    How having a morning routine can be life changing - with Be Well founder Sarah Dunning

    After a wee summer break Happy Thistle is back with Woody chatting to her gorgeous friend and mentor Sarah Dunning. Sarah was a professional dancer but after suffering a horrendous neck injury was forced to retire in her 20’s from the only thing she knew. After struggling with what she was going to do Sarah  was introduced to network marketing and is now one of the top earner’s in her company, Arbonne. She’s a mum of 3 and is now also a property and business investor and after many years of being terrified of public speaking she now actually describes herself as a ‘Public Speaker’ ...she credits this to self development  and having a morning routine!

    Live life, love hard & never ever give up - with Jane Macdonell

    Today’s episode of Happy Thistle covers a hugely sensitive topic. Teenage suicide. I met Jane Macdonell last year and was struck by her incredible resilience, strength, unbelievable courage, lust for life and attempt to still try and be happy.  How is this possible I kept asking myself?  Jane was dealt the cruellest of all blows as a mother.. the death of her 19 year old son Harris through suicide. With the support of her husband Dave, their three children, friends, family and local community Jane gets up every morning to tackle life. They set up the ‘Harris Trust’ ~ a charity to raise awareness and provide training around neurodiversity and mental health in the Scottish Borders.  They’ve organised ceilidhs, runs, concerts. Ultimately it’s all about helping prevent what happened to them happen again to another family. Jane’s mantra is: ‘Try to find something that gives you joy every day. It can be a very small thing but you can find it. ‘ I cannot express how in awe I am of this woman. You will need tissues.

    Happy Thistle - Where it all began

    Hello gorgeous people, welcome to Happy Thistle!   I'm Woody Morris, hugely passionate about Scotland, my family, having fun and inspiring you to live a happy life full out💜 I was a former Sky Sports, GMTV and Scot Sport Rugby Round up presenter and now a health and nutrition life coach, I run my own health and wellness business & last year qualified as a paddle board instructor. After 20 years living away from my homeland I now live in the beautiful Scottish Borders with my Welsh hubby Phil & my 3 children Harri, Molly & Archie. I now lives on a wee mini farm where you can find me paddle boarding, running, riding and hanging out with my 4 sheep and her 3 crazy dogs Mowgli, Baloo & Selkie. Last years I completed a challenge of raising  £100k for Cash for Kids despite being hospitalised twice with a punctured lung and broken ribs while learning to ride in an attempt to do a charity horse race. I run every single day …currently on day 930 and at 51, I'm a huge advocate of the fact age is but a number,  life is short so make it amazing! I want to say a big shout out to all of the people who have said to me over the years, "Woody, you've got to do a podcast and you've got to share all your happiness hacks with people!"... This has been a long time coming and I'm ecstatic to say it's finally here!! Enjoy!
