Hello, I'm Fern Cotton and this is Happy Place, the show that questions what success really means.

Today, I'm chatting to Mo Gilligan. There's a part of me that always wants to yearning, strive for more.

Like when I wake up in the morning, I'm like, this is what I want to do. I can see how to get there,

but in order to get there, I need to also be extremely present more than

ever. I think now I try my best of feeling vulnerable again. That feels very nice. It's a really

nice feeling to go into situations where, you know, you're doing something. You're like,

oh, this is different. I'm being judged. So yeah, to back to the vulnerability and being in the

present makes me yearn for more but also stay more grounded I'm sat here with a painful

ankle today you might have seen me already warbling on about this on Instagram but I

had a fall I fell over when I was out running the other day. I don't even know how it happened. I was

running. I was listening to a podcast actually and my foot went over and the next thing I did a

sort of cartoon fall onto the floor, landed on my shoulder, cut my knee open, ruined my brand

new leopard print leggings, which I'm still livid about, although

someone has said on Instagram, make them into cycling shorts, which I'm definitely doing.

But this lovely lady, I fell into a lady, and this lovely lady said, right, sit on the wall,

take some breaths, you're in shock.

Now, what I want you to do is go home and have a cup of tea.

And that is what I talked about on Instagram because that line has stuck with me. We're all

rushing around too much, way too much. And also, I'm really bored of being served things by

my algorithm about being more motivated and doing more and achieving more, etc. I think actually most of us need to do the opposite and just have a cup of tea at home and deep

breathe.

So I did.
