This episode is a conversation with Quality of Mind colleague Kate Adey. Kate has over 20 years experience in the corporate world - as a consultant and coach.  Have you ever noticed that spark in life has dulled, or the feeling of joy for no reason has evaporated?  Are you surviving rather than thriving? And if thriving, is it achieved by striving and grind? Many of us are innocently and invisibly 'comfortably numb'. Sound like you?..Listen on... The episodes covers: How as we grow up gradually and subtly the freedom, ease, and joy can disappear from life, but we see it 'just how life is' The indicators that you might be more 'comfortably numb' than you realised How this is exaggerated in most organisations and workplaces Is there an alternative?  What can we do about that? How do we see the extraordinary in the ordinary Maybe we have just been looking in the wrong place....
