Hacking Happy with Penny Locaso Penny Locaso

The neuroscience of motherhood.

Have you ever suffered from a baby's brain or questioned how your brain has changed since becoming a mother?

If the answer is yes, it’s time to meet Dr Sarah McKay.

Sarah is a globally acclaimed neuroscientist and the author of The Women's Brain Book—The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, and Baby Brain—the surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better).

In this thought-provoking conversation, Sarah shifts the deficit perspective we so often hear about how women’s brains turn to mush after giving birth to how our brains actually become meaner, leaner and more efficient.

This month, I’m celebrating nine years in my own business.

Nine years as a Lifestylepreneur, and I want to celebrate this moment with you because far too often, I see purpose-led women in business losing heart and motivation because they’re focusing on all the things that aren’t working rather than acknowledging the progress they’ve made.

This week’s episode of the Hacking Happy podcast is Part 2 in the Lessons of a Lifestylpreneur series, a reflective podcast series designed to empower you to acknowledge the progress you're making when doing hard things so that you can stay the course. The win is in the long and consistent game, so I’ve learned.

This month, I’m celebrating nine years in my own business. 9 years as a Lifestylepreneur, and I want to celebrate this moment with you because far too often, I see purpose-led women in business losing heart and motivation because they’re focusing on all the things that aren’t working rather than acknowledging the progress they’ve made and what has worked.

This podcast reflects the lessons I’ve learned over the last nine years as a Lifestylepreneur. I want to share with you the power of acknowledging progress when you’re playing a long game and hopefully inspire you to create your own reflective practice to help you stay the course when doing hard things.

I also want to share the truth of running your own business in a world of BS gurus selling how they made six figures in 5 minutes and how you can do the same.

Have you ever considered how much real estate in your brain is consumed by the attachments you hold? Attachment is our way of trying to control uncertainty which let’s face it is impossible in a world where uncertainty is the only certainty.



Attachment gives away our power, our energy and our precious present time to overthinking.



That’s why in this week’s episode I’m sharing a powerful experiment I tested on myself and with my community in The Present Woman Challenge to help you reclaim your power by creating awareness of how much of it you are giving away to attachments shaped by the hurt of the past or the fear of the future.



Come journey with me on what is a vulnerable and profound insight into how our attachments shape our stories and our lives.

In this episode, we explore the power of feeling to heal. I share the concept of compassionate inquiry and how this trauma therapy approach provides a means to start to reconnect with your ability to feel whole again.

We expose how suppressing feelings can have long-term negative effects on our health and happiness, and I share a practical process to help you cultivate a feeling practice for healing.

Key takeaways from this episode:


Allowing oneself to feel is a powerful way to heal and gain insight into emotions and experiences.
Compassionate inquiry is a therapeutic approach that helps reveal unconscious dynamics and liberate oneself from self-generated suffering.
Suppressing feelings can have long-term negative effects on health and happiness, and it is important to cultivate a practice of feeling and processing emotions.
Practical practices for cultivating a feeling to heal include paying attention to tension in the body, dropping into the body, welcoming and exploring feelings, and integrating the experience through writing.

Have you ever felt like you're constantly battling against invisible forces in your life, your work or your business? Wrestling with emotions, you can't quite explain and behaviours that seem out of your control?

If the answer is hell yes, this week's podcast on trauma was made for you.

I'm going to share how...


Trauma isn't just about what happens to you but how it reshapes our inner world.
Avoiding trauma processing can lead to disconnection from ourselves and hinder our path to fulfilment and our potential.
Understanding trauma is pivotal for fostering self-compassion and empathy towards ourselves and others.

Together, we'll explore...


Insights into the invisible forces shaping your life and relationships.
Simple yet powerful methods to reconnect with your body and start the journey towards healing.
The transformative potential of embodiment and self-awareness in reclaiming your wholeness and stepping into your power.

Join me as we learn how to listen to our body's whispers to heal.
