The information I share in this episode and in the MY SOBER SELF course is based on my experience with alcohol and as a coach working with others who struggle to regulate their intake.

Ep 76. First Christmas after losing someone you love

Big Happy Life ·

2021/12/17

This unplanned and unscripted episode was inspired by a song I heard on the radio this morning - "For those who can't be here" by Tom Watson. I was reminded of the first Christmas my family spent without my dad and how confusing and lonely it felt. I decided to record this episode partly to send a little love to the 15-year-old me who experienced that first Christmas and partly to share some thoughts with anyone who is going through that first devastating Christmas this year. My heart goes out to

Ep 75. The undiscovered stage of ‘normal‘ development

Big Happy Life ·

2021/11/26

What if it's completely normal to arrive in adulthood carrying beliefs that don't serve you well? And what if it's a normal part of development to go back and rip up the tracks of some of those beliefs so you can replace them with new ones? In this episode, I share a theory about a developmental stage we can only ever reach in adulthood - one with which we must choose to engage if we're to develop self-acceptance.

Ep 71. How self-judgement can feed depression

Big Happy Life ·

2021/10/22

For many of us, the critical voices in our minds can become damaging enough to drive us into a downward spiral that ultimately leaves us feeling depressed and powerless. That's what happened to me recently and is also the reason I haven't recorded a new podcast episode in over 3 months. If you're feeling depressed and you're judging and criticising yourself, I hope this episode offers some inspiration to start moving towards self-compassion and kindness. I have more to learn about these things and
