A little teaser of our brand new Patreon SPECIAL bonus episode. Sofie has watched Couples Therapy, but first, we get into talking about the apocalypse again. Also, Abby sings. Does she sing well? Time will tell. Listen on Patreon now.
We dive into Kae Tempest's On Connection - a book about connections and the magic that happens when connection happens and other stuff to do with connection. (Sofie writes these blurbs and there is a chance Sofie didn't fully understand what the book was about.) We also discuss weddings and creativity. It's fun.MAIN SOURCEOn Connection by Kae TempestALSO MENTIONEDSelf Compassion by Kristin NeffMicro Moments of Positivity Resonance by Dr. Barbara Fredrickson

Nicolas Coppola) and trains and more stuff.Sign up on Patreon for the full episode and loads more goodies here.
Sofie read Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood when she was 19 and it changed her life. Will it have the same effect now? Does Abby love too little, enough or too much? Also, a post-recording correction: Akon did the lovely song 'Lonely', not the other lovely song 'F**k it' - that belonged to Eamon. Get your 00s music facts straight, Sofie Hagen. Also this is a special episode because it's been edited by Sofie Hagen. So if it sounds a little different, that's why. Sofie did her very best...

Todays episode will lift your spirits for a number of reasons, firstly our hosts crossed oceans in order to record in person AND they're in Denmark, home of Hygge - so it feelt only right that the book they delve into should be Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking.

A little snippet, or, a teaser, from our Patreon and Subscribers ONLY exclusive content.

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön, supplies the context for this episode, and was in no small part inspired by a staggering act of kindness Abby experienced in her own life.One of the inevitabilities of life is that at some stage or another, things will fall apart, so how can this book teach us to survive and learn from these times?
