I love being near big trees and even living in London there are some parks you can lose yourself in, I go to the Isle of Wight a lot. My dogs absolutely eat my time but they are vital to me especially now that my children aren't toddlers anymore because they demand I stay in the moment. The physical touch of a dog, of an animal that wants to be near you, it's so incredibly soothing. Walking like I talk about exercise a lot and people go I'm not really one for running has been very very healing.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, we bring you a special episode: Shaparak Khorsandi in conversation with Isy Suttie live from Lattitude Festival.
Shaparak joined us to discuss her latest book, Scatter Brain: How I finally got off the ADHD rollercoaster and became the owner of a very tidy sock drawer.
The two also discuss the subtle distinctions between shame and embarrassment, memories of climbing a pear tree, the life-changing power of an ADHD diagnosis, and how being on I’m A Celebrity gave her a spiritual experience.
