And my other story, which was actually the first one I wrote before Whispers,

It is called Eleanor Digby Loves Dirt because I went, we can make the difference for adults, but where we can make real difference is with the kids.

Let the little girls know, and the boys too, that you can be whatever you want, but a little girl in a pink tutu playing in the dirt, that's cool.

You know, you don't have to be in shorts and work boots to be able to play in the dirt.

You can do it whichever way works for you.

And so Eleanor Digby Loves Dirt is about a little girl who can play in the dirt and be really happy there.

That is great because I grew up like that too.

Now you've taken me back.

I used to climb this tree and I used to sit up and watch the world go by, but I remember my first kiss was a little boy that just kept running around the tree and I sort of had to chase him.

Yeah, there's so many things and where to start is probably a good question.

Where to start, I think, is the mental resilience and being able to cope under pressure is critical no matter whether you're running a multimillion dollar business or you're raising a family or you're working a nine to five.

Mental health is critical.

We need to look after our mental health and being really resilient in that regard is really, really important.

And so meditation's been a massive part of my life.

Being a fitness instructor, I learned that you have to train the brain too.

Fitness is specific.

You have to train each muscle specifically as you do with the brain.

And, you know, we're meaning making machines.

We're making meaning all the time.

Just like our heart pumps, our brain thinks and those thoughts are not ours.
