1.25 A teacher's journey

Teachers. Most of us probably have a favourite, or a not so favourite, from our old school days but Madi Dick-Naqova knows better than most how a teacher can shape you and the way you treat others.

For Madi, who suffered a traumatic hearing loss as a teen, one incident at high school still stays with her.

3:10 Feature interview: How and why you should listen to your feelings

There's a reason so many people struggle with anxiety, stress,  knowing our  boundaries and questioning our worth.  We've lost touch with the animal part of our mind says Australian author, psychologist, and family therapist Steve Biddulph. He's best  known for his work on parenting and raising boys. Biddulph says the latest neuroscience shows how important it is to listen to our big ugly feelings in order to deal with them. His new book, which he says will be his last  is called  Wild Creature Mind: The Neuroscience Breakthrough that Helps You Transform Anxiety and Live a Fierce and Loving Life.
