    Celebrating Ourselves | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    Celebrating Ourselves | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    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.

    Spending Money on Ourselves | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    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?

    Focusing on what we can control | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    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?

    I Hear You | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    I Hear You | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

     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.

    I See You | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    I See You | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

    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.
