The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life (Helen Calvert)

Welcome to the episode 46! ‘’I choose me as my friend and I am enough’’. This level of self-acceptance can take a lifetime to achieve, but I believe that with the right amount of positive self-talk, kindness and encouragement we can all become our own best friend. And what a great place to start when we decide to open our hearts to others! In this episode I talk about the importance of showing up for ourselves and how this can contribute greatly to a happier life.

In this episode:

• The attributes of a healthy friendship and why we need to uphold these values for ourselves.
• Why it’s important to befriend yourself – for the sake of your wider friendship circle and you.
• Owning your story and how this allows you to show up fully for yourself when times are tough.

 Welcome to episode 56. Our relationship with ourselves will deepen when we are ready to listen to our innermost thoughts and interpret them as the messengers for what we need to feel safe and content, rather than defining us as people at their face value. 'I hear you' - easier said than done? It takes trust and time to open up and truly listen to ourselves, but it’s a journey worth taking. Listen in as I talk more about the clarity and peace that will come as a result – the ultimate prize of loving, seeing and hearing ourselves.

In this episode:

• Feeling the fear – why you might find it uncomfortable to explore your thoughts on a deeper level, especially if it’s for the first time.
• Understanding how challenging thoughts about ourselves are just messages for our needs, values and boundaries.
• The conscious and unconscious mind – how and why your primeval brain is trying to keep you safe.

Welcome to episode 28. Today I’m delving into the practice of journaling. If you’re looking for an easily accessible, highly effective and budget-friendly tool for your happiness toolkit, journaling could be for you! Grab yourself a notebook, a cup of tea and a nice pen and give it a try. In this episode I share my experience of writing a journal (something I’ve done for a while now) and the benefits it can bring if you’re feeling like the inside of your head is more circus than spa. Enjoy!

In this episode:

• I share a few different journaling techniques to help you for different states of mind
• Why journaling doesn’t need to be perfect or consistent to be beneficial
• How identifying themes in your writing can help unlock the mindset blocks you may not have realised were holding you back.

Check out the gorgeous journaling kits and workshops available from Kimmy Drain at Nourishing Northern Mamas, mentioned in this episode.

Welcome to episode 21. Today we follow on from my last episode (fear and anxiety) and take a closer look at how other people’s fears can have a negative effect on our personal growth.

Fear is often routed in the feeling of not belonging or the fear of change, and although often coming from a place of love and protection, these comments and behaviours impressed on us by our society and, even more commonly by our family and friends, can be detrimental to us if we don’t see them for what they are and respond to them in the right way. Listen in if you’re wanting to grow and change but other people’s fears are holding you back from reaching your full potential.

In this episode:

• How we can recognise the affects other people’s fears have on us for what they really are.
• Exposing the common phrases people use that give their fears away.
• The boundaries you might need to enforce to keep yourself playing bigger.
• How switching focus away from yourself and talking about fears can open up healthy conversations about personal growth.

Welcome to episode 9. We’re back to business this week and I’m asking you a question - what type of boss are you? Many people set out to work for themselves after negative experiences working for a someone who treated them badly. Of course, self-employment brings many freedoms but I’ve seen many people get stuck in a downward spiral of resentment and demotivation because of the way they treat themselves as the boss of their own business. In this episode I share some key questions you should be asking yourself to ensure sustainable and long-term performance.

Main points:

• I’ll be asking, now you work for yourself, are you your own dream boss - to yourself and your team?
• How creating an ‘employee handbook’ for yourself is actually a brilliant idea and NOT just an excuse to buy new stationary!
• Why rewarding yourself and celebrating your wins is SO important.
• How modelling good self-management before you take on team members will filter into your team when the time is right, with nothing but good results.

Welcome to episode 45 of The No Bullshit Guide to a Happier Life podcast! Season three is promising to be a journey of self-discovery, so hold on tight and let’s get stuck in!

Taking time to stop and hold our own gaze long enough for our true feelings to rise up is no easy task, and something I bet many of us (myself included) would avoid whenever possible. But in today’s episode I’m challenging you to do just that. To look at yourself in the mirror, uninterrupted and ask ‘who am I?’. This series is all about exploring the relationship we have with ourselves and how accepting our emotions for what they are rather than letting them define us can give us power to live our lives without guilt, shame or judgement. So, are you pleased to meet you?

In this episode:

• Why we find it so uncomfortable to look ourselves in the eye.
• Distinguishing between our emotions and our behaviour.
• Why judging ourselves is the biggest barrier to getting to know ourselves.
• How acceptance is the key to letting go of the negativity and perusing a happier life.

Welcome to episode 43. Today I am talking about the wonderful Scandinavian concept of Hygge. For the winter months (with the welcome addition of cosy blankets, socks and candles) we often embrace Hygge a physical feeling of warmth and comfort, but it goes a bit deeper than that. In this episode I explore the positive benefits of creating this cosy environment for ourselves and our loved ones, and the mindset blocks that can hold us back from making the most of Hygge as a tool for when we really need it – no matter what time of year it is!

In this episode:

• The concept of Hygge as a ‘cosiness of the soul’.
• Why feeling safe and held is so important to our mental health.
• How Hygge can be achieved all year round – it’s not just for Christmas!
• Hygge for people who live alone.

Welcome to episode 95. Today, we’re discussing communication — the challenges neurodivergent people face and the strategies they use to navigate a world that can feel unfamiliar. We explore how thoughts and emotions are shared, and how autistic burnout adds to these struggles. Whether you're neurodivergent or neurotypical, this conversation aims to inspire empathy and strengthen our connections. Let’s dive in!

In this episode:

• Autistic burnout and communication — how it differs from life/professional burnout and its effect on my ability to communicate.
• The toll of miscommunication — the energy spent to be understood and its lasting impact.
• Why it all matters - how empathy in communication benefits us all, not just those who are neurodivergent.

 Welcome to episode 59. Trust can be the biggest factor holding us back from doing the things we really want to do. Do you trust your own judgements on what’s ‘allowed’? Who makes those rules? Where do they come from? In today’s episode I’m encouraging you to give yourself permission to be who you really are and explore all the opportunities life has to offer once you give yourself full, unrestricted permission. What would you do differently?

In this episode:

• All actions are choices. A fresh perspective on the relationship between risks, rewards and your values.
• How overcoming limiting mindsets can help you break free from old restrictions and embrace your power to live a fulfilling life.
• Owning your decisions – why you need to trust yourself, ignore judgements and live life on your own terms
• The importance of modelling confidence in our choices to our children.

Welcome to episode 34. In today’s episode I’m exploring the ideas and beliefs around creativity. What does creativity mean to you? For many people, taking part in a creative activity gives us an opportunity to let go of negative emotions and release tension that can build up in our minds and bodies. By throwing out the idea you need to be good at something to be creative can free us up to explore new and fulfilling ways of expressing ourselves. Listen in to find out more!

In this episode:

• How challenging our beliefs around creativity can open us up to new and exciting opportunities.
• Creativity as tool to release stress - how focusing on the process rather than the outcome can help us to live more in the moment and re-balance our emotional selves.
• How smashing the expectation that you need to produce an end product leads to more fulfilling creative experiences.

Welcome to episode 23. In this episode I am discussing one of the most anxiety-inducing topics of them all – MONEY! Does the idea of making or dealing with money make you feel uncomfortable? Money mindset is a big issue for the self-employed among us and particularly for women. If we want to overcome the issues, we need to give honest answers about where our beliefs come from. Join me for this episode where I share a great exercise for helping you identify your money mindset beliefs and some fantastic resources to help you along the way to feeling better and more in control about your finances.

In this episode:

• Getting clear on your beliefs about money is the first step to losing the anxiety around it.
• A re-frame of the real meaning of money and how 99% of our beliefs are just judgements or stories we tell ourselves.
• The price is right – how value judgements about our prices should guide us when we’re charging for our services.

Welcome to episode 15. This week I’m taking a good look hard look at relationships, and in particular our intimate and romantic relationships. I’m very aware of the narrative in our society that prescribes what a ‘normal’ partnership should look like, but what if this doesn’t work for you? What if you realise your relationship isn’t bringing any value or joy to your life? Would you have the strength to change the direction of your story and break from the norm?

Exploring the fact that the choices you made as a younger person might not be what you want in your life now is a difficult and potentially painful exercise, but an important one to carry out if you feel unhappy or unsatisfied. A good relationship helps us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. So, I’m asking, what’s the story you want to tell for your life?

In this episode:

• Choosing your own story – how society puts pressure on us to conform to the classic relationship narrative which can lead to unhappy and unfulfilling relationships which we later regret.
• How you have the ability and choice to change your situation at any stage of your life.
• I share a useful exercise to help you assess your current situation if you’re feeling unhappy or stuck.

Welcome to episode 39. Are you ready to go a bit deeper? This week I’m exploring three specific activities that can help you to dive deep below the surface of your busy mind, to help quieten the racing thoughts and find a deeper level of relaxation and release. These activities are Yoga Nidra, Floating and hypnosis. In this episode I explore my experience with each, explaining the many wonderful benefits, any potential bullshit elements and of course the mindset blocks that can hold us back from adding them to our toolkit.

In this episode:

• My account of the activities and what you can expect from each of them.
• Why the fear of what we’ll find often stops us from delving below the surface.
• How the act of going below the conscious mind can often reveal areas that ‘need work’, and the steps you can take if this is you.

Welcome to episode 49. If you’re self-employed you’ll be only too aware of the responsibility that comes with being your own boss, but do you feel comfortable with the level of authority you hold over yourself as a business owner? Do you feel the need to follow a set of prescribed rules in order to be ‘good’ or have you thrown the rule book out of the window? In today’s episode I explore these two common approaches to our own authority, their roots in our own belief systems and what to do if you want to be a better boss to yourself.

In this episode:

• Why having authority over our business lives can be liberating, but also overwhelming and sometimes confusing.
•      Asking the big questions - Why understanding what you want from your life is always the best starting point when you are your own boss.
•     Why using your authority to create a life that reflects your values and fulfils your ambition should always be the goal.

If you’re interested in diving deeper into these topics, please check out my online workshops. Full details can be found here.

Welcome to episode 14. The topic with probably the most bullsh*t surrounding it than any other - this week I’m talking about SEX. It’s such an important part of most people’s lives, it’s a vital component, so why don’t we talk about it more? What’s holding us back? Those who know me know that I have no trouble in talking honestly and openly about sex, so I’m looking forward to exploring this fascinating topic and helping you to get comfortable with communicating your own wants and desires so you can lead the fulfilling sex life you deserve.

In this episode:

• How opening up to your partner about your fantasies and desires can start a dialog that can lead to a more fulfilling relationship.
• My discovery of amateur porn – how this community is supporting the portrayal of real people and real sex as a healthy alternative to mainstream media and adult content.
• Take action - Your sexual satisfaction is an absolute right and also your responsibility, so start making changes to get what it is you need. Top tip - It all starts with communication.

Welcome to episode 38. Today I’m talking about how pleasure, both sexual and non-sexual, fits into your toolkit for a happier life - and there’s a lot to dismantle, especially when it comes to sex. Ideas around pleasure being something we should all be entitled to is something I strongly uphold, but indulging ourselves to numb pain and ignore the bigger issues can throw up some red flags. Join me as I talk about the triggers, the needs and the outcomes of embracing pleasure as part of your toolkit for a happier life.

In this episode:

• How our views on pleasure and indulgence are often shaped during our childhood – often with negative results, especially when it comes to sex.
• Knowing the difference between using pleasure as a tool to address a genuine need, versus indulgent pleasure to block out feelings or numb ourselves of a deeper pain.
• How society has built polarised stigma about how women should or shouldn’t experience sexual pleasure, and why it’s time to re-write your narrative so you can take pleasure in your body without the guilt.

Welcome to episode 6. Why is it so difficult to put into practice all of the advice we hear about being our best selves and running a successful business? The answer – most of us suffer from frequent overwhelm and lack of self-belief! This episode focuses on how these powerful mindset blocks need to be explored and broken down so you can feel back in control and make progress in every part of your business and your life.

Main points:

• How breaking tasks down into smaller, less challenging steps will help get your overwhelm under control.
• Realising you don’t have to be the expert in your business to get started and provide a good service to your clients.
• How impostor syndrome can rob you of your confidence and how to break the vicious cycle created by a lack of self-belief.

Welcome to episode 16. Are you one for setting so called ‘life goals’? There’s no right or wrong answer to this as everyone is different, but today I’m talking about how having a plan for something you want to achieve can be good for keeping you focused when life throws up its inevitable twists and turns. The way we approach our goals is something that has always interested me, so in this episode I explore how changing your mindset can bring you deeper satisfaction and get you closer to achieving your life’s dreams – if you have them!

In this episode:

• How switching your thinking to ask ‘how do I want to feel’ rather than ‘what do I want to do’ can make the biggest difference to getting what you want.
• How having a specific goal is good for focusing the mind and revealing opportunities that help signpost your way to something you want for yourself.
• Not having a life goal is also ok. For some it’s about the journey of life and what it brings.

In this episode I share the golden rules of self-promotion and how it doesn’t have to leave you feeling icky.

Main points:

• Talking to people is the best (and cheapest) form of marketing
• How finding your tribe leads to a higher conversion rate and better working relationships
• Tapping into your existing network, including family and friends can be good for business

Welcome to episode 65. In this episode we dive into the often controversial topic of money. Does your mindset around money clash with or compliment those who are closest to you? Balanced finances are key to making sure the needs of you (and your family, if you have one) are met, so let’s take a closer look at how we can distribute the household contributions fairly and budget for joy, so everyone has the opportunity to live a happier and more fulfilled life.

In this episode:

·     Your financial and non-financial input - money is just one contribution to a home filled with love. 

·      Investing in happiness - is it selfish to spend money on ourselves or is it an essential part of self-care?

·     Untangling our beliefs about money – do they serve you well or do they cause you stress and anxiety?

Mentioned in this episode, money mindset coach Holly Dannhauser.

Welcome to episode 13. The rewards of being a parent can be huge – the excitement, fun, adventure and potential for great personal growth are some of the unmissable benefits, but on the flip side there can be a lot of anxiety, frustration, exhaustion and often crippling self-doubt that can leave you in tatters. We all need an opportunity to switch off from the intense responsibility, to re-calibrate and restore ourselves, just as we need to switch off from our demanding day-job. This episode takes a reality check on the thoughts and judgements around parenting and how we need to normalise asking for help to get the break that we need.

In this episode we cover:

• Why taking a break from parenting is essential for our mental well-being and our ability to do the job well.
• The unhealthy and untrue belief held by some that if you don’t enjoy your children all the time you are a bad parent.
• How, much like in the world of work, everyone has different success criteria with their own parenting and shouldn’t judge or be judged.

Welcome to episode 42. The benefits of adopting a plant-based diet are promoted all around us these days, so how can we incorporate these changes into our toolkit for a happier life and what difference can they really make? In today’s episode I’m highlighting the many benefits of reducing our intake of meat and animal products – both for our health and the health of our planet, and how we can all make simple changes without adding extra pressure or guilt to our plate.

In this episode:

• The benefits of a more plant-based diet on our overall health and wellbeing.
• Also, the benefits to the wider environmental issues we currently face.
• How virtue-signalling isn’t the aim, but the act of doing good by ourselves and the planet gives us those undeniable feel-good vibes.
• How taking small steps and making small changes can take away the overwhelm and have a bigger long-term impact.

 Welcome to episode 53. Our self-talk is the backbone to our relationship with ourselves and the effect it can have on our lives is huge. What is your inner voice saying right now? Is it critical or judgemental, or kind and compassionate? The latter can take practice over time, especially if you’ve been subjected to criticism or judgement in your earlier life, but it’s well worth the work. Join me as I explore the positive changes that come when we decide to talk to ourselves with excessive kindness.

In this episode:

• Where did your negative self-talk come from? Is it time to examine the rules that define your inner voice?

• How self-talk can be used as a safety net to avoid criticism and the discomfort of upholding your boundaries.

• Examples of negative self-talk to look out for in ourselves and the alternatives that can transform the way we think about ourselves.

• When to ignore the self-doubt. The truth about perception and it’s links to your inner voice.

Welcome to episode 22. Today I’m talking about how we can achieve personal growth when the people around us are hindering our abilities to make the positive change or we believe we must behave in a limiting way. By keeping ourselves small, we are preventing the kinds of personal growth opportunities we need to live the happiest and most fulfilling lives possible. So how do we identify the behaviours that are holding us back (in ourselves and others) and how do we take action to stop or reverse it?

In this episode:

• How to identify the people who are keeping us small - how and why they might be doing it.
• How we can we help ourselves and support others to take up more space in a healthy and constructive way.
• Reassurance that changing our behaviour or calling someone out on theirs will only bring good things, there is nothing to fear.

Welcome to episode 41. Today I am talking all about social connection and why it takes up such an important space in our happier life toolkit. Do we take it for granted? If you were to suddenly loose your ability to connect with your friends or community, how would you feel? Having and maintaining regular contact with the right people floods our brains with oxytocin (aka the love hormone). It helps us to process the stress of our busy, often overwhelming lives by making us feel safe, capable and supported. Are you using this as a tool in your happier life toolkit?

In this episode:

• How positive social interactions help us to process stress.
• Why spending time with the right people is so important.
• Social connection is a necessity, not a luxury - do you agree?
• The importance of community and sharing our struggles.

Welcome to episode 64. Having a healthy relationship with ourselves is essential for the present, and crucial for our future. In this episode we deep-dive into the problems that arise when we try to control other people’s reactions and behaviour, often by sacrificing our own boundaries, values and needs. Spoiler alert, the result is rarely good! Showing up for ourselves, focusing on what we can control and choosing to walk away to protect our wellbeing takes strength and practice. Tune in for the no bullsh*t encouragement you need to be the best version of yourself and live a happier, more fulfilled life.

In this episode:

·      Controlling what we can – aligning our own behaviour, thoughts and actions to our values, needs and boundaries leads to meaningful change.

·      News flash - letting go of expectations and focusing on your own actions doesn’t make you a pushover.

·     Reframing our thoughts on other people’s behaviour - people are doing the best they can with the resources they’ve got. Is it your job to change them?

Welcome to episode 17. Today we’re talking about the metaphorical tools we all need on hand to lead a balanced and happy life. This episode is not about good habits, strict routines or consistency. From my experience, forcing these things upon yourself often leads to de-motivation and self-criticism – neither of which are helpful. Instead, I like to focus on having a variety of ‘tools’ in your toolkit, may that be exercise, meditation, or something as simple as a walk in the sun at your disposal. Above all, my message in this episode is about knowing you are worth the time and effort it takes to use these tools whenever you need them to help you feel good, feel motivated and be more productive.

In this episode:

• How consistency and creating habits is often too challenging for most people and can do more harm than good.
• Why lowering your expectations of what your body and mind needs to function day to day can be the key to a more satisfied life.
• How knowing when to use the right tools at the right time is so important – especially as we get older.

Welcome to episode 67. Imagine a life where you are unburdened by the pain of your past. Would there be space to fill with freedom and joy? How would you feel to release the shackles of past experiences and allow yourself the opportunity to heal? In today’s episode I explore the freedom and relief that can come from doing the work to release the heavy emotions that are weighing us down. Healing ourselves using acts of self-love and excessive kindness can be liberating in so many ways. Tune in to find out how to get started.

In this episode:

• The weight of things unsaid – how verbalising your feelings will unblock your emotions and make space for a happier life.
• Tuning into our younger selves – we now have the vocabulary to express ourselves in a way we couldn’t before, so explore your younger self. How did she really feel?
• Calling BS on toxic positivity – why we need to feel the pain, not stifle it to really heal.

Welcome to episode 19. Being in the moment is one of those phrases we can put in the ‘easier said than done’ category. We all know that ‘being in the moment’ or being ‘mindful’ is something we should be practicing in our daily lives but the truth is we’re often too busy to notice or too distracted to do anything about it. In this episode I talk about how we often ignore the opportunities for rest and recuperation we so desperately need because, if we’re honest, we’re simply all too scared to stop.

In this episode:

• How the three main states of being can be defined and how to identify your time to pause.
• What stopping really means and why it’s so important
• Why giving yourself permission to stop and be mindful is the hardest but most important step in being mindful.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode:

·       Debunking the idea that we can simply ‘’switch off’’ and relax when our free time allows.

·       The importance of transitions from one state to another and suggestions on how you can make these work for you.

·        Tuning in to your body – using your emotions as the signposts to your needs. How will you meet them?

Do you find it hard to reflect back on your achievements and to celebrate your success? If you do, you’re not alone. In episode 18 of The No Bullshit Guide to a Happier Life, I explain why reflection and recognition of your achievements (big and small) is so important to personal growth, but how our lack of worthiness and a natural disposition for thinking our lives should be ‘more perfect’ can often stop any meaningful reflection in its tracks.

In this episode:

• Why the only life comparisons you should be making are with your past self, not with other people.
• The key questions to ask yourself when you’re reflecting back on your life – some might not be what you think!
• Why recognising how far you’ve already come is so vital for personal growth

Welcome to episode 84. This episode is all about what you do when the list is complete. Firstly, it’s important to remember that the list is never really done – there will always be plans and projects, that’s just life… but when you've tackled your tasks for this day, what will you do with you time? How we use this precious window is up to us as individuals, but the key to maximising it should always start with us tuning in on our needs for this moment. Let’s dive in!

In this episode:

·      Nurturing your energy – the importance of listening to what you need, be it rest or adventure, your body keeps the score.

·       Embrace free time and find joy in the moment – learn how to actively fill your metaphorical "treasure chest" with meaningful experiences.

Welcome to episode 35. In today’s episode I’m talking about yoga. I have never committed to a weekly class, BUT it is an activity that I partake in frequently on my own terms and at my own pace, and this works really well for me.

In this episode:

• How stretching your body can help you feel fitter, stronger and calmer.
• Why some people may be put off by yoga and how to approach it if that’s you.
• Resources and suggestions to help you find a practice that’s right for you.

The online yoga videos I use regularly can be found here:

Welcome to episode 20. Living a modern life means you’ve probably experienced some sort of fear and anxiety at some point – even more so if you’re a business owner, so it’s important that we see these fears for what they really are and find a way to manage them effectively. In this episode I give my high-level view of how our unconscious minds are trying to trick us into the safe zone, and how you can override it to keep moving forward with your goals and dreams.

In this episode:

• How separating the fear from the anxiety is the first big step to move yourself forward.
• Why your brain is trying to stop you from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
• How making yourself feel safe is the key to nipping anxiety in the bud.

The success of series one has blown me away and I am delighted to be back for another series of episodes, this time with a difference!

In episode 17 I talked about Life’s toolkit, and so in this series we’ll be taking a deeper-dive into these tools, exploring the benefits of each; how they can contribute to a happier life; how appropriate they are and of course, any Bullsh*t elements you might need to navigate!

If you want to learn more about how activities such as laughter yoga, meditation and weight training (to name just a few) can work to reduce our stress levels and contribute to a happier life, tune in! I’ll be trying some of these activities for the first time and reporting back with my findings. Wish me luck!

In this episode:

• A reminder of the stress cycle process and the different ways those cycles can complete.

Welcome to episode 8. This week I’m talking about self-care, but I’m not referring to bubble baths and scented candles here. Have you ever stopped to think about how you talk to yourself in your own head? Would you talk to a loved one in the same way? If the answer is no then please give this a listen. Self-care is one of the fundamentals of a happier life, but it takes some practice!

Main points:

• How positive self-talk can feel awkward at first but is 100% worth it.
• Self-care can take the form of material goods too and gift-giving can change your perception of gifts from other people.
• Being kind to yourself is not enough – you need excessive kindness, and why not?!

Welcome to episode 96. Today, we’re diving deep into a crucial yet often misunderstood topic — autistic burnout. Drawing from my own personal experiences, this episode unpacks the emotional and physical toll of navigating a world not built for neurodivergent minds. We explore the vital need for extreme rest as a form of recovery, and the persistent self-doubt fuelled by societal pressures to "bounce back." Join me for an honest, insightful conversation about burnout, rest, and reclaiming compassion for ourselves. Let’s dive in!

In this episode:

• Understanding autistic burnout – How environments clash with neurodivergent needs and the exhaustion of constant adaptation.
• The importance of extreme rest – Why extreme rest is essential for healing, demanding a conscious choice to pause, reset, and prioritise well-being over daily responsibilities.
• Self-doubt and feeling like a fraud - How self-doubt fuels the fear of "faking it," and the need for excessive kindness in self-validation.

Welcome to episode 25 and my first episode in this new series where I focus on the different tools available to us as part of our ‘tool kit’ for living a happier life.

Today I’m talking about meditation. I hear many people say they are ‘too busy’ or ‘too hectic’ to sit and meditate for ten minutes – and as a fast-paced person myself I can totally relate! But that admission alone can be the biggest indicator that meditation might be just the thing we need.

Today I share my own experience of revisiting meditation for the purpose of this episode; the benefits it brought me when I committed to it for a certain period of time and the awareness and perspective I was able to apply to my daily life as a result.

In this episode:

• A reminder that your meditation practice doesn’t have to be perfect to be beneficial
• How using meditation as a circuit breaker can be a great way to regain control when you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed
• The different ways you can fit meditation into your busy life and the apps that are available to help you.

Welcome to episode 47. Our relationship with ourselves can be looked at from many angles. In this episode I’m exploring the benefits that can come from consciously deciding to parent ourselves in a way that nurtures our wellbeing and supports us wholly as the people we are. Let’s take a closer look at our experiences as a child, good or bad, and how we can adapt or adopt these to have the best possible relationship with ourselves – for our own benefit and for that of our children.

In this episode:

• Why our relationship with our parents can often be triggering, and how to heal from your childhood experience.
• A closer look at positive examples of good parenting and how we can apply this to ourselves.
• Breaking the cycle. How having an awareness of our own parents’ flaws can allow us to make conscious decisions about how we treat ourselves and our own children.

Welcome to episode 48. This week I’m talking about sex, intimacy and the awakening that can come from being your own lover. What stories have you told yourself since you became an adult? What messages were you given growing up? Shame, embarrassment and a sense of being un-entitled to our own sensual pleasure has plagued many of us from an early age, shutting the door on our relationship with ourselves as sexual beings, sometimes before it even started. In this episode I talk openly about how prioritising ourselves and understanding more about our own desires can open up opportunities to invite others on our sexual journey, enabling ourselves to share the intimacy that can contribute to a happier and more fulfilled life.

In this episode:

• Why losing your virginity is not actually the ‘big thing’ in your sexual journey.
• Getting turned on – connecting with your kink and learning to communicate it with others.
• A fulfilling sex life always starts with ourselves. Have you forgotten how to be your own lover?

In this episode I mention adult sex educator and coach, Ruth Ramsay. For more info visit her website https://www.ruthramsay.com/

Welcome to episode 36. What feelings arise for you around the subject of cooking? I’ve found it to be one of those very polarising topics, and I am at the uncomfortable end of the spectrum for sure! The value judgements we put upon ourselves around food and feeding our loved ones can be so ingrained that we miss out on the rich opportunities cooking can bring for creativity and self-care. In this episode I talk about my experience trying out two new recipes from scratch, exploring my mindset blocks attached to the process and the ways I alleviate the stress so I can enjoy cooking as part of my happier life toolkit.

In this episode:

• The pre-conceived ideas around cooking (often from our own childhood) that can hold us back from enjoying it in adult life.
• Why cooking is a great way to connect with people and how we can make it a less stressful experience.
• The realisation that cooking can be something we do on occasion, relieving the pressure to perform in the kitchen on a daily basis.
• How giving ourselves permission to let go of the guilt surrounding food can lead to a more enjoyable time in the kitchen.

Recipes I mention in this episode:

Chicken Tagine - Cooking on a Bootstrap by Jack Monroe

Welcome to episode 68. We’ve put in a lot of work exploring our relationship with ourselves this series, so it seems fitting to end on this episode. Let’s reflect on how far we’ve come and the amazing work we have done.

Today I am talking about how we can nurture ourselves by celebrating the big life stuff, but more importantly the small wins in life. How often do you celebrate yourself for those achievements? Our conditioning means it’s probably not nearly enough. Learning to give ourselves a pat on the back will lead to a better relationship with ourselves and as result a happier life, but it’s not always easy. Listen in to find out more.

In this episode:

• Reflecting on series three and our new perspective on the relationship we have with ourselves.
• Why our brains want us to fail – it’s up to us to switch the narrative.
• How resentment can be the by-product of neglecting our need for self-celebration.
• Meaningful ways of celebrate ourselves, without breaking the bank.

Welcome to episode 55. What happens when we shift the focus away from the usual negative body image rhetoric, to a more positive place that acknowledges and celebrates the amazing, unique things we can do? Today I’m calling out the bullsh*t around the standards we uphold in ourselves to look or perform a certain way; the misconception that changing ourselves physically will make us happier, and the transformation in our self-esteem that comes from believing that our uniqueness is actually the very thing that makes us attractive to others.

In this episode:

• Why changing our appearance doesn’t improve our happiness, but increasing our happiness 100% improves our appearance.
• Identifying and questioning your ‘perfect aesthetic’ – is it a healthy standard to strive for?
• Acceptance of the body you have and celebrating its capabilities is the key to contentment and a happier life.

We can often overlook the importance of spending time outdoors, but by taking the time to spend ‘quality’ time in nature we give ourselves time to slow down and appreciate the world around us.

• How taking time out in nature can help us to slow down and be in the present.

But how often do you take stock of what you consume and how it might be affecting your mental wellbeing?

·       Could giving up mainstream media be good for your health?

Welcome to episode 80. In this episode we’re exploring the concept of the "creative brain".

Welcome to episode 7. In this episode we are going deep! Self-worth is the central force of all the things we do and having it unlocks the door to a happy and fulfilling life.

Join me as I explore the reasons why we might be lacking in the first place and how working through these issues in a supported way could be the best investment you’ve ever made in your life.

Main points:

• How recognising your issues is the most important first step to gaining self-worth

Welcome to episode 52. What does the phrase "upholding your boundaries" bring up for you? In this episode, I talk about how our boundaries are intrinsically linked to our foundational values, wishes and needs yet we can still struggle to uphold them, often opting for people pleasing over the feeling of discomfort. How does this work for you? Join me as I explore the truths about boundaries and how you can banish the bullsh*t to live a happier, more balanced life.

In this episode: 

• Challenging the idea that our boundaries need to be defined or justified to others to be valid.
• Upholding our boundaries is an act of self-love – are you showing up for yourself?
• Exploring the discomfort that often comes with upholding our boundaries.
• Not all boundaries are created equal – how some can be subtle but just as important.

Welcome to episode 11. This week we’re talking all things team management. If you find yourself questioning your team’s passion, drive and commitment you need to take a step back and focus on a few key truths. Everyone is different and you can’t expect your team to match your drive for your business – it isn’t possible and actually, it isn’t fair. What you CAN do is motivate them as much as possible by setting clear expectations, rewards and consequences for when things go wrong. In this episode I highlight the exact things you need to implement to have a happy and motivated team, no matter what size it is.

Main points:

• Understanding what motivates your individual team members will unlock their productivity (spoiler alert – it’s different for everyone).
• Having clear expectations and rewards will help you team perform better – especially the rewards!
• Why rewarding yourself as the business owner is often overlooked and why you should start doing it now.
• Being crystal clear on your business values from the start and communicating them to your team is the foundation of all good team management.

Welcome to episode 83. Do I need an app? We’re served a constant stream of ads for tools and apps, all promising to streamline, automate and organise our busy lives. It’s very seductive. But the truth for a lot of us is that a new app isn’t the answer to an easier life. In fact, pinning your hopes on an organisational tool may end up making you feel more stressed! In this episode I explain why it’s the overwhelm that needs addressing first, and once you’ve done that, how to find the right tool that works for you as an individual. Let’s dive in!

In this episode:

·         Productivity apps aren’t for everyone, and that’s ok – it doesn’t mean you’re any less organised!

·         Why reducing your feelings of overwhelm should be the priority before you consider any app.

·         Trial and error – find an app that mirrors your brain, and remember – stopping and switching to a different one doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

In today’s episode I explore how and why we should dig deep into our belief system; the benefits that will come from this work and the positive affects it can have on our lives.

In this episode:

• Three practical ways you can identify your own core values.

• Using values to create a framework for life – who and what do you let in?

• How identifying our core values helps us to better understand our feelings and actions.

• Banishing the bullsh*t on judgement – why removing ‘should’ from our vocabulary in this work and being honest with ourselves is so key.

Welcome to episode 12. In this episode we’re exploring the notions of work/life balance and how this applies to the modern-day adult. Our time is taken up by so many commitments these days - Children, relationships, community, friendships – so it’s easy to see how we can quickly become overwhelmed and resentful when these things play for out time alongside our work commitments. Start balancing your obligations with things you desire and you’ll see a shift in your personal well-being.

In this episode we cover:

• How asking yourself what you want more of and less of in your life can help you visualise a better balance.
• Taking time for leisure will only ever be granted by you if you're a business owner – so make sure you claim it!
• How readdressing the traditional work/life timeline can lead to a happier life – you don’t need to wait to reward yourself.
• How bringing in more joy and contentment is key when life gets stressful.

Welcome to episode 27. For me, getting into weight training has had a huge impact on my physical strength but most importantly, it’s massively strengthened my mental health too. Join me for this episode as I explore the many benefits weight training can have on your body and your mind; the misconceptions (i.e Bullsh*t) people have around women who practice it and the mindset blocks that might be holding you back from giving it a try.
