Alistair has worked with those with enormous challenges in the world: high-performance business leaders, gold medal-winning Olympic and professional athletes, and people close to being homeless. In this episode, we talked a lot about the importance of anger and noticing what’s going on in the body, as the intelligence of the body is a rich source of feedback. We can use this feedback in relationships as an understanding of when things are appropriate or when boundaries have been overstepped.
