I live happily at both ends of the spectrum. Expansive, extrovert and centre-stage is how I lived during the first 20 years of my career, in the thick of it, in London. It was tough and stressful but, for the most part, I loved it. It took everything I had, day and night and my home was mostly for sleeping in. However, home has always been my sanctuary. And that’s the rub. I was conflicted, as I am equally happy being a recluse. I describe the dilemma in this audio extract of my book, 'The Ultimate Relationship… the one with yourself'.
