Summary
Happy holidays! We are re-releasing an episode we love and think will be encouraging to us all as we head into the holidays this weekend. Entrepreneur, host, and mental health advocate Poppy Jamie joins Jameela to discuss her new book - Happy Not Perfect: Upgrade Your Mind, Challenge Your Thoughts, and Free Yourself From Anxiety. Poppy walks Jameela through her research and explains how we tend to have two "radio channels" in our brain - Stressed FM & Relaxed FM. She helps us understand how to turn down Stressed FM and turn up Relaxed FM. She covers the importance of belly breathing, stiff thinking vs flexible thinking, why we are so overwhelmed, and shares the best advice she was ever given - "never waste a breakdown."
Happy Not Perfect is out now wherever books are sold

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of I Way with Jameela Jamel, a podcast again shame. |
| 0:05.4 | How are you? |
| 0:07.6 | Fucking hell, fucking hell. It's almost over. We're almost done with this fucking year. |
| 0:16.0 | Jesus Christ on a bicycle. It's been crazy. It's been, it's been, there have been some lovely |
| 0:22.7 | moments. I hope you've had some, but I feel like I have been turned inside out and then thrown |
| 0:32.9 | off a cliff. That's just, that's my vibe right now. It's been a lot, it's been a lot and |
| 0:41.0 | because we're all going through a lot all at the same time in a way that I feel like we probably |
| 0:46.2 | haven't since a big war or the Spanish flu. I think it's made the environment and atmosphere |
| 0:55.5 | even more intense and tense. So just like well done, well done for getting to this point. We are at |
| 1:03.1 | the taint of the year known to some maybe in the UK as the Gooch, which is traditionally in biology |
| 1:09.4 | the space between the genitals and the arthole, you know, a bit of sort of like that thin piece of |
| 1:14.8 | skin. That's what I always think of as this kind of coming week between kind of Christmas and the |
| 1:20.8 | New Year. Pointless, don't know why it's there, but it's kind of fun. Similar to a taint or a Gooch, |
| 1:28.3 | I hope that you're okay. I hope that however you're spending Christmas is how you actually want to, |
| 1:34.9 | if that's something that you celebrate. I've had some fantastic Christmas alone where I've just sat |
| 1:40.7 | there eating Chinese food. I haven't bathed watching all of my favourite TV and just being as annoying |
| 1:47.6 | as I like. I've had some great ones with Chosen Family, which is what I'll be doing this year, |
| 1:54.4 | because I'm not a big family holiday person. Some people maybe have very stressful relationships |
| 2:03.2 | with their family and so they're still having to go and maybe they got off from having to do that |
| 2:10.6 | for the last two years because of Covid and they can't go away with that anymore. And so if that's |
| 2:16.1 | something you're really stressed about, I'm really sorry. And I hope that today's episode can bring you |
| 2:20.7 | a little bit of solace. I just know it's a very tricky time and it brings up a lot for all of us. |
