A new series where James Cathcart chats to informed, funny and wise experts about how our minds, bodies and breath interact in that pattern of tissue and synapses and bits of bone and soul that happen to make you — you.

In this episode he talks to runner, walker, kayaker, minister, and absolute dynamo: Amanda MacQuarrie. Get practical tips on tuning in to your mind and find out: how a hurricane was instrumental in her becoming a minister, just how susceptible James is to confirmation bias, and that the key to finding yourself might just be realising that you’re in the movement of something else… Thanks to Mark Russell for the music and Jack Steel for the cover art.
