Ever struggled to set boundaries in your life? If this sounds like you (and – let’s face it – it's most of us), then this week’s episode, starring ‘The Joy of Being Selfish’ author Michelle Elman, will prove an absolute saviour. Michelle is a life coach and body positive activist, best known to her 300,000 social media followers for her global Scarred Not Scared campaign. Fascinatingly, we recorded this episode London to Hong Kong – where Michelle was beginning a 14-day stay at a quarantine hotel until a strict set of rules (she wasn’t even allowed a room key to enable her to leave). Still, Michelle is full of energy and sage advice: we discuss everything from her unique self-love mantra – ‘I’m going to love myself and not make it anyone else’s job’ – and the importance of alone time for learning to love yourself. We also have a candid conversation around the loneliness that comes from setting boundaries in your relationships with others. Finally, we discuss Michelle’s love of paddle boarding – which is, for her, the ultimate alonement.
