Shula Bayton will hate the title of this podcast and being described as a 'hero' because she's deeply uncomfortable with people making a fuss of her (you will be able to feel her discomfort after the intro!!).

However, as discussed in this podcast, I am like exposure therapy to emotions for her, and she is like the best grounding sheet in the world for me. And I am determined - regardless of how uncomfortable she feels - to sing her praises because she makes life better for so many people around her.

They say, after all, that surrounding yourself by good people is the best way to improve your life. And, in my opinion, people don't come more good or well-meaning than this human (again, Shula will be currently cringing... but we will press on!).

I loved this wide ranging chat in which we cover: her upbringing in Zambia, boarding school in Edinburgh, purpose-led work, moving to the Scottish Highlands, the power of community when dealing with challenges like her son's illness, parenting, spirituality and nature.

By the end, I think she's enjoying herself and says she likes my challenging questions, what do you think?!

Hope you enjoy meeting Shula. Do say hello to her if you ever bump into her in Kincraig.
