It is my absolute pleasure to host author Fiona Ferris on today’s episode! I am a huge fan of her books and was so excited to have an opportunity to talk with her.

We covered a lot during our discussion, here are some highlights:

-Using writing to calm a busy mind

-The impact our outside world has on our inside world

-Living intentionally in our home to create an environment that calms a busy mind

-Embracing a positive mindset and remembering we are creators of our own life

-Focusing on the bigger picture in the day to day

-If you don’t like something in your life, you can change it

-Ask yourself what you stand for and value, because knowing those answers offers clarity

-Make self development enjoyable

-Decluttering creates a peaceful environment

-Surround ourselves with the things we love

-Music can change your energy

-Schedule in time to rest

-Don’t leave YOU until the end

-Getting up early so you can move slowly and enjoy the peaceful morning hours

-Try embracing a European lifestyle to slow down and enjoy things like food & family more

Quotes by Fiona Ferris:

“I believe a positive mindset contributes to our wellbeing and that each of us has the brilliant opportunity to create our own incredible life.”

“What are the things you find beauty in? What are the things you enjoy and find value in?

Lean towards those.”

“Make life fun. Encourage and inspire yourself to live in a better way without being prescriptive.”

“Life is not meant to be a hard slog - we’re allowed to have fun along the way!”
