'The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world'
- Toni Collette
The first and most important relationship is the one with ourselves. Our past experiences have shaped the person we are now. But that doesn't mean that defines us, and it doesn't mean we can't ditch those habits or negative beliefs that really don't work anymore.
By having a deeper understanding of ourselves, we are more able to create much better relationships with others in our world, whether personal, romantic, or professional.
My guests come from varied backgrounds and share their stories and experiences. Maybe similar to yours, or giving you a different perspective.
So why not sit down, grab a cuppa and choose one of the episodes to listen to.

About Richard
Two decades of supporting and encouraging families has taught me that I am not a perfect dad!
Having three lively and energetic children has taught me I’m not a perfect dad too!

I am not perfect, but I am awesome at being me as a father, which means I’m a great dad. This is the gift I offer other parents.

But beyond all this, who am I?
Who I am is: an honest, fun and passionate person, with the guts to talk about those part of life others shy away from. I’ve the courage to ask questions that will help people discover solutions to their problems and grow in self-confidence and self-belief.
I am dog lover who made sure all three of his kids could rap along with Ice Ice Baby once they had mastered the word calibrate!
To be honest I’m best experienced in person rather than through words on a page, why not arrange a skype with me.
