I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. Today I'm speaking with Samantha Clark.

Samantha is a happiness consultant, a speaker, a podcast host, an author of Love It or Leave It, How to Be Happy at Work.

As a Happiness Consultant, Samantha is on a mission to liberate individuals from work they no longer love

and to find a path to true work happiness. As a faculty lecturer at the School of Life and the Guardian Masterclass,

she facilitates workshops on career potential, building a portfolio career, managing stress,

confidence and authentic leadership.

Samantha is also the host of a podcast series Conversations with Samantha and

and a newer series Love It or Leave it with Samantha and in which she

interviews individuals who have taken the reins of their own work happiness and

found a path to be successful while happy.

So it's interesting that COVID-19 and the lockdown for most of us.

I find that people that were on a path of seeking inwards have come further into that path.

So people are like, okay, hold on, hold on.

I can stay at home for four months and reflect I want more of that is that how you feel?

Do you know what I find I find that when I think about myself personally and I'll put my clients separately. For me it had two consequences. I have a chronic illness anyway. So I was definitely on the vulnerable list and I remember speaking to a friend who works in government and she said,

oh, it's not just a simple one or two months, like you're going to need to be in for at least three months.

And I said, really? And she said, yeah, you're going to, they'll put you on the vulnerable list and you guys probably will be locked down until maybe August.

And so immediately, there was a part of me that was like, oh, actually, this could be interesting.

I'll take it.
