I'm horrible for arriving at stuff three hours early because then I know I'm there. The moment I knew that Matt was the right man for me was the first time we went on holiday together and he was absolutely on board with us being at the airport three hours early. If I haven't booked a nearby hotel I've been likeabsolutely oh yeah if it's a morning flight I'll definitely do that definitely. Even if it's quite a late morning flight I'm tempted to fly out in the middle of the night even though my attention is going to be occupied by something else until I have done the travel. You don't have to do six hours of work at home before you drive two
Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.
This week Katherine chats to Angela Barnes, podcaster, comedian and regular panel guest on Mock The Week (and much more!).
Angela Barnes has zero tolerance for anyone reassuring her that she's pretty - it talks over her lived experience, and does nothing to change her self-perception. Here, she discusses living with Persistent Depressive Disorder, which has made her whole life feel like the drizzly English climate, but which has also made her more able than most to endure the hard-knocks life of a stand-up comedian.
A very cheerful chat which always zeroes in on the important points with lazer focus, picking up on where Angela is in the greater pandemic situation, working with her PDD, building daily frameworks, having a comedy tribe which normalizes certain behaviours and actions, fear of rejection, CBT, entitlement, TV, the perils and - well, perils of social media, and the notion of beauty on a grand scale.
