The yellow brick road is a fabulous analogy of the different journeys in our lives.  But how tempting could it be to take a short cut?  We all have our own personal witches that we want to avoid, but would we even do this by cutting some corners?

In this episode I explore what might be going on for Dorothy and her friends as she makes her way to the emerald city.  I introduce a different defence mechanism and share the motivation behind the name of the podcast.  And James Bond seems to be queuing at the Hanger Lane gyratory system?

Here are the highlights of this episode:
