Happiful: Finding What Works

Happiful: Finding what works is coming on Wednesday 30th August. Join us as we explore mental health and wellness topics with professionals and those with lived experience.

From relaxation to friendship, we’ll ask what it means for something to ‘work’ for us and what tools can support us. After each conversation we’ll make space for you to reflect before moving on in our exhale episodes - creating a more mindful way of consuming content. Subscribe to join the conversation. 

Anna Richardson, TV presenter, producer and podcast host of It Can’t Just be Me, shares her thoughts on managing the mental health impacts of the menopause, to the joy of being a Queenager, her spiritual practices, what led her to train as a cognitive hypnotherapist and the transformational power of therapy.
