    “I have no interest in mediocrity!” Adam Pearson on having confidence to be extraordinary

    Did you have dreams of being extraordinary when you were a kid? For many of us, adult life starts chipping away at those big hopes and goals, but actor and disability campaigner Adam Pearson has no interest in being ‘normal’ or ‘mediocre’.   In this chat with Fearne, Adam explains how never having the luxury of being invisible – he was born with neurofibromatosis – has given him confidence to really stand out. So how did he go from being bullied at school to boldly starring on the big screen?   They talk about systemic ableism within the film and TV industries, and Adam explains why it shouldn’t be the job of the disability community to fix a problem they didn’t create... but often is. Plus, why is it that it’s always the movie villains who are facially disfigured, never the heroes? Plus, the three types of people you need in your life: a truth teller, a confidant, and a ride or die...   If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:   Jono Lancaster   Samantha Renke   Sophie Morgan Hosted on Acast.

    Helen Glover on progress over perfection: shift your perspective on success

    You’ve got to give new things a go and not give up when you’re a bit crap at first. Team GB Olympic rower Helen Glover is clear that a huge part of her success is thanks to her mindset that it’s better to try and fail than not try at all.   In this chat with Fearne, Helen explains how to have the discipline to stick at stuff that feels important to you, even if it doesn’t always feel easy. By her own admission, Helen “couldn’t have been further from an Olympian” when she started training...   At Tokyo 2020, Helen was the first mum to represent Great Britain in rowing at an Olympic Games. She’s passionate about pushing back on the perception that age or parenthood should be a barrier in anything you’re trying to achieve. She and Fearne unpick the narrative that says women probably won’t be all that ambitious once they’ve had kids!   Plus, what’s the weirdest place you’ve found yourself breastfeeding in? Fearne and Helen share theirs...   If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:   Molly McCann   Leah Williamson   Adele Roberts Hosted on Acast.

    Coleen Rooney: Marriage takes work! Coping with the press and raising four kids

    How good are you at being honest with other people? Go on, be honest with yourself about that one! Coleen Rooney would always rather tell the truth before a situation escalates.   In this chat with Fearne, Coleen explains how she’s instilling that honesty is the best policy in her four sons, as well as why she’s so grateful to have a village around her to help raise her boys. With four children, Coleen is in a lot of school gate WhatsApp groups, so she and Fearne spill what really goes down in those wild group chats...   They also chat about how she and husband Wayne prioritise time as a couple, especially after so many years together, and what it was really like being thrust into the public eye as a teenager just because her boyfriend was a footballer.   Plus, Coleen has dealt with some incredibly stressful situations in her life, so what does she do to make sure it doesn’t overwhelm her?   Coleen is an ambassador for the protein, vitamins and collagen brand Applied Nutrition.    If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:   Lemn Sissay   Ashley John Baptiste   Gary and Emma Neville Hosted on Acast.

    "Get comfortable with people not liking you!" Florence Given on embracing the cringe

    Do you cringe at other people’s joy? Author and illustrator Florence Given reckons cringing at others is telling you something about how you feel about yourself...   In this chat Fearne and Florence get into how to really start living unapologetically as your full delicious self. Cringing at others might be showing you’re a bit pissed off that someone else is able to do something you want permission to.   Florence explains how anxiety from being bullied at school kick-started her questioning everything the world was telling her. Why do I have to be ‘pretty’? Why am I ‘too much’? Why do I care about being liked?   You can’t let other people shrink your self-expression; Florence talks Fearne through how to not take comments and opinions personally. Plus, why resting feels like such a radical thing to do...   Florence’s book, Women Living Deliciously, is out now.   If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:   Paloma Faith   Beverley Knight   Caitlin Moran Hosted on Acast.

    Book Club Meets: Desire, hormones, and tampons, with Miranda July

    Would you rip up your current life and reinvent yourself if you had the chance? Do you have desires you’d want to explore? Maybe there are hidden parts of yourself you’ve never had the chance to get to know? Which societal rules would you want to ignore?   Author Miranda July asks all these questions in October’s Happy Place Book Club novel: All Fours. She picks apart how we can fall into the monotony of every day routine instead of acknowledging the wild emotions and longings inside us.   In this chat, Fearne and Miranda talk about fluctuating hormones, pressures of motherhood, sexual fantasies (some of which may or may not involve tampons), and menopause as an incredibly exciting and sacred transitional period.   Fearne asks Miranda to help her be even more painfully unfiltered in her own writing, while Miranda exclusively reveals how she originally intended the novel to end. Plus, what about this book made Fearne say it was the ‘one of the hottest, sexiest things’ she’d ever read...? Thank you to Canongate Books for the use of All Fours audiobook, read by Miranda July.   Listen to Book Club Meets: Gillian Anderson   Listen to Book Club Meets: Patric Gagne   Listen to Book Club Meets: Holly Gramazio   Listen to Book Club Meets: Sofie Hagen Hosted on Acast.

    Perrie Edwards: Friendship Break Ups, The Cost of Fame and Facing Criticism as a Working Mum

    A panic attack can feel like you’re dying from a heart attack; this is something former Little Mix member Perrie Edwards has experienced numerous times over the last few years.   In this chat, Perrie talks about how her anxiety feels like her adult is ‘going offline’, leaving the child in her crying for help, and Fearne shares how she’s managed to stop having panic attacks (for now, at least).   You might be good at advocating for the people you love, but how good are you at advocating for yourself and your own needs? Possibly a bit rubbish? Perrie explains how she’s got better at speaking her mind, as well as getting emotional about how important friendships are to her.   Plus, why do Fearne and Perrie both reckon the term ‘hands-on dad’ can fuck right off...?   Perrie’s new single, You Go Your Way, is out now.   If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:   Jesy Nelson   Leigh-Anne Pinnock   Poppy Delbridge Hosted on Acast.

    Understanding neurodiversity: managing ADHD and getting diagnoses

    It’s ADHD Awareness Month, so Fearne’s reflecting on some of the conversations she’s had about neurodiversity on the show that’ll hopefully help you understand either yourself, or someone you love, even better...   First, what are the signs and symptoms of ADHD? Do you recognise more of the hyperactive & impulsive symptoms like rashly spending money and substance addiction, or the inattentive ones like problems with working memory and organisation?   Then there’s chat about how having undiagnosed ADHD can lead to mental health problems, why there’s so much shame in the neurodivergent community, and how to advocate for your needs in the workplace.   Can ADHD be managed with lifestyle factors like nutrition and movement, or might you or a loved one benefit from medication? Plus, why it’s so important to differentiate between neurodivergence and the emotional dysregulation everyone can experience.   Watch Dr Shy Mashru on What Is How To   Listen to Gemma Style’s episode   Listen to Alex Partridge’s episode   Listen to Jordan Stephen’s episode   Listen to Lucinda Miller’s episode   Listen to Kate Silverton’s episode Hosted on Acast.

    Tulisa: Abundance mindset, court cases, and hobbit holes

    You can choose to be bitter, or you can choose to be at peace. This is something Tulisa has learnt after numerous testing life experiences: that we each have the power to choose contentment over anger. In this chat with Fearne, Tulisa talks about the real sink or swim moments that could have seen her drown, but helped build resilience instead, including multiple high profile court cases. She explains how she’s got to a point where she genuinely doesn’t mind if she’s liked or not – something Fearne wants to learn how to get better at – as well as how being a young carer for her mum still affects her today. Plus, Tulisa explains the strange reason Britney Spears has a British accent in the song Scream & Shout...
