Hey, it's Zoe. Welcome to Motherkind. We are proudly sponsored by Stocker and this is the show

that's going to give you new tools, ideas, validation and support for the roller coaster

So we re-release the most loved episodes of the year. So if you haven't

listened to this one, enjoy. And if you have, enjoy again. Here it is.

Hey, everyone. And welcome to this episode of Motherkind, sponsored by Stoker with me, your host, Zoe Blaskey.

This is such a special episode because it was recorded live in front of a live audience at Fern Cotton's Happy Place Festival last weekend at Tatton Park near Manchester. Everyone told me how incredible

happy place was, but wow, what Fern has created and her team is just unbelievable. So many

gorgeous people, bright clothes, happy smiling faces and such a magical grounded feeling

through the whole event. So it was a complete honour to be

part of it, to be sat up there of filming a Motherkind episode felt so special. My guest was Anna

Martha. You probably know her, the incredible psychotherapist, bestselling author. And we chatted

about her new book, The Uncomfortable Truth.

If you are someone who has a tendency to anxiety or worry if you're a people pleaser or you

find it hard to find perspective in the busyness of life, then this is the episode for you.

Here it is. I hope you love it.

It is.

I hope you love it.

Oh, hello everyone. Oh my God, I got told that happy place was just the most magical place. And my gosh, were they right?

Isn't it incredible what Fern has created? Everyone just walking around is so happy and bright.

And we got our bright dresses on, Anna. Yes, we have. We are. Tell me what you've loved as you've been wandering around.

Just people being really friendly. Is it a northern thing?
