🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me.

In this opening episode of Happya Ever After, Clare Deacon shares her personal story of life after the sudden death of her husband not by retelling the traumatic event, but by speaking honestly about what came after.

This episode is about the early shock, the long middle where survival stopped working, and the quiet, difficult process of finding a way forward when the future you planned no longer exists.

Clare speaks openly about:

• The numbness and disorientation of early grief
• Functioning on the outside while falling apart inside
• The pressure to “perform” grief for others
• The moment survival stopped being enough
• Why this experience led to the creation of Happya Ever After

This is not a story of fixing grief or moving on.

It’s a story of living through loss, finding agency again, and choosing a different narrative one that allows grief and hope to exist side by side.

This episode anchors the heart of the series and explains who Happya Ever After is for: those who have survived loss and are quietly wondering if there is another way to live.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, irritated, or quietly resistant to mainstream wellness culture, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon explores what wellbeing really means once you strip away the noise, pressure, and performance of the wellness industry.

This is a grounded, psychologically informed conversation about why so many intelligent, capable women feel alienated by wellness trends and why that reaction makes sense.

Clare unpacks:

• Why the wellness industry often increases pressure rather than reducing it
• How wellbeing has been turned into another form of self-optimisation
• The difference between wellbeing, performance, and coping
• Why “doing more” isn’t the answer for a tired nervous system
• How positive psychology and nervous system science define wellbeing differently
• What wellbeing looks like after long periods of survival and responsibility

This episode is not about rejecting wellbeing it’s about reclaiming it.

If you’ve tried the routines, read the books, and still feel like something doesn’t fit, you’re not failing. You’re likely ready for a more honest, sustainable conversation about wellbeing that respects your life, your nervous system, and your intelligence.

What happens when the role you’ve always played the strong one, the reliable one, the one who always copes starts to feel too heavy?

In this episode of The Happya Life, Clare Deacon, trauma-informed therapist and positive psychology coach, unpacks the quiet identity shift that so many women go through when they begin loosening the roles that once kept them safe.

We explore:

• Why high-functioning isn’t always high-fulfilling
• How roles we play for survival eventually become identities
• What it means to feel flat, numb, or lost even when everything looks “fine”
• Why stepping out of old patterns can feel like risk, not relief
• How to navigate the in-between without rushing to redefine yourself

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Who am I without the version of me everyone expects?” this is a gentle, grounded conversation to meet you in that space.

🎧 Listen now, and let’s explore this together.
