What Makes Us, Us?

Why do kind, loving women turn into "keyboard warriors" online? Avril unpacks the wave of cruelty aimed at the new PM's wife this week, and why the women posting it are often the same ones showing up with meals and school pickups for their friends. Avril connects this to her own recent recovery from lung cancer surgery, the unconscious motivators we form in early childhood, and the difference between operating from your "best self" versus your "shadow self." She also revisits her three boxes framework and shares her own adoption story to explain why your past shapes you, but doesn't have to script you.
