Welcome to episode 21. Today we follow on from my last episode on fear and anxiety and take a closer look at how other people’s fears can have a negative effect on our personal growth. Fear is often routed in the feeling of not belonging or the fear of change, and although often coming from…

Welcome to episode 20. Living a modern life means you’ve probably experienced some sort of fear and anxiety at some point – even more so if you’re a business owner, so it’s important that we see these fears for what they really are and find a way to manage them effectively. In this episode I…

Welcome to episode 19. Being in the moment is one of those phrases we can put in the ‘easier said than done’ category. We all know that ‘being in the moment’ or being ‘mindful’ is something we should be practicing in our daily lives but the truth is we’re often too busy to notice or…

Do you find it hard to reflect back on your achievements and to celebrate your success? If you do, you’re not alone. In episode 18 of The No Bullshit Guide to a Happier Life, I explain why reflection and recognition of your achievements (big and small) is so important to personal growth, but how our…
