Welcome to episode 41. Today I am talking all about social connection and why it takes up such an important space in our happier life toolkit. Do we take it for granted? If you were to suddenly loose your ability to connect with your friends or community, how would you feel? Having and maintaining regular contact with the right people floods our brains with oxytocin (aka the love hormone). It helps us to process the stress of our busy, often overwhelming lives by making us feel safe, capable and supported. Are you using this as a tool in your happier life toolkit?

In this episode:

How positive social interactions help us to process stress.
Why spending time with the right people is so important.
Social connection is a necessity, not a luxury - do you agree?
The importance of community and sharing our struggles.

Welcome to episode 42. The benefits of adopting a plant-based diet are promoted all around us these days, so how can we incorporate these changes into our toolkit for a happier life and what difference can they really make?

In this episode:

The benefits of a more plant-based diet on our overall health and wellbeing.
Also, the benefits to the wider environmental issues we currently face.
