How unhelpful, or helpful, is that little person inside your head? Let us guess - more likely to be extremely unhelpful, right? This week, climate activist, executive coach and educator, Julia Blaison, helps us disassociate and recognise that we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to being not at our best.  Discussing the theories and science behind negative bias, memories and threat states, saboteurs show up so differently in people, and it's how we use mindfulness and self-awareness to understand them better.  As neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barett said, "people don't lie about who they are - they rather lie to themselves in your presence."
