Don't love your job?

Keep telling yourself - "I'll be happy when..." ?

Life not quite lighting you up in the way you'd hoped?

Well, this is for you:

Welcome to Episode 35 of The Much Better You Podcast - Take a Break, Be Bored, Retire Early!

In this episode, we discuss why the productivity trap can be so devastating, how a simpler life is better (and cheaper) than you may think, why bucket lists are shite, and why flexibility and optionality is critical given that best-laid plans so often don't work out as expected e.g. "once I retire, I will...(insert unlikely dream here)"

There's just too much cool stuff to mention here!

This episode may well get you to seriously reflect on - and maybe even reconsider - your current life plans.

(This is dedicated to Veronica xxxxx)

Welcome to EPISODE 34 of The Much Better You - podcast: Trauma Does Not Define You.

...

"Telling someone with trauma to 'just get over it' is about as useful as shouting 'Calm down!' at a fire..."

...

We've all got baggage, peeps.

Some of us just insist on bringing it into every room.

Trauma is real. It hurts. It changes people. But here's the mic drop question...

Does it get to decide who you become?

In this episode I explore why trauma isn't just about wars, abuse or catastrophe.

Sometimes it's the teacher who humiliated you.

The relationship that betrayed you.

The panic attack that taught your brain to fear fear itself.

We'll look at why some people develop PTSD, why others experience post-traumatic growth, why your brain isn't broken (it's trying to protect you), and the science behind approaches like EMDR and memory reconsolidation.

No toxic positivity.

No "just get over it."

Just one simple idea:

Your past may explain you. It doesn't have to define you.

Welcome to Episode 32 of The Much Better You Podcast - Manage Your Stress.

Stress is normal.

Some stress is good.

Stress is designed to keep us alive, bless it.

But...

Stress is out-dated.

Stress was never designed for the modern world.

And...

Now, thankfully, 99.9% of the shit we stress over will NOT kill us.

Yet, even though we all know this stuff deep down, chronic stress can run our lives, bugger up our joy and potentially go on to damage our health.

This life-improving episode reveals some piss-easy tools to help you manage stress effectively.

Anyone can do this stuff.

NO ONE needs to suffer stress!
