This week, our guest is Maddy Robinson from Yoga with Maddy. Maddy is a yoga instructor (among other things) with a passion for sharing accessible yoga - more about the holistic benefits and less about the showy positions. We got into a wide range of topics, from forcing yourself to be a superwoman when it comes to diet culture, through healing journeys and how boundaries can set us free.

In the episode we discuss:

• What accessible yoga actually is (4:09)
• The pressure to act like a superwoman (6:16)
• Our views on "diet culture" (6:53)
• Acts of service - giving to ourselves vs to others (11:39)
• Recognising our brain's hidden "programming" (14:27)
• The problem with "casual" self-care advice (16:00)
• What radical honesty is and why it's important (19:55)
• Maddy's journey with kinship foster caring (21:52)
• What boundaries changed for Maddy (27:04)
