I've been working with a nurse dietitian for the last six months, and it's been life-changing. I've lost weight, healed my relationship with food, and have way more energy.

Sometimes our expectations of what will happen next are spot on, and other times we miss the mark. All of the stories in this hour deal with the goals we set for ourselves and how we hope things might unfold. Our first story comes from Benji Waterhouse.
If you've ever been to a main stage event, you'll know that we bring people to the stage by sharing their answer to a question that we pose to all the storytellers. It's an icebreaker that introduces us to the teller as they make their way to the stage. So borrowing from that, when I asked Benji, when was a time your expectations did not meet up with reality?
He said, when I was working as a doctor for the National Health Service and realized it was nothing like the TV show Scrubs. Live from the Union Chapel in London, here's Benji Waterhouse.

Into my fresh notebook, I wrote, keep patients alive. And then I underlined it.
