Are you a bookworm who not only loves books, but enjoys getting your creative on and learning some nifty self development tools? Would you like to learn how to have more fun, learning to feel confident & care free with less anxiety. I have a special invitation for you & a free activity guide.
Today, we're meeting 10 sensitive worried children who are super stressed out with life and looking for peace, fun and friendship. Each one is facing a struggle or challenge that is giving them lots of worries and big scary feelings. They've kindly agreed to share their stories with you. I believe that when we share our stories it’s comforting to know that we’re not the only one. We’re not alone and there is nothing wrong with us. There is definitely nothing wrong with you! I wonder if you can see yourself in one or more of their stories. Have a listen and let me know.
Smiley continues with the courage chats and talks to Holly-Ann Martin from Safe4 Kids to teach you about body safety.
Today we meet Jemma and talk about the challenges children face and how we can support them.
Well! What a year 2020 has been. We weren't expecting that, were we? As the magic of Christmas beckons, it's time to see if it has left us any surprise gifts under the Christmas Tree. I've made you a hot chocolate with marshmallows, so come and sit with me for some festive chit-chat
You can do anything even when life gets tricky. Tricky times (hello Coronavirus), tricky things (starting something new or doing something for the first time) and I guess we could probably add tricky people into the mix. Life is full of trickiness, but when we believe in ourselves and we believe that we can handle anything life throws our way, it feels less scary and more peaceful. As the drama of the Corona Crazy unfolds, I want to help you feel as peaceful as possible.
What would your life feel like without all those worries? Wouldn’t it be lighter, freer and feel so much easier! Of course, it would! In today's episode, I'm going to share with you some things that I think everybody needs to understand about their worries so that they don't take over your life.
Do you know the secret to happiness? Smiley tells you about the 3 myths or lies that people believe are the secret to happiness. Then she helps you work out what your happiness is all about.
The way you start your day really sets the tone for what's to come. Do you start slow and feel ready for the day ahead? Or are you rushing about stressed - not able to enjoy it for fear of being late or forgetting something? Today I'm going to share with you how you can make mornings more enjoyable and less stressful. I want you to start your day with a smile! Not one on your face - that would be nice, but even if you're grumpy in the morning, you have an inner smile that you can activate.
The Coronavirus has become a global pandemic and changed our daily life as we know it. The planet has slowed down, the schools are shut and people are being asked to stay at home. With all this time on our hands, can we turn this to our advantage or are we drowning in a sea of worry and feeling stuck with nothing to do. Let's have a chat about that.
It's October half term here in the UK and as exciting and fun as it is to have so much time and space away from school, I also know that into that space jumps sibling squabbles, endless requests for more sweets, screens and other items that require strict limits. Hold those boundaries firm - don't let the giddyness of the holidays weaken your resolve!
Has anybody ever called you nosey? Is your brain like a crazy quizmaster constantly asking you questions and searching for answers? Does the thought of not knowing something leave you worried or scared? In today's episode my beautiful niece, Mia, is asking me all the questions about all the things. If you're curious - not nosey but curious and you want to find out my favourite colour, what I hate about my job, how I became The Smiley Coach and what makes me angry or sad, then you had better get yourself comfy for a really juicy episode! Let's dive in!
Listen to Lisa and Mia talk about how easy it is to go from being stressed and struggling (just like we all do) to feeling calmer, in control and more confident again.
Squeeeeeeeeeeel! I'm celebrating and I want to celebrate my good news with you! Listen in today and hear how important it is to celebrate success (without showing off). We often forget to look at how far we've come and we tend to notice what is wrong or what we can't do. Or we compare ourselves to others and wish we could be more like them! You're not meant to be like them. Do you know why? Because you are you...and that is BRILLIANT! In the words of Dr Suess ... "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."
How do you spot a fake friend over a real one? Do you know the difference? It’s really important that you surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you. You deserve the very best in life and to be treated with love and kindness.
It took me such a long time to realise that I am in charge of my brain and I can help myself climb out of thought holes....or maybe not even get stuck in them in the first place. So in today’s episode, I want to help you understand your brain a bit better because nobody teaches us this stuff at school and it’s going to really help you. There’s quite a bit to cover and as usual, there will be Smiley stories to keep us going.
Have you ever lost something? Or maybe you even worry that you might forget something really important? Do you leave your belongings behind or forget where you have put them? Yep, me too. Don’t worry! Smiley help is at hand. I’ll show you that all you really need is your voice, trust and a little patience. Listen in and have fun learning a quick trick to help you next time you or your belongings get a little bit lost.
If you are afraid of the dark, have no fear because Smiley is here! I am too and I want to share with you some of the helpful things I did growing up which might help you too. Or if you have a friend that is scared of the dark, maybe you could share it with them. That would be a kind thing to do.
Today, I’m proud to share with you this first ever Truly Madly Smiley podcast, the only show where children everywhere get their weekly burst of positivity, confidence, love and encouragement. Lisa has created this show because she wants you to grow up knowing you are not alone. She wants to help you to feel confident from the inside out and know how truly madly amazing you are.
