Feeling good isn't just for fun. It has many physical, mental and emotional benefits. Yet we keep prioritising the things that make us busy and stressed. What could happen if you refocused your attention to what brings you joy? This week I'm hosting a free 5 Day Feel Good Challenge. Each day you'll receive a daily joy experiment to workout your "joy muscle" and create more mental clarity and energy in your life. You can join at www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/feelgoodchallenge.

I first met Emmeline Boyce at my favourite little haven in London, Remind meditation studio, where she’s now the Head of Operations. I was immediately drawn to her gentleness and calmness. As we’ve gotten to know each other I’ve realised even more so how much of her gentle, kind nature is imbued in all she does. We got talking about her passion for creating a sense of community, how she’s adapted from a fast-paced “always saying yes” environment where she didn’t use her voice as much, to a gentler more loving approach to her professional life, why building a self-care system that honours you is so important and her big “aha” moment about being more bold in life. She also shares some great tips for getting more involved in your community and volunteering. Emmeline’s spirit for creating change in our personal lives and the world is infectious and you’re going to love being in her presence through this conversation.

What if the only reason you don’t have what you want right now, or don’t feel the way you want to feel, is because you haven’t asked yourself just ONE simple question? Often when you’re not moving forward it’s because you’re too focused on what you don’t want in life. We can rattle off how we don’t want to feel, but what about how you do want to feel? To experience more joy in your life you have to be ready to define what joy means to you – so you can actually notice it when it shows up. Want more JOY? This episode will give you the tool you could be missing to get you there faster, more often.

Nancy describes herself as a wife, daughter, sister, friend and “mom” to three furry creatures – saying she loves her job and can’t believe she gets to make a living from helping people live more calm, present lives. She spent lots of her life wondering if she really fit in because she was always doing things “differently” and never gave herself much of a break for doing so. After her Dad passed away she started embracing this “rebellion” more. Now a license counsellor, trainer and writer who supports people experiencing High Functioning Anxiety to live a happier life. We talk about how being a human can be messy at times, our inner critics (and what to do with them), and how embracing her “rebellion” made Nancy much more intentional (and happier) in her life.

Ever had those days (or months!) where you’re feeling completely out of control? Your to-do list is never-ending, you’re feeling pulled in multiple directions and that one thing you thought would solve everything just hasn’t happened. In moments of complete stress and overwhelm we start reaching for the best “fix it” tool to get us out of there. The only problem is we tend to reach for the wrong thing – which only leaves us more out of control. I’m sharing one simple shift that’ll give you back control and help you to recentre and find your calm again in this episode. Hint, it’s all about what I call “Choice Theory” and it promises to give you a sense of relief in times of pushing and overwhelm.

Ten years ago Patricia Panasri travelled to Thailand for the first time, ended up meeting her husband, having two kids, training as a yoga teacher, astrologer, and starting a business and living there for seven years. She says despite being a very rational and analytical person she makes mostly gut-based decisions in her life. Now back in home country (Holland) she guides mom entrepreneurs to create business strategies based on their inner compass, with practical and intuitive tools. We talk about how she made big decisions in her life, navigating post-partum and loneliness, what gut-decisions are all about and not hiding from the parts of us that really want to come out. This is juicy and deeply honest. You’re going to want to speak your truth even more after tuning in.

This time of year can feel like the pace is quickening all around us, when all we really feel like doing is finally switching off for the year-end. It can often mean we race to the “finish line” and before we know it the new year is upon us and we haven’t had that chance to fully take everything in. This episode is all about what you can do to refocus your attention to a place of actually finishing your year feeling good whilst taking in all that has been. When we integrate our lessons from the year, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and incorporate how we want to feel in the next year we set ourselves up for far more success. Aka calmness, clarity and joy. I share some of my favourite questions I use in my own annual year end review and planning process + updates on my free online community event called Lead With Joy running this week.

You could say Aletheia Hunn left a corporate career for a month in India to learn yoga and never looked back. But that would be leaving out all the juicy details – including the often overlooked tough (but necessary) bits along the way to figuring out what lights us up. She spent a decade working for big health charities until following her urge to create something on her own that could incorporate her passion for more of a “yogic” approach to life. Her business, Founded Wellness, now supports people to find more wellbeing in the workplace. She says that “experiencing joy is also a practice” and part of our wellbeing.

What we talked about:
•How exposure to entrepreneurship early in Aletheia’s career planted the seed for wanting to create something of her own one day
•Why allowing all of our emotions to happen actually helps us move forward
•How Aletheia starting to tune into what she really enjoyed doing (and how it helped her make better decisions)
•How to know when you’re ready for something new
•Aletheia’s love for travel and what it’s given her

Have you ever felt like things are going so well for you and then suddenly out of nowhere you get tripped up? Or you finally have that feeling of flow and your schedule is going great, you’ve made it to yoga, then you get back from holidays and everything just falls apart? We can get into the trap of beating ourselves up so easily when things don’t go as we planned, or when we’re not doing “all the things” to live a healthy, happy life. However what if this was exactly how things were meant to be? Life itself is ever changing, evolving and growing. And so too are you. It’s natural for us to go through periods of doing really well and then feeling really stuck. It’s natural for us to have ebbs and flows in our life. In this episode I’m sharing how you can get more curious about your own cyclical nature and how doing so will help you to sync up with your own personal success.
