Summary

Which parts of your life are put under a microscope over the festive period? Maybe you notice niggling difficulties amongst family members, or perhaps as we approach the new year you want a bit of motivation to help you take control of the life you want to live.

In this episode, Fearne chats about the Happy Place conversations that have had a tangible impact on her own life in 2023, as well as the episodes that could be particularly helpful for all of us at this time of year.

Fearne reflects on her chats with Jay Shetty, Kesha, Professor David Nutt, and many others, covering issues including arguments, addiction, and cultivating a kinder relationship with yourself.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Happy Place with Me Fern Cotton. Merry Christmas.
0:07.0	Today I want to take a little reflective look back at some of the episodes that I believe have really helped me out this year, ones that have felt actually very game-changing and also episodes that I believe could be helpful around this time of year which can be joyful but can also be incredibly tricky for many people too.
0:27.8	We can work out disagreements with each other in a way that neither of us feels like we've lost.
0:33.8	We both feel like we've come out okay on the other side of the disagreement.
0:38.6	That makes the relationships stronger.
0:40.8	It's just so cool to have somebody not only encourage you to be yourself, but through the process, I think he allowed me to love parts of myself that were imperfect.
0:51.0	The addiction is a behavior where people stop thinking about a drug or gambling or

1:05.9	The only thing that turns a mistake into a regret is our own judgment upon it. It's really just
1:12.0	a matter of perspective. So every

1:28.8	approaching the new year and you want a bit of motivation to help you take control of the kind of life that you want to live.
1:34.8	Look, whatever your holiday season is looking like, I've hopefully got you covered.
1:39.8	There's some really gorgeous stuff in here about relationships with other people and also with ourselves
1:46.9	about the importance of nature and getting outside and moving our bodies and also about living life without regret.
1:57.0	All right, let's do it, here's the show. Oh, Right, let's talk about Bob Waldinger. Oh my God, I love Bob. I should probably call him Professor Robert Waldinger,
2:27.0	but I think we're friendly enough now for me to be able to call him Bob.
2:31.0	The relationships in our lives are often put under a microscope at this time of year.
