In this episode I pay homage to National Day of Hugging. We take for granted the proximity we have wither those around us. Many people do not or are afraid of closeness since the Big C hit back in 2020. 

I share some insight into the benefits of hugging from an emotional, mental and social level and how you can use visualisation to get you through those tough times when there is nobody around to hug. I encourage self compassionate hugging and challenge you to go and hug a friend, partner, neighour (with consent) and to enjoy the exchange and embrace while you can.

 
I rounded off the episode with some very fitting reminders from our advice and encouragement card deck (available to purchase again from our shop in early 2022):
1. Learn to be accepting of the things that are building you. They may not look how you envisioned them
2. If you did it once you can do it again. You possess the strength of a 1000 of you
3. Learn to appreciate the value of a pause. This allows you to be free to just exist
