Episode 05: Suzy Reading — “Become an Awe Hunter. It’s Life Changing.”

This week I’m joined by the wonderful Suzy Reading. Chartered psychologist, author of TEN books including ‘How to Be Selfish’, and the person behind one of the warmest, most encouraging and validating Instagram feeds on the internet. Suzy grew up in Sydney, was an ice skater (yes in Australia!), studied psychology, accidentally moved to the UK for two months and stayed for seven years, and has spent the last twenty years weaving together psychology, movement, yoga and writing into a practice that helps people weather stress, loss and change. We talk about awe hunting - what it is, how Suzy does it every single day and how it’s transformed the way she sees the world. We also talk about creativity as emotional digestion, why self-expression is a human need, how to find time for creativity when life is very full, and what to do when you feel disconnected from your creative self. Suzy’s said on her first book coming out, it took twenty years for her career to make sense. I feel like that’s worth remembering for those of us feeling impatient! Maybe it’s helpful and maybe it’s not but this conversation was wonderful and I hope you enjoy it.  Show notes:   / suzyreading   https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/46327... by Suzy Reading https://bookshop.org/p/books/self-car... also obviously by Suzy Reading https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/suz... book we mentioned) https://www.mindbodyspirit.co.uk/fest..., Suzy is speaking on the Midlife Wisdom stage on Saturday 14th Nov at 2:30pm on how to start cast off your good girl conditioning and channel all the main character energy https://www.jojohanks.com/suzy-readin...
