Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jimmy Ligemail. I hope you're well.

Merry Christmas. If that is a holiday that you celebrate, I'm not a big Christmas person. I like a twinkling light,

but I'm not particularly interested in

any kind of forced sentimental holiday or I have to be with people that I don't want to be with and pretend to be cheerful all day.

I'm English, which is not how I roll and I don't drink so I can't even get drunk and pretend.

So I enjoy a very chill Christmas day where I don't really celebrate it and I

don't know, I just sort of

don't talk to or do talk to whoever I wish. It's a day of my email not going off and good telly and

really great food and that's about it. And so tomorrow I hope you're having a great time and maybe you're reunited with people that you weren't able to be with last year.

And I feel so happy for you if that's the case and hope it's as wonderful as can be.

But if you're alone right now and having a bit of a shit time and looking at Instagram and seeing how happy everyone's like happiest moment of the day.

That's probably also filled with stress and arguments.

But if you're seeing just that perfect code act moment of everyone else is big happy families and it's making you feel isolated and shit.

Please don't it's just a day and I'm also having a chill one and the day after will just be a regular old day just again.

This is all I mean it's I get that it's meaningful, but it's also quite corporate and it's okay if today is not a hallmark occasion for you.

I'm with you and I.

I've so much love and compassion for anything that you're feeling good or bad today.

Now speaking of compassion the reason I've chosen to re-release today's episode is because it's one of the most meaningful episodes on the entire podcast and it's one of the only times I've cried and found it really hard to keep myself together.

And it's because I was so moved by the beautiful and incredible human being who sits down with me and aim is Josephine Norton and she started she was one of the founders of Choose Love which is one of the world's leading charities and organizations for refugees.

They provide everything from sanitary towels to heating products to hygiene products to health care to ambulances to rescue people in war torn countries that they are fleeing from.

They also help pay for legal fees for anyone seeking immigration council and every penny that you spend goes to those refugees to helping those refugees and because she's a friend of mine I can say that with confidence.

Her story of how she went from being someone who was essentially quite a party girl to one of the world's leading advocates is so deeply terrifying and inspiring and makes you realize that nothing you've done before today can define you.
