I'm joined by Stefanie Fowler, owner of ‘Fanny’s Real Fitness’, which offers personal training and nutrition coaching and the author of www.fannysrealfood.com a food blog providing hundreds of healthy recipes and tips and advice for a healthy lifestyle.  Stefanie is uber practical and down to earth and is able to demystify a lot of the conflicting health advice and get to the root of what is really required to have a healthy lifestyle.

Life can be frustrating! In today's episode I share one very simple hack that you can use to eliminate 99% of life's frustrations. Mastering this skill has been my biggest learning point and allowed me a massive mindset shift and I can't wait to share it with you. 

If you are thinking of New Year Resolutions then setting yourself some health and fitness goals will probably be high up your agenda. A couple of months ago I decided to try out the 30 Days of Yoga Challenge with Adriene Michler and it was a revelation. Not only did I start a daily yoga practice but I learned a lot about myself in the process. Today I share with you what I learned, some of it might surprise you!

It's now time for something completely different and something of an experiment. A simple exercise that shows how five minutes can change your day. 

Bruce Daisley is European Vice-President for Twitter, host of the UK's number one business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat and the author of The Joy of Work: 30 Ways to Fix Your Work Culture and Fall In Love With Your Job. 

We spend a third of our lives at work so if we are to have a good life well lived then it's important that we enjoy and are fulfilled by the work that we do.   

In this episode Bruce shares his insights and tips into how we can all fall in love with our job again. What I particularly like about Bruce's approach is that he wants to empower individuals within organisations to take action rather than wait for their employers to tell them how they are going to make their working life better.

Talking to Bruce was fascinating and he shares important lessons on how to enjoy our work more, whether we are employed or work for ourselves.

In this episode I share how to have a stress free, calm Christmas.

It's the 'most wonderful time of the year'. A time to take a break from routine, connect with family and friends and have some fun.

Yet sometimes the 'most wonderful time of the year' can feel like the 'most stressful time of the year'.

Finishing off work before the holidays + back to back social events + family commitments + Christmas shopping = Stress, Overwhelm and Exhaustion.

The desire to be all things to all people can leave us feeling like we are not good enough in any department.

I share my top seven tips to help you have a stress free Christmas. Listen all the way to the end where I share a free tool that you can use to help you find a breathing space and get perspective this festive season.

In this episode Jo shares:

• What the busy, stressed and overwhelmed have in common

• How systems can save the day, even if you are not a naturally organised person

Paul Jarvis. Paul is the author of Company of One, a book about why staying small is the next big thing for business. His writing, and in fact all of his work, focus on the view that business growth isn't always good and isn't always required. I have followed Paul for a while and he is a true inspiration and a man who lives life on his own terms.

In this episode we talk about:

• The importance of creating our own definition of success
• Why business owners really need to know when enough is enough
• How to block out the 'noise' from other people and stick to your own path
• Being brave and constructing a life that works for you
• Why it's often the simple things that mean the most to us

Kirsty Bowman-Vaughan, Deputy Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Money Advice Servic shares her top money money management tips for a good life well lived.

I can almost hear the intake of breath as you read this.  Money? Money? We're British we don't talk about money?!?  Well, in this episode we are talking about money.  In fact all of this week (12th-16th November 2018) the Money Advice Service are hosting an event, Talk Money to encourage us to talk more freely about money, debt and financial planning.

Kirsty shares her advice and tips to help you get into the best financial shape possible and also gives insights into how we can all encourage the younger generation to become more financially savvy and more comfortable and capable talking about money.

Does it ever feel like everyone around you has totally got their act together while you have no clue what you are doing? if so then this week's episode is for you!

You might look at people with an active social life, or who exercise every day or who are making great advances in their career and think. How on earth are they able to do that and I am just about keeping my head above water?  If you have children this feeling can intensify even more. You can barely peel your kids away from the screen and you are being met with images of your friends kids getting their PB in a cross country run or coming top of their class in Mandarin lessons.

I am going to give you the straight, honest, answer that you seriously need to hear about why everybody else has their act together and you don't.
