About this episode

This episode explores the feelings of disconnection from life and how to reconnect with meaning and presence through a conversation with psychologist Dr Louise Lambert.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just going through the motions of life… this episode is for you. On the outside, everything might look good. You’re doing what you’re “supposed” to do.
