Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

She took me to AA | Cathy Rentzenbrink
Q: So what impact did it have on you at the start of sobriety to have those people there who got it, but also got it in a way where they were very present in their support?
Their support helped balance the difficulties of giving up alcohol. Rentzenbrink valued having sober people around her and learned through therapy that she had used alcohol to feel permitted to express what she thought.
She took me to AA | Cathy Rentzenbrink
Q: So will you start by telling me, in this specific instance, where you were and what was going on at the time?
Rentzenbrink was meeting editors interested in publishing her first book about her brother's death when she began choking and found her water glass empty. Her editor Francesca noticed and handed over her own full glass without making a fuss.
A Glastonbury-goer paid for my massage | Gemma Cairney
Q: How has kindness shaped your approach to relationships and parenting?
Kindness in intimate relationships and parenting means ongoing support, honest communication, and a willingness to receive help as well as give it, all of which sustains family bonds.
A Glastonbury-goer paid for my massage | Gemma Cairney
Q: What does being kind mean to you, Gemma?
Kindness is a heart-led feeling that can be felt in the body, not just an idea, and it should come from a compassionate, authentic place.
A follower tracked me around the country | Paul Harris
Q: What does kindness mean to you in daily life?
Kindness is about leaving someone with a good feeling and also looking after yourself, because life is tough and we need to be kind to ourselves too.
