Why You're Not Broken: Jo Robinson-Howarth on Happiness & Trauma

Why You're Not Broken: Jo Robinson-Howarth on Happiness & Trauma

This week Lee is joined by Jo Robinson-Howarth, founder of the Happiness Club — a woman who has experienced pretty much everything life can throw at a person and somehow turned it into a force for good.

Jo grew up in a chaotic household with an alcoholic, emotionally abusive stepfather, lost her biological father at 25, and spent years navigating grief, shame and the gap between how life looks from the outside and how it actually feels. She's now a hypnotherapist, mindfulness practitioner and happiness coach — not because she has all the answers, but because she's lived through most of the questions.

In this episode they talk about:

  • Why happiness isn't a destination — and why chasing it might be the problem
  • The biggest lie the wellness industry sells us
  • Why "improve yourself" implies something's wrong with you (it isn't)
  • The one-size-fits-all myth — and why wellbeing is more like a buffet
  • Social media, highlight reels, and why Jo posts about crying on the regular
  • What children can teach us about emotional intelligence

Honest, funny and completely free of media answers.
