In this episode, Hannah is joined by Sophie Cliff, also known as the Joyful Coach. Sophie talks through her journey of leaving her corporate career to become a coach focused on helping people find more joy in everyday life. After experiencing a personal loss, Sophie turned to positive psychology for healing, eventually returning to university to pursue a master's degree. Since then, she has made it her mission to help others focus on joy, even in challenging times. She discusses how workplace culture can impact individual happiness and why it’s crucial to integrate joy into both our personal and professional lives. Sophie also dives into the importance of self-care (especially for women who often put others first), the power of gratitude, and how creating space for spontaneity can lead to a more joyful life. Hannah OBVIOUSLY loves all of Sophie's insights, being a fellow positive psychology advocate herself and shares some of her own anecdotes and learnings. Together, they stress the importance of experiencing the full range of emotions and avoiding toxic positivity. Emotional balance is about embracing both the good and the bad, while also modeling joy for future generations. Throughout the conversation, Sophie shares insights on how we can challenge societal pressures, prioritise joy, and create more fulfilling lives.
Sophie’s journey and work are super inspiring and she is a great role model for mothers and women juggling the projected social pressures of life.
Whether you’re seeking to lighten your load, find ways to step up your self-care or inject more joy in your work and life, this episode will leave you feeling seen and inspired!
