Do you think happiness is a choice?

We all want to be happy, yet the harder we chase it, the more elusive it feels. Often, we look to success, security, or comfort, only to find lasting contentment doesn’t come from the outside world.

This week on my Feel Better, Live More podcast, returning guest Mo Gawdat explores how happiness comes not from changing our circumstances, but from changing how we see them.

After a 30-year career at Google [X], Mo has dedicated himself to understanding happiness, speaking with some of the wisest minds and studying the science behind it. In this moving conversation, he shares what he’s learned about joy, suffering, and why happiness can coexist with deep compassion for pain and loss.

To hear our full conversation on finding happiness, tune into this week's episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Youtube🎙️

Always remember: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

Last week I gave a talk on Tackling Overwhelm to a lovely group of mums in business locally.

So many of us feel overwhelmed from time to time, juggling life, work, children and elderly parents.

There are some great mindset shifts we can make to prevent overwhelm happening often and things we can let go of to lighten the mental and physical load.

Sometimes situations are outside of our control, but we can manage overthinking here and bring acceptance to prevent unnecessary noise from building up inside our heads.

Using effective tools like mindfulness, breathwork and exercise, we can stay in the NOW and create habits and behaviours to prioritise our self-care and wellbeing.

How does overwhelm feel for you and what do you find is the best way to tackle it? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Hey there 👋

12/11/2025

Life’s never going to go exactly how you want it to.

Things will fall apart, plans will change, and people will disappoint you.

The real work is staying steady when they do. That’s where the growth happens.

That’s when you realize peace isn’t about the circumstances - it’s about your mindset.

Comment a ❤️ if you needed to hear this today.

✨ 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 #𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧 ✨

Today, we’re highlighting a helpful visual tool known as 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘳, which can support us in understanding and managing stress more effectively. 💙

Imagine your daily stress as water flowing into a container. If too much builds up without release, the container overflows, leading to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and burnout.

On the side of the container is a tap, representing healthy coping strategies that help release stress and protect your wellbeing. But when we rely on unhelpful habits, like excessive drinking, overworking, or neglecting self-care, the tap can become blocked, making it harder to cope.

Keeping the tap flowing means prioritising self-care and making time for activities that recharge you. Here are some simple ways to do just that:

🚶‍♀️ Take a walk in nature
🍵 Catch up with a friend over a cuppa
🧘 Join a yoga or fitness class
💃 Dance to your favourite tunes
📖 Get lost in a good book
🛁 Enjoy a long, relaxing bath
🍝 Cook and savour a nourishing meal
📽️ Watch a comforting film

Even small acts of self-care can make a big difference. So today, take a moment for yourself; open the tap, release the pressure, and give your wellbeing the attention it deserves.
