Even coming through the worst part of the pandemic, there are days when we don't cope, we can't manage the changes, feel overwhelmed and we still have a lot of difficult navigations ahead to get a shape of our lives again.

So how do we cope during these times? How do we now operate in this changed world?
Have men and women coped differently in this troubling period and have our roles been re-examined?
Most importantly, can we really choose to be happy?
Holly talks about how we can work through any uncertain times in life and reframe things in a new way, how to be kind to oursleves and be grateful.
If we can figure out what's really important to us, we can learn to be happy in the 'in between' moments of tough times and find the tools to help us do this with.

We talk about the confidence that people lack and the worry about being rejected or challenged when you put yourself out there.
Anna had a real fear of being on camera when she was in her voice acting career and worried about being judged and, here, she talks us through how we form these fears and beliefs, how they can really get in the way and why you need to get to the bottom of it all so you can really achieve what you want.
NLP in particular changed everything for Anna and you will want to listen to her story of how she went from being wheelchair bound and deeply unhappy to achieving all she has today. It's all about the power of possibility, shifting how you feel - and what you really can do with the right mindset, help and support.
