Today Mel talks to Meg Joyce, brand therapist, as they explore the art of choosing joy over pessimism, even in the trickiest moments. Discover how optimism can be trained like a muscle and how simple shifts in perspective can transform everyday experiences.
They discuss the psychological 'blueprints' formed in childhood that shape our happiness and how we can actively rewire our perspectives for a joyful existence. Through personal anecdotes and insightful discussions, they highlight the importance of practicing hope, noticing beauty, and cultivating a positive mindset.
