This episode was recorded just before my diagnosis and it is helping me get through my healing journey and with getting used to a new normal for life at the moment. No matter where you are or what you’re going through right now, this podcast is relevant for anyone going through change whether it’s in the workplace or life.

The roads you've travelled may influence you, but they don't have to define you. With self-control, you are in charge.

Dr. Jane Foster, our guest for this podcast episode, believes that we may be unable to control people and circumstances, but we can always learn to control how we respond to them.

Dr. Foster is the Founder and Director of Emotional Resilience Training. She's also an educator, researcher, presenter, and author of It's in Your Hands: Your Steering Wheel, Your Choice. She holds a PhD in Health and Education and is qualified in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu, and Yoga.
