In this episode of The Mind Full Podcast, I’m joined by Cass Dunn - and this one really lands if you’ve ever woken up in a foul humour and thought, “Right… today is not exactly screaming joy.”

Cass is a Psychologist, coach, and host of the Crappy to Happy Podcast, and she brings such a refreshingly honest take on what it means to feel okay. We talk about how real resilience isn’t about being happy all the time - it’s about learning how to handle the tough stuff without running from it.

We get into why chasing happiness can actually make us more anxious, why avoiding difficult thoughts only amplifies them, and how sitting with discomfort might be the most powerful shift we can make.

What stayed with me is this: you don’t need to fix everything to live a good life. Sometimes, it’s about staying in the mess and trusting that it will pass.
