Redundancy, whether expected or out of the blue, can be a huge dent to your confidence and cause tremendous stress for all concerned.  It's hard not to take it personally, even when it's not about you but a decision made in challenging economic conditions, or following a merger and acquisition.  But it doesn't have to mean the end of the world.  In this interview I am talking to career transitions coach Ollie Holloway about how to come through it, not just in one piece, but having it work in your favour.

Moving house is one of life's biggest stressors. So today I am talking to expert Liz Hunt about why and what you can do to make it less stressful - because nobody wants a stressful situation to be worse than it needs to be :)  

When we moved ourselves once, I packed cups, kettle, tea and coffees with sandwiches and snacks in one box, towels, soap and loo roll in another, and all bedding in another.  We made sure the bed and the sofa were offloaded first and were able to sit down with a coffee and a cake and relax into a welcoming bed at the end of the day.  And when we were caught short, we weren't caught short :)  I also cleaned and prepped the new house while the removals were going on.  Knowing me, I probably had a plant in the kitchen too!  It was a remarkably smooth move and the house looked pretty homely from day one.  Logical loading and unloading is key if you are doing it yourself.  But, better still, have the right people supporting you.  And make sure you don't compromise on the home you are buying:  your home is your sanctuary and it needs to feel right to you as well as tick all the boxes.

We all get stressed - it's a natural part of life.  And the more ways we have of managing it, the better.  But not many people know the soothing effects of art on stress levels.  Not only that but it is a wonderful way to access mindfulness.  It also fosters more self-insight and helps you to express yourself in ways that words don't always achieve, connecting you to your deeper self.  Art can be considered a respite from whatever is stressing you out.  And, if, like me, you want your art to be perfect, it can also help you deal with your perfectionism in a more accepting way, says art and wellbeing coach Rebecca Bush in this lovely interview.

If you have ever been to the doctor with pain, or some other medical condition, and they have said there's nothing wrong with you, all the tests are clear, you can be forgiven for feeling that it's all in the mind.  It can be very stressful to know there is something wrong and be told that you are fine.  So, is it all in the mind?  Yes and no.  I talk with therapist Carole Randell about the stress of having unexplained symptoms and how body and mind are completely linked:  your body can speak your mind.  We share some stories which illustrates this perfectly and give you tips on how to manage stress around this complex issue.
