- Relationships are the often-forgotten piece of the longevity puzzle; science tells us that connection and forming meaningful relationships is key to helping us live better, for longer. Our relationships with ourselves, with others, and with the world are fundamentally important to our mental health. Join me in Episode #314 as I sit down with IN-Q for an exploration of creativity, self-compassion, and empathy.

Really loved this fresh episode full of vulnerability, courage and truth! Thank you for mixing it up with this. Love the diversity and depth of self insight you bring to the show Simon
I’m familiar with smart, knowledgeable, well-prepared Simon. He’s someone I can admire. It was lovely to meet a somewhat less varnished, more emotional, more vulnerable Simon. He’s someone I can like. Great guest also. 😊
Unexpected yet much needed episode :]
And I'm saying this as a rapper that feels more like a poet and that believes it is deeply therapeutical.
And a plant-based physical therapist hehe. Truly connected with both of you
This is very inspirational! Thanks for this, Simon! I always enjoy and find value in your content. 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful content from two special people. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤❤❤ So Beautiful. I'm saving this one to my playlist of favorites. I will listen to this again. Thank you.
You’re welcome
Wonderful! Thanks
Awesome, this is the first time I’ve met either one of you. I am a subscriber and I’m gonna look into that book.
Welcome aboard!
That was dope.
Loved it. I, too, was a secret, and in some ways I am still a secret.
So good thank you!
You’re welcome
Wow wow wow. Thank you x
You are so welcome
Can anyone find a written version of the poem. I downloaded his book on kindle but it's not in there?
"I would rather get into a staring contest with the sun, although I'll never get to see who won." Hmmmm.
