Calm and joy may be two little words but there can be a lot of thinking and baggage tied up in them. Feeling calm and joy isn’t as simple as we’d like it to be because there are obstacles that trip us up and get in the way.

• Five of the biggest obstacles obstructing your path to calm and joy
• Why they don’t have to be in your way after all
• How to get past them (or blow them out of your way) so you can move forward towards more calm and joy

Joy is an emotion that we think is straight forward – who doesn’t want to feel joy, right? But in reality is just not that simple. There are structures and messaging we take in from the people and the world around us that mean our thinking about, and our freedom to feel, joy can get quite knotted up.

In this episode I share:

• What gets in the way of our joy
• What’s actually true about joy
• How to deal with challenging thoughts and feelings around joy

• What boundaries actually are
• How to recognise your existing boundaries
• How your current boundaries can help you create and honour new ones

Dipti Solanki is a coach guiding grieving people through the healing process. We often link grief to the death of a person but we experience grief in many ways, for example when a relationship or we lose a job. And while we can be in the absolute depths of grief it is still possible (and necessary) to find moments of calm and joy.

In this episode we discuss:

• What makes grieving even harder to deal with
• How to help ourselves when we’re in the thick of grief
• How to support someone else who’s grieving
• What gets in our way of finding calm and joy (besides grief itself) and how we can allow ourselves to feel it
