This week, clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and content creator Dr Julie Smith joins us to dismantle the myth of constant happiness and offer practical tools for navigating life's inevitable storms.
In this conversation, we explore why young people are struggling despite having it "the best it's ever been," the crucial difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence, and how our modern obsession with optimisation is setting us up for failure. Julie shares the powerful "predator mindset" that helped her through her own health crisis, explains why feelings are information rather than problems to fix, and introduces the "solid back five" concept – fundamental pillars of mental wellbeing that we constantly underestimate.
