Summary

You’ve achieved the goals you set yourself for your career and personal life; what’s next? That’s the question Holly Willoughby has found herself asking recently.

When you’re used to excellence and achievement, how do you break the loop of constantly living in the future, looking ahead instead of existing in the present and thinking about what will bring joy right now? In this chat with Fearne, Holly explores her experience of detaching from herself in order to feel safe, and how she’s discovered ways to come back to herself.

Reflections: Life Lessons on Finding Beauty – Inside and Out untangles topical and emotional issues and explores what it means to live a beautiful life in the modern world. The book is published by Century and out now: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1445093/reflections/9781529135718.html

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Fern cotton and this is Happy Place, the podcast that helps you tune out the
0:06.8	noise of the outside world so you can find your true self.
0:12.0	Today I'm chatting to someone who feels she's now being reintroduced to herself after

0:32.1	Like up until now I think you're so busy with so many other things you sort of start to
0:35.1	lose a little piece of who you are because so many little pieces of being spread into
0:40.0	other areas.
0:41.0	Holly is obviously rarely off our screens.
0:43.7	She fronts some of the most successful programmes on British TV, but recently she's found
0:48.3	herself wondering what's next, what happens when you reach the pinnacle of your career
0:53.7	or tick off all the goals you had for your personal life.
0:57.7	You know what, I've talked about this before, we've normalized perfection, you know,
1:02.2	throughout pop culture or whether it's social media or just the media and it's not particularly
1:07.7	healthy for any of us.
1:10.0	And when you're, well, when we're all collectively used to striving for excellence and achievements,
1:17.2	it can be really hard to break that loop of constantly living in the future.
1:21.0	So I really hope that you take something away from this chat with Holly today.
1:26.2	And for us all, we might learn to live a little more in the present.
