Hello, guilty feminist, this is Deborah.

I don't know about you, but I feel quite burnt out and busy at the moment.

And I really could use an extra hour in the day. Now sometimes taking an extra hour to do something

like exercise or take out time for myself actually means that all the rest of the hours are way more productive so I end up with 10 free hours

because I've taken one for myself and there's nowhere that's more true than with therapy

but I was used to end up postponing or cancelling therapy

because I had to travel there, stand outside my therapist's house and the rain, travel

The great thing about Better Help is I just turn on my camera and it's right there online.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give Better Help a try. They provide access to UK mental health

professionals with a wide variety of expertise, no referral needed, and you do not have to leave the

house because they're right there on your laptop or phone so you can do it at an

odd time that suits you, you can do it and have a nap right after, you can do it while the kids are in the other

room, you can do it while you're on your exercise bike pedaling very slowly if you need to double up on stuff.

While you, I don't know if you're allowed to do it while you're in the bath, but it's the kind of thing I would ask if I could do, probably not. Our listeners get 10% off their first month at better help.com slash T g f that's better help

looked as if I wouldn't be able to get into the country to play sold-out shows. I never have made it

back to Boston. Sorry Boston listeners. I know you were ready for me but the visa
