About this episode

Helen discusses the concept of rewilding the self after life crises with guest Catherine Asta and addresses university admissions stress.

After a major life crisis - illness, loss, trauma, or even a quiet but profound shift - there’s often an expectation that we “get back to normal.” But what if normal no longer exists? Helen asks Catherine Asta, author of Still Living: Rewilding the Self After the Climb  Plus, we settle some nerves, asking the experts about university admissions and exam season stress.
