This will be, you know, I'm going to love this.

This is joyful.

I love your podcast.

I love you.

This is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

No need to be scared.

Yeah.

But it's very easy to lose touch with that in midlife and to feel like you can't get that part of yourself back.

You know, we have so many versions of ourselves in life.

It's not just child, you know, teenager, adult, and then old person.

There's hundreds of versions.

And I think not only do we have to go back and forgive some of them and, you know, make peace with some of them, but I think we have to borrow things from some of them as well, like...

22 year old me may I have some of your confidence thank you very much you know I'll take that and that has been a fun exercise for me as well because there were parts of old versions of me that needed to come back What did your sons make of this then?

They are bemused and bewildered and you know they um

They're teenage boys.

No, that's not a word I would use.

But they're not embarrassed.

So that's good enough for me.

But I'm very good at sort of, I don't talk about them.

I'm an open book.
