Hello and welcome to the Slow Home podcast. This is the podcast all about learning to live a little slower in a fast-paced world.

My name is Brooke McCallory. Thank you very much for joining us.

And my name is Ben McCallery and welcome to episode 179 where you speak to the lovely Linda Esposito. I do. So Linda and I spoke on the podcast back in

November of 2015, so way back in episode 35. Good remembering. I know, just off the top of my head,

have a photographic memory when it comes to podcast episodes. So it was about time you had it back on.

It was.

So Linda is a psychotherapist who she does a lot of work online and she's the founder

of an organization, a website rather called Wired for Happy.

She's just fantastic.

Linda's a great person to follow on Instagram, social media. She writes a lot

obviously about mental health and happiness, anxiety. And as a practicing therapist as well,

she talks about a lot of the strategies that she works with her clients on in terms of, you know,

mental health and contentment and strategies. What I really like about Linda is that she's

practical and not afraid to talk about the uncomfortable things publicly. I mean, obviously she's

not talking about specific case studies, but Linda's just, she's awesome. Plus, she said nice things

about my voice, which made me feel good.

Oh, that's lovely.

It is, because I have such a complex about my voice.

So how does this conversation differ to your last one?

It doesn't.

It's exactly the same.

Oh, okay.
