James will share insights from his own journey, as explored in his book The Inherited Mind, reflecting on mental health, trauma, and the science of what we inherit from our families. Can we cultivate a joyful mind no matter what our past holds?

With warmth, honesty, and humour, she’ll explore how we can all embrace new beginnings, prioritise our mental wellbeing, and step into the happiest version of ourselves.
