This week, I discuss the concept of compartmentalisation and its role in managing emotions and stress. I share personal experiences and strategies for managing emotional overwhelm, learning to trust our instincts, detach from societal expectations, and focus on what brings us joy and fulfilment. I tell you about the surprisingly enjoyable experience of having an MRI and talk about my experience walking the Camino de Santiago, healing from head to heart after narcissistic abuse. I close with a heartfelt tribute to my late grandfather. Oh, and I teach you 10 phrases we use in Ireland to describe someone who’s a bit insane – in a good way.  Support the Podcast: www.connectedcommunication.club Christine Mullaney aims to make her online public speaking and pronunciation lessons available to the masses, so everyone has a fair chance to access training that has for years only been available to the "elite and upper classes."
