Show Notes
Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!
In this episode, Learning to Listen, our hosts Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Andrew Tresidder are joined by health writer and consultant Sarah Stacey to discuss how learning to listen is a lifelong pursuit, why listening is important for our wellbeing and how listening well has helped Sarah throughout her illustrious career as a health writer on the national stage.
