• Walk and Talk - Affective Forecasting

  In this Walk and Talk, I dip into the fascinating world of affective forecasting - the way we predict our future feelings and how those predictions shape our choices. From holidays and hikes to dentist appointments and morning coffee, our brain is constantly making emotional predictions. Yet the science shows we are not always as accurate as we think.As we explore the components of valence, specific emotions and intensity, I share how understanding these patterns can help us make wiser, more aligned decisions in daily life and in the bigger picture.

• Walk and Talk - Mindset, Identity and Ageing

  Today I wander through an idea that has been bubbling away for a while - ageing and identity. I share a sweet adventure with my mum, Hazel, a few reflections from friends and colleagues, and a lens from Brian Lowery’s Selfless that invites us to see how others shape our self-image across the years.Together we explore a mindset that supports vitality: staying curious, building social connection, moving our bodies in ways we enjoy, and contributing so we feel a strong sense of mattering. You will also hear nods to Lucy Ryan’s Revolting Women and the wisdom of Anne Riches.
