Why Tessa you're looking a radiant today. Thank you. Right. Stevie I've always been admirer of your work and I think you've really progressed.

Christ.

It's very nice actually, thank you.

So this is an episode which I actually felt like we've done but we haven't

and it's because we interviewed a lovely friend of the

podcast amazing author of really good actually Monica Heisey and she we were

saying about how great her book was and she dissolved into a small goe

yeah she really did but actually before she got goo she also went the

tightest I've ever seen a human body go yeah and she had been so confident

calm assured Canadian even talking about how uptight British people are.

Absolutely.

A number of times ragging us out for our bad behavior

and our upper lip and whatnot. then the compliments came I wouldn't even

say too many of them just one I'd say just one yeah and you've written a good book

and we thought looks all right isn't it and her whole she went yeah and then she said have you done how to take a compliment yeah yeah

and we know we have it and so we're like my goodness we must we must we simply must talk about it

because I think it's such a incredibly hard thing. We deflect and we say oh no

oh gosh it was oh no it's nothing it's it was this or I we love to say oh I got it in sale

like don't don't say it's nice it's you do this a lot

oh how would you describe that for the audio listeners the audio listeners it's so you

we'll all do it together if you're not in public or if you are you

hunt your shoulders forward you hunt your neck forward you bend your elbows palms forwards
