Description

Chat Shows, Donald Trump & Unruly Roommates!


This week I’m joined by comedy legend, bestselling author, and mindfulness teacher Ruby Wax.


From HBO to Oxford, chat shows to silent retreats, Ruby has done it all and brought her razor-sharp wit with her. She’s faced down depression (or her “unruly roommate,” as she calls it), taken on fame, and even once roasted Donald Trump at 33,000 feet!


Ruby’s no stranger to the chaos of the mind, and in this episode we dive into how she’s learned to manage hers with humour, honesty, and a Master’s Degree in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford. We chat about mental breakdowns, people-pleasing, 30-day silent retreats and much more.


If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!
