The festive season is meant to feel magical but for many women, it feels more like emotional overload. If December leaves you feeling anxious, overstimulated, exhausted or like you’re performing joy instead of feeling it, this episode is for you.

• What really causes festive overwhelm (it’s not you being “too sensitive”)

• Real-life grounding practices that fit your busy life

• How to honour your emotional needs while still showing up with love

“Rock bottom isn’t a collapse, it’s clarity.”

In this raw and soul-nourishing episode of The Happya Life, Clare Deacon, trauma-informed therapist and founder of Happya, holds sacred space for the woman who’s quietly unraveling beneath the weight of her life.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t recognise myself anymore,” this one’s for you.

💔 Maybe your rock bottom came after a breakup, burnout, or a body that finally said no.
💔 Maybe it’s quieter, a slow ache, a silent disconnection, a life that no longer fits.
💔 Maybe you’re still showing up, still coping, still functioning but something inside you is done performing.

This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you meet the woman beneath the roles, perfection, people-pleasing, and survival mode.

Inside this episode, Clare gently guides you through:

The real meaning of rock bottom (it’s not failure, it’s identity collapse)

Why post-traumatic growth begins when we stop performing and start feeling

How to begin rising again slowly, gently, honestly after everything falls apart

Nervous system wisdom, personal stories, and compassionate support

Whether you’re in the ashes or just beginning to rise, you are not broken.
You are breaking open.

🎧 Listen now and begin rising differently.

Why does imposter syndrome feel so much stronger for women who’ve lived through trauma, loss, chronic stress, or years of performing roles that weren’t truly theirs?

In this powerful episode of The Happya Life, trauma-informed therapist and positive psychology coach Clare Deacon reveals the truth most people never talk about: imposter syndrome isn’t a confidence problem, it’s a safety problem.

You’ll learn:

• How trauma rewires your nervous system and identity
• Why belonging wounds make success feel unsafe
• Why stepping into visibility triggers panic, fear, or self-doubt
• How childhood roles like “the helper,” “the strong one,” or “the peacekeeper” shape adult imposter patterns
• Why achievements don’t land in your body (and feel like accidents)
• The link between survival mode and feeling like you’re “acting” your way through life
• Three gentle steps to rebuild safety, self-trust, and internal permission to take up space

Clare shares deeply personal reflections, client stories, and trauma-informed science to help you understand why you feel like a fraud even when you’re capable, qualified, and rebuilding your life courageously.

💛 If you’ve ever whispered, “Who am I to be doing this?” this episode will help you see yourself more clearly: not as an imposter, but as a survivor who is rising.
