Summary

Louise and Ryan are back from holiday and have a LOT to share with you…


In this episode, Louise shares how a trip to Croatia has made her rethink how she presents herself in social situations and Ryan reveals his hacks for having meaningful conversations with literally anyone - hint: it involves…magic goggles?


Plus, a recent book recommendation has Louise and Ryan considering the importance of making decisions from a place of inspiration (not desperation!) and the pair answer a listener’s submission: She said “Can you handle being a bridesmaid?”.


The book Louise and Ryan discuss is ‘Don’t Believe Everything You Think’ by Joseph Nguyen.


Send your voice memos or stories to [email protected] for Louise and Ryan to address your dilemma on the show.
