Not Another Podcast

Long time no see! I am back with a 30 minute ramble on why I am choosing to be "content" everyday rather than searching for happiness. I explain how I stumbled upon this idea of "The Contentment Theory", and how I plan on implementing it into my day to day life. I also provide an actionable model that helps support fulfilment and contentment, known as the PERMA+ Model.

This is a letter I wrote to my 17/18 year old self. I wanted to use this episode to give advice and provide reassurance to my younger self about what he has to look forward to in life. Through the lens of friendships, family, dating, and more importantly, within self. This practice has opened my eyes to how I view myself and the journey I have been on in the last 10 years. If you have never tried this before, I thoroughly recommend giving it a go. Check out previous episodes here: https://linktr.ee/NotAnotherPodcast

Welcome back to the show. This week I am joined by my first guest of the new series, and it is my friend, Abigail Smith!

Overthinking can compound the most trivial thought or feeling into the most intense feelings of impending doom and demise. That feeling where you spiral further and further into the rabbit hole of regret, sorrow, guilt, shame and depression that often leaves us feeling like we’re in the middle of a tornado. Our minds leave us feeling as if we’re not in Kansas anymore. What if I’m here to tell you that you aren’t alone in this battle? And I’m here to offer some support in how to manage these moments better. We will talk about methods to alleviate some of these patterns, as well as how we can become more action driven as opposed to a pipe dream specialist. https://linktr.ee/NotAnotherPodcast Fac, si facis - do it if you’re going to do it.

In a world where there is a lot of value placed on image, it feels as if we have lost what makes us unique. Searching for likes, follows, podcast listens, it seems as though true authenticity isn’t being celebrated enough, and that following trends or walking the beaten path is what is socially acceptable. What if I’m here to tell you that there is so much more value to being yourself than there is to be the second best version of someone else? In today’s episode we will talk about self esteem, being disliked, and how you can help others be themselves to seek their own individual power rather than placing higher value in the validation from others. https://linktr.ee/NotAnotherPodcast

Today’s episode is about happiness. Disclaimer, this episode might not be the provider of happiness, but it might give you some insight on how you might find it. We’ve all heard the saying “if I get this job promotion/marriage/six pack… then I will be happy.” What if I’m here to tell you that’s not the case? We will talk through my own experiences with happiness, if I’m genuinely happy as of now, the power of self reflection, and how to determine your own self worth. *warning, it does get a bit deep.* https://linktr.ee/NotAnotherPodcast

Deciding to leave the nest in search of a new adventure is as daunting as it is liberating. Whether you are in search of yourself, experiences, work, or a better life for you and your loved ones… there is so much to see and so many experiences to be had. It isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and going into this chapter without an idea of where to begin can take the wind out of your sails. Today, I’m going to list some helpful tips that I’ve learned on my recent experience of moving away from home. Expect a spin on some cliched advice, and maybe a bad joke or two, sorry not sorry.

2023 was a year of challenge and reflection. Offering some insights into things I probably should do more of. Over the festive period I reflected on the past 12 months, and come up with a list of 5 life lessons that I am still trying to work towards. They’re harsh, they’re honest, but most importantly, they’re real. Today we will talk about one New Year’s resolution I’ve made, and thinking of how people care about what you do can actually have the reverse effect on your goals. Disclaimer, I’m still figuring this stuff out, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Setbacks are part of life, that doesn't mean they don't suck. We spend our lives avoiding these negative moments but it is important to be somewhat prepared to action them as they appear. Break ups, missing out on job promotions, having to move on... extreme changes in circumstances can happen to the best of us. This isn't a fool-proof guide to invincibility but more some tools to soften the blow of life's critical tests. Today, we will chat about reframing setbacks as opportunities to reflect, a story of a recent life event of my own, plus how you can bounce back stronger from your own setbacks in life.

Well, Well, Well! Fancy seeing you here. Welcome back to Not Another Podcast! After a lengthy break, we are back and more reflective than ever. In this episode, of the Navigating Life Series, we catch up on where the hell I've been for the last 2 and a half years, but also on how I have found my purpose in life. We also look at ways to find yours too. Great episode for those who feel like they need to realign their values with their life!
