You Are Not A Frog

How to Find Peace and Happiness, Even in a Life You Haven't Chosen


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself questioning whether you’re on the right path? Or maybe you’re struggling to find meaning in what you do? So many of us feel like we are stuck in a neverending climb in our careers. Whenever you get to a point like this, it may be time to re-assess and reprioritise your life. 

When faced with unwanted events, go back to your ‘why’ to discover how you can change your circumstance or perspective.

Dr Maddy Du Mont joins us in this episode to discuss how her COVID-19 experience changed her life away from clinical practice. Although difficult at first, her reprioritisation made her feel free and at peace. She shares questions that will help you find clarity on your priorities. 

Change doesn’t require a life-changing event, nor does it have to turn your life upside down. It be can just simply changing your mindset and feeling at peace with your decisions.

If you want to know how to find peace and happiness in your life, stay tuned to this episode.
