130 - In Conversation With Calum Best: From Scandals to Serenity (+ The Search for Love)

From billboards, wild nights, hangovers, blackmail and bankruptcy through to fitness, businesses and helping to heal the world just by being him, today, Louise is joined by great friend Calum Best as they dig into the truth about the well-mannered, well-moraled and well-tempered ‘man behind the screen’. The pair discuss:  Letting people see the ‘real you’ (and how everything changes when you step into this space) The rock bottom moments when you realize ‘somethings gotta change’ Thriving in the struggle vs. finding solace in peace, calm & quiet  How our coping mechanisms change and shift as we grow older (and wiser!) The importance of having purpose intricately weaved into life, and a career Calum’s deep-rooted fears from past abandonment, particularly linked to being the child of an alcoholic - and how he has been deeply shaped by both of his parents The pair also discuss whether Calum might be ready to find ‘the one’ and they query whether he is using being ‘too busy’, ‘building businesses’ and ‘wanting to be able to provide’ as a blockage for intimacy. ----- ⭐ Want weekly bonus episodes, access to our community room ‘The House’ + access to our ‘Ask A Therapist’ room?
