From our friends at Personal Best (CBC) —
Personal Best from CBC celebrates small ambitions, half-wins and the quiet satisfaction of getting less bad at things. Each week they help ordinary people work through the little things they’d never bring to a life coach — like having the courage to dine alone at a fancy restaurant or getting less awkward at handshakes. Let them be your self-improvement sidekicks! In this episode, you’ll meet Will who likes the simple things in life, but is haunted by a fear of commitment. Only a very special shawarma can break the curse. More episodes are available at: https://link.chtbl.com/HcfhFnRc
