s doing one about dentistry/people pleasing. And you could be forgiven for thinking that, bearing in mind the title. But in fact, it’s about…resistance. (Through the medium of resisting one particular aspect of dental hygiene, and the discussion thereafter.)

    So. What simple action or task do you ferociously resist doing? And how can you kindly melt that resistance. All that and more, in this episode.

    With thanks for the lovely Wendy Kay, for bravely discussing her own resistances around cooking. And botox.
