Mollie Birney is a clinical life coach and former therapist. 

In this episode, we discuss what a clinical life coach is and how they differ from a therapist; whether perfectionism is just procrastination in disguise; behaviour change and how to shift the narrative of our subconscious and irrational brain; why women struggle to take compliments; why women often criticise one another; the roots and meaning of shame; how to recognise when our negative emotions become too intense; how mental overconsumption affects anxiety and our survival nervous system; why we disconnect from the present moment; what it means to experience an existential crisis; the difference between a thought and a feeling; how we begin to discover who we truly are—and much more.
