I recently did my podcast! I was interviewed by the fabulous positive psychologist and happiness coach, Meg. We talked all things happy and I told my story of how I became a happiness rebel. The link is at the bottom of this blog, please listen and then start your own happiness rebellion!

I am a solicitor and mindful coach. After being a lawyer for nearly 20 years and experiencing the high pressure, stressful nature of the rat race, I chose to choose a different life and my own version of happiness. I retrained as a coach and moved to the Italian Countryside with my husband and four dogs.

I want people to know that everything that is possible when we choose happiness in the most radical form, from the moment I rebelled against the grain of the corporate career by being me, to learning to talk myself into the things that bring me joy.

Radical self-care itself is an act of rebellion and Meg and I invite you to rebel too. Hopefully you will be inspired to stop what you are doing and think about how you can invite more happiness into your life by writing your very own happiness manifesto.

We covered:

• How I climbed the corporate ladder I thought I had to, and everything felt just ‘fine’ but ‘fine’ just isn’t enough!
• My realisation that time is more important to me than money, or things and how I left my life behind in the UK to in the Italian countryside
• How we’re conditioned to think of things that we ‘should’ be doing and how to rebel and do the things that light you up
• Why designing your life around the things you love can create huge shifts in your happiness
• How to be motivated by thinking of the things that you love doing and never wanting to be someone who said ‘I was going to do that’
• How my peers called me the ‘anti-lawyer’ because I didn’t fit the mould of how I was expected to look or act… and how that made me better at my job
• Why it’s none of your business what other people think of you
• How to give yourself permission about the things that radically light you up
