O tym odcinku

<p>Journalist, broadcaster, and one half of the<em> 5 Live Breakfast</em> presenting team, Rachel Burden, joins Gabby on the podcast this week. Rachel talks about how years of very early wake up calls have taught her not to get too paranoid about the amount of sleep she gets, instead looking at the bigger picture and the positive effects of being stimulated and nourished by a job you love. As a working mum of four, Rachel also discusses making life decisions as a family unit, striving to have the things you want in life rather than trying to have it all, and how her youngest child’s premature birth proved just how little we can actually control in life. Rachel also talks about the joy of taking up walking football in midlife, and her new project - <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001xwqx/episodes/guide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Cafe Hope</em></a> - which she’s hoping will provide some relief from the daily news cycle. Dr Danny Penman also joins to speak about his experience using meditation as pain relief after a serious paragliding accident, and how taking time out for meditation can actually save you time in the long run. His new book<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0349433208/ref=nosim?tag=drdannypenman-21" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <em>Deeper Mindfulness: The New Way to Rediscover Calm in a Chaotic World</em></a> is available now.&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
