Welcome to episode 91. We live in a time where there’s more in life to manage than ever before, so in this episode I’m exploring a deeper perspective on our relationship with productivity, and asking - what are we missing out on in pursuit of getting all the shit done? By understanding that there’s life beyond the list we can make space for the small things that bring us joy, bring new, healthier perspectives to our lives and crank up the happiness dial as a result. Ready to go? Let’s dive in!
In this episode:
· Why we need a good relationship with ourselves to make the best positive changes.
· Embracing ‘glimmers’ – recognising and savouring small moments of joy and how this can help change your perspective on life.
· Re-evaluating control – how to stop the exhaustive cycle of doing and learn to let go.

It’s All Projects | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life
Welcome to episode 90. Today we take a look at how we can make non-work events less overwhelming by identifying and organising them into projects - just as you would in your business or your work. If you’re in charge of organising a family holiday, pulling off Christmas or managing the people or pets in your house, you’ll understand the stress that comes from not having a plan or leaving everything to the last minute. Join me as I share tips on how to bring your project mindset into your big life stuff - and give you time back to squeeze even more enjoyment out of life. Let’s dive in!
In this episode:
· How approaching non-work-related events with a project mindset can help manage stress and overwhelm.
· Planning this stuff does NOT make you boring! Fun things need planning too – do whatever makes it easier for you and don’t be ashamed of needing a system or a plan.
· How to practice excessive kindness to yourself during busy life events – managing your own expectations and being realistic with what you can achieve.
In this episode I give a shout-out to an online event I’m running with sex educator and coach Ruth Ramsay: Sex & the Autistic Brain on 26th November at 8PM. Sign up for your ticket here:
