From September I have decided to do something called The Joy Experiment!

Each month for the next 12 months will have a theme. These themes are things that positive psychologists have shown to be influential when it comes to our wellbeing. I have picked 12 themes that feel particularly relevant to my life. I will then use each theme to set myself weekly tasks/missions/to-dos to see how much joy the theme brings me.

I will be blogging about my experience as I go!

Autonomy: what makes business worthwhile with Brittany

In this episode, I speak to Brittany, owner of a boutique branding studio who candidly shares her experiences of running a business while navigating the demands of motherhood. She opens up about the moments she wonders if she should just get a job at Starbucks but reminds us that it's just a case of choosing which inconvenience you'd prefer to have, and so she continues to choose running a business.

We reflect on the humbling nature of entrepreneurship, the never-ending challenges, and the belief that money isn't enough of a motivator to keep you going on the hard days. We also chat about social media with its constantly changing rules, and the struggle to keep up with the game none of us know how to play.
