This week on Rise we are exploring a new format we are planning to introduce with our guests - a reflective exercise based around the letters R, I, S and E:
R - What does the word Rise bring up for you?
I - What inspires you?
S - What is your superpower?
E - What excites and energises you?
We loved hearing each other's answers to these questions and we can't wait to explore them with future guests.

We're back! Thanks to all our listeners for bearing with us while we took our own advice and dialled things back for a self-care break last month. We're now recharged and raring to go and this week is a good one. We're exploring the differences in how we perceive the world depending on where we are on the introversion/extraversion spectrum and how this fits in with how we look after ourselves and thrive in our lives.
