Welcome to my new series on Through the Looking Glass, called Heart to Heart Conversations; connecting with heart to surf the uncertainty, anxiety and addictions of the 21st century. My first Heart to Heart Conversation is with the warm, wonderful and wise Luke Cook, AKA Cookie.

If you can bear with my babble rubbish, I invite you to listen in to gather golden nuggets of wisdom from Cookie's big life lessons, how he's learned through listening to the stories of others, when and how to say no to technology to deepen your connections and how to flex your conversation muscles to be more present and engaged.
