This is the 99th episode of the Wisdom for Wellbeing podcast. In this episode, I am joined by my lovely friend and colleague, Kate Matthew. This was a really fun episode, and we did things a little differently in that Kate decided to switch things up and interview me! We talked about everything from how the podcast began at the beginning of the pandemic, my PhD research, and psychological flexibility. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
