That’s something I wanted to unpick with Priya Joi, who writes for New Scientist and the World Health Organisation, during our conversation.Priya’s life lessons are informed by a period of chronic fatigue in her 20s that left her housebound and wondering if she’d ever be able to travel or live the life she loved, again.Priya’s rational and compassionate view of life and what it throws at you is a real pleasure to listen to.Priya’s book Motherland is available now. To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Hey!
