Spring clean your life: how to make a fresh start

Is your lifestyle in need of a spring clean? Maybe now’s the moment to pivot your career, pick up healthier habits, or embrace a new life you wouldn’t have chosen, but now need to make the best of?


In this episode, Fearne reflects on the Happy Place episodes that’ll give you a bit of a push – or a bit of inspiration – to get you making that fresh start you’ve been thinking about for ages...


In this episode you’ll hear from –


-Poet Donna Ashworth on making a slow, organic career change later in life, and re-finding who you really want to be under the crap that real life shovels on top of you


-TV personality Mille Mackintosh on giving up alcohol and acknowledging the big moment when you realise something needs to change

-Author Raynor Winn on being forced into a huge lifestyle change by factors out of your control, and choosing to make the best of a bad situation

-Musician Shania Twain on how illness can change you, and how to come back stronger after a huge setback

-Musician Kesha on rethinking and embracing a different side of your character, so your personality reflects who you really are, not who others want you to be

-Charlotte Church on her career change from singer to healer, and how ceremony can help move you into a lifestyle re-birth
