What am I doing with my life? With Elyssa Desai

Join me for this solo episode where I share my advice on how to cultivate positivity. This isn't about adding loads of positivity hacks into your day but instead how you do this at the core of your being - by looking at your beliefs.

I share what beliefs are, how they are created, how they might be impacting you and questions to reflect on.

If you think a friend would find this episode helpful, I would really appreciate you sharing it with them. And if you’re enjoying the podcast, it would mean the world to me if you could leave a review, as it helps me reach even more people to normalise not having it all figured out.
