It’s also the title of the 1986 film starring Robin Williams, and mentioned in several of his other famous films including; Hook, Mrs Doubtfire and Dead Poet’s Society. Our mutual love and appreciation for the late great actor, acts as a gentle vehicle for both the harrowing heaviness and belly laugh hilarity of this episode.

-The byproduct, when our empathy for others is far greater than it is for ourselves.
-The power of connecting vulnerably with people we feel safe with, to alleviate shame.
-How Mark political satirism and comedy is often sparked by anger and disappointment.
-The online vitriol they’ve both received (anonymous opinions or networked abuse), how that’s affected them and how they’ve handled it.
-The wonderful way blending nature and exercise helps to free the mind.
-Mark finally getting one up on an entitled shopper.
-How anorexia has impacted Grace’s life and journey.
-Mark’s incredible story where the onset of his physical ailments were simply his bodies stress responses telling him he had to make significant life changes.
