So thanks so much for being here.

Oh, thank you so much for having me, Danielle.

I wanted to have been following you on Instagram for a while and I love your Instagram.

I wanted to sort of talk because I like I think a lot of other people maybe especially women, although I don't know if I should make that assumption.

I'm feeling this mixed bag of as we start to sort of think about post pandemic life.

This mixed bag of I can't wait to get back to everything, but I'm also petrified to get back to everything.

And the pandemic has been a really nice pause for so many of us and sort of to realign and realize how much we have been over scheduled how much we've been drained energy wise.

We sort of got to stop and reflect on all of that.

And you specialize in making sure that we are being or tell me if I'm incorrect at any point.

Being our best selves and getting what we want and making sure that we're not living in this mode of kind of living for other people, being a people pleaser.

You know, and basically putting our own needs last.

So can you tell us a little bit about baggage reclaim and what you do.

Yeah, absolutely.

You are spot on that it's very much about becoming more of who you really are and enjoying more mutually fulfilling relationships.

And the root to that is owning our needs and taking care of ourselves and living by our values as opposed to making our existence about everybody else.

And it's interesting what you described there because I definitely have recognized that feeling, you know, that sense of, ooh, like I want my, my, my post pandemic life, you know, I want to be out of lockdown and, you know, social distancing and all of these various different rules and regulations.

But what was an interest in revelation for me was that after the first lockdown that we had here in England.

I would then receive invitations to do things, you know, I would get like texts going, oh my gosh, like let's get a date in the diary to meet up.

And all of a sudden I went from having basically all of my time really to myself.

I had nowhere to go, nowhere to be unless you can't supermarket, walk the dog, you know, walk or get some form of exercise.

That was basically all you could do and all of a sudden people were like, oh, let's do this, let's do this.
