Summary
Gaby welcomes Dr Alex George to the podcast to chat about all things joy.
Alex opens up about his recent OCD diagnosis - and what that means for him (no, it doesn't just mean putting things in order) and gives some advice for those who may be having a similar experience.
They chat about 'mental fitness' and why we should be teaching kids how to deal with emotions and manage them - which Alex believes is just as important as English, Maths and Science.
One of the big themes of the chat is 'acceptance' - and how finding peace in life is such an important part of being joyful and happy. Alex talks about the Toolkit For Life - which each of us needs - and is tailored specifically to us.
We loved delving in to some big topics with Dr Alex, and hope you will get as much out of it as we did!
