À propos de cet épisode

<p>Do you dream of pivoting your career or lifestyle later in life? Poet Donna Ashworth did just that. She began to question the busy, fast-paced, perfectionist lifestyle she assumed was the norm, and decided to start posting and performing her beautiful poetry in her 40s...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this chat with Fearne, Donna explains how she copes with the nerves that come with doing something so new, including hypnotherapy and simply admitting out loud that she’s anxious. She also reflects on how she realised she’d been living with depression and eating disorders for a long time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re not happy it’s up to you to apply change or you can’t expect different outcomes. Donna talks through how to work out if your routine is deliciously comforting for you, or if it’s become a strait-jacket that’s holding you back. Plus, she shares why it’s helpful for others if you’re able to disclose your own ugly truths and flaws.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Donna’s latest book of poetry, To The Women, is out on the 13th of February.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2a7df4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Naomi Watts</a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/20f942" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Poppy Delbridge</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2281ae" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kate Silverton</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
