Comedian, writer, and broadcaster, Romesh Ranganathan, joins Gabby to talk about how he’s learned to manage his inner critic in the years leading up to the midpoint; why he loves making people laugh; plus, the sometimes complex relationships you have with your parents, and how that can impact the way you parent.

Romesh also shares what happened at his worst stand-up gig, what he thinks is key to a happy, long term relationship, and why he believes small changes are the key to lasting health gains in midlife.
