Hi everyone and welcome to Answerable Questions with Questionable Answers! Do you think it's rude to ask someone how much they earn? Would you be comfortable telling people how much you have in the bank? Is it ok to inquire as to how much rent or mortgage payments others pay? For many of us this type of chat can make us feel a little awkward or uncomfortable. This week the AQQA team discuss why talking about money is often off limits and whether that can be helpful or not. If you're a twitter or instagram type then find us here @aqqapod

Welcome one and all to Answerable Questions with Questionable Answers! On this week's pod we have a very special guest in the form of Laurence Mckenna. Laurence and the AQQA regulars talk about worry - why we do it, what makes us worry and how we go about dealing with worrying. Laurence speaks about his own past experience of repeated patterns of behaviour linked to fear and how he decisively dealt with them. Some unhelpful myths about worrying are discussed too and that wonderful quote from Marianne Williamson gets an airing. What more could you possibly want?
