Welcome to episode 68. We've put in a lot of work exploring our relationship with ourselves this series, so it seems fitting to end on this episode. Let's reflect on how far we've come and the amazing work we have done.

Today I am talking about how we can nurture ourselves by celebrating the big life stuff, but more importantly the small wins in life. How often do you celebrate yourself for those achievements? Our conditioning means it's probably not nearly enough. Learning to give ourselves a pat on the back will lead to a better relationship with ourselves and as result a happier life, but it's not always easy. Listen in to find out more.

In this episode:

• Reflecting on series three and our new perspective on the relationship we have with ourselves.
• Why our brains want us to fail – it's up to us to switch the narrative.
• How resentment can be the by-product of neglecting our need for self-celebration.
• Meaningful ways of celebrate ourselves, without breaking the bank.

Welcome to episode 65. In this episode we dive into the often controversial topic of money. Does your mindset around money clash with or compliment those who are closest to you? Balanced finances are key to making sure the needs of you (and your family, if you have one) are met, so let's take a closer look at how we can distribute the household contributions fairly and budget for joy, so everyone has the opportunity to live a happier and more fulfilled life.

In this episode:

· Your financial and non-financial input - money is just one contribution to a home filled with love.

· Investing in happiness - is it selfish to spend money on ourselves or is it an essential part of self-care?

· Untangling our beliefs about money – do they serve you well or do they cause you stress and anxiety?

Mentioned in this episode, money mindset coach Holly Dannhauser.

Welcome to episode 64. Having a healthy relationship with ourselves is essential for the present, and crucial for our future. In this episode we deep-dive into the problems that arise when we try to control other people's reactions and behaviour, often by sacrificing our own boundaries, values and needs. Spoiler alert, the result is rarely good! Showing up for ourselves, focusing on what we can control and choosing to walk away to protect our wellbeing takes strength and practice. Tune in for the no bullsh*t encouragement you need to be the best version of yourself and live a happier, more fulfilled life.

In this episode:

· Controlling what we can – aligning our own behaviour, thoughts and actions to our values, needs and boundaries leads to meaningful change.

· News flash - letting go of expectations and focusing on your own actions doesn't make you a pushover.

· Reframing our thoughts on other people's behaviour - people are doing the best they can with the resources they've got. Is it your job to change them?

Welcome to episode 63. When it comes to women's health, the focus is often on restriction and deprivation - cutting out certain foods and striving for smaller sizes. This episode is my rallying call for a shift in perspective: instead of less, let's focus on MORE. More strength, more self-care, and most importantly, more fun! If you're interested in understanding how your mental and physical health are the backbone to a happier life, for now and your future self, tune in now.

In this episode:

· Embracing the power of more – how doing more of what you're capable of is the pathway to better mental and physical health.

· How understanding our health in a more holistic way brings better, longer lasting benefits.

· Use it or lose it – planning for your older self by doing more activities that protect you mentally and physically.

Welcome to episode 62. Our digital world means we are exposed to insanely high levels of information – way more than is healthy for most of us. But how often do you take stock of what you consume and how it might be affecting your mental wellbeing? By protecting our input and being aware of what we watch, read or listen to, we can take back control of what we consume, align it to our values and needs, and ultimately use it to promote a happier life.

In this episode:

· Consuming content on your terms – the benefits of choosing what and when you want to consume based on your needs at that time.

· Could giving up mainstream media be good for your health?

· The healthy mind menu - discovering and curating content that will nurture and feed your mental wellbeing is the one of the keys to a happier life.
