In honour of Stress Awareness Month, The Happier Life Project joins forces with The Motivation Mindset podcast for a special crossover episode—bringing together two powerful platforms to explore practical ways to manage stress, boost mental well-being, and reclaim your calm.

Risa Williams, psychotherapist, time management coach, author, and host of the award-winning productivity podcast The Motivation Mindset, joins us to mark Stress Awareness Month 2025 and this year’s theme, #LeadWithLove, by diving into her empowering latest book, 'Get Stuff Done Without the Stress'.

In this episode, host Gabby shares some of her favourite tools from the book, while Risa explains the psychology behind why they work so well. Risa also offers strategies for shifting away from hustle culture, toxic productivity, and harsh self-talk, guiding us toward approaching our goals with kindness, calm, and clarity.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your to-do list, burned out by pressure, or stuck in a cycle of procrastination, this episode is for you. Risa shares science-backed, self-compassion-fueled strategies to help you reclaim your time, protect your mental energy, and get things done—without sacrificing your peace of mind.
