    The mind is a slippery sucker

    Diversity, inclusion and power

    Diversity, inclusion and power

    If diversity and inclusion matter to you - and if you've ever felt excluded or discriminated in any way, it should - then this episode is for you.

    Passion, purpose and a little vulnerability

    Hogwash, codswallop or real meaning? Let's talk passion, purpose and vulnerability. (I so wish I'd actually said hogwash and codswallop in the episode. Such great words. Very Miranda, if you know what I mean.)

    For those wondering about permaculture, which gets mentioned in the episode, here's the link. https://www.permaculture.org.uk
