Susan has been really unwell recently, which led us into a deeper conversation about illness — what it might be trying to tell us, and whether the way we think about our future health plays a role in healing.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Well, That’s Awkward</em>, we explore the power of thought, the idea of imagining a future version of yourself who is well, and ask whether constantly trying to stay in the present moment has its limitations when you’re struggling.</p><p>Rachel also shares insights from a thought workshop at Sculpture by the Lakes that is shaping how she thinks about the mind, intention and wellbeing.</p><p>As always, the conversation is honest, reflective… and yes, there are a few awkward moments along the way.</p>","author_name":"Rachel Branson & Susan Osman"}
