Big Happy Life

For many of us, the critical voices in our minds can become damaging enough to drive us into a downward spiral that ultimately leaves us feeling depressed and powerless.

That's what happened to me recently and is also the reason I haven't recorded a new podcast episode in over 3 months. 

If you're feeling depressed and you're judging and criticising yourself, I hope this episode offers some inspiration to start moving towards self-compassion and kindness. 

I have more to learn about these things and will share any tips and ideas that help along the way.

The summer holidays can put enormous stress on us as parents when we're trying to juggle everything and still do our best and be our best. 

In this episode, I share 5 tips to help you prepare in the lead up to the holidays as well as rebalance, rejuvenate and re-energise yourself when everything is going on around you.

This is the final episode in the series. The new series starts on 25 August 2021.

In this episode I talk about how I found out that some of my healthy choices (and of course my unhealthy choices) are actually contributing to my low energy, poor sleep and intermittent bouts of depression.

It all came from something called a Hair Tissue Mineral Sample. I explain what that is and share a few of my results. If you feel as though you're doing "everything right" and still not feeling that much better, this episode is for you.

This week, I had the great pleasure of talking to Hannah Richards, owner of The Gut Clinic and author of the supremely fascinating book, "The Best Possible You".

Hannah shares her incredible - and often controversial - advice about improving gut health and offers really useful advice about the signs of vitality and the signs of ill health that we should all be on the lookout for.

This week, I had the enormous pleasure of talking to Sharon and Lauretta Gavin, owners of the Detox Barn in Suffolk.

This was one of my favourite episodes to record as the sisters are also a comedy duo and bring a much needed dose of ease, fun and clarity to the complex world of wellness. 

You'll find some fantastic, thought-provoking tips and ideas to help you on your journey towards greater wellbeing, no matter where you are on the path right now.

This episode forms the start of a new mini-series where I explore what it takes to feel your best - and exactly how good is that?

In this episode, I share some of the habits I've invested in that have helped me feel stronger, happier and calmer.

In future episodes, I'll delve into the details of habits and practices that allow us to feel our best and aim to understand how much better we can expect to feel and how much time, effort, energy and money we'd have to invest to get there.
