This episode is a treat. Comedian and actor Thanyia Moore tells me about her journey towards a better work/life balance and making better decisions for herself, every day. She proper shamed my morning routine too (which basically involves coffee and shouting at Radio 4). It’s not good enough and I will fix up!

42. Jimmy James Jones – Keeping Athena Company
https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-xscf8-114a501
Jimmy James Jones and his mate Karz came round to eat fried plantain and talk about depression. How can you talk about depression whilst partaking in one of life’s greatest pleasures? How can you not? The Keeping Athena Company table is the perfect place to talk about career lows, embarrassment and being bad at decorating. This was one of the most surprising and wonderful conversations. It’s full of honesty, humility and gratitude and I can’t wait for you to hear it.
