I just listened to the episode on memory and forgetfulness, and it felt like you were talking about me! I have struggled with my memory and concentration for years. I’ve blamed it on age, stress, being stupid, and even thought I might have early Alzheimer’s! My memory(or lack of it) has definitely held me back, and kept me playing small in some situations! Thank you for talking about it in this episode, and thank you for this podcast, I’ll be listening to them all!”Thanks, Canuck Liz!
