I think the language has to be softer round it. And you have to be kinder to yourself. The Voice is doubt and you can tell it that you don’t care, you’ve got work to be getting on with and perhaps they should go and bother someone else like Robert Jenrick, perhaps?

Absolutely loved this and by coincidence am slap bang in that space where the voice is telling me ‘no’.

I watch this snippet of @pattonoswalt.bsky.social once in awhile & it’s oddly very inspiring. Also the whole off camera series is great.

TREK BATH IS THE BEST BIKE SHOP IN THE WORLD. Claire recognised my bike on the way in to work and said “that’s not meant to be there” and TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP!! They called me and refused any sort of finders fee. I do not deserve people like this.
