Episode #102 On Your Own

September 8, 2021

This summer I did something I haven’t done in a very long time – holiday on my own. It was amazing.

If you’re someone who thinks holidaying on your own is a sad and lonely affair to be avoided at all costs, think again. It is one of the most powerful things you can do.

Mykonos is beautiful and fun (and expensive!). But for all its beauty, it wasn’t the island that made my holiday, it was me: the time I spent with myself, the attention I gave myself and the things I rediscovered about myself that I’d forgotten. I made my relationship with myself a priority and it was just brilliant.

Episode 102 is about being On Your Own:

How important it is to spend time on your own
How valuable it is to spend time on your own
