When we think about mental health and wellbeing, we often think about how we can reduce distress and suffering. But that's only part of the picture. At the heart of Positive Psychology is a focus on what we can all do to significantly improve our individual wellbeing and happiness, which is what this episode is all about. Dr Jodi talks with Clinical and Coaching Psychologist Dr Suzy Green, Founder of the Positivity Institute, revealing how there's more to wellbeing than feeling good, what contributes to our happiness and wellbeing and how everyday brings opportunities for us to enjoy more joy and to savour a whole range of other positive emotions too.

The state of our nervous system influences how 'at home' we feel in our body. When we're feeling stressed and anxious we often look outside of ourselves to try and feel better. We might try to control the stress in our life, which isn't always easy to do, or turn to unhelpful coping strategies to help us relax and feel more regulated. Today's episode reveals a better way.

In this conversation globally renowned nervous system educator Jessica Maguire teaches us nervous system fundamentals, what influences the state of our nervous system, how we can coax our nervous system back to a more regulated state using different strategies and more. Jessica helps us understand what's underneath the symptoms we feel and why we respond in different circumstances the way we do. We talk about anxiety, people pleasing, parenting, the Vagus Nerve and how we can repair our own nervous system over time.

Ever find yourself trapped in a cycle of overthinking; going over and over the same situation in your mind without knowing how to move on? Maybe you worry a lot about things that might happen, or you're very good at jumping to the worst case scenario? Overthinking, rumination and worry can make life extremely difficult. The tendency to replay situations or events from the past, or worry about something that might happen, is common but doesn't have to be debilitating.

In this conversation, Dr Jodi talks with Carly Taylor to shed light on why we can get stuck in a cycle of overthinking and importantly, exactly what we can do about it. Carly uncovers the differences between rumination and worry, explains why we do it, shares openly about her son's rumination as he struggled with the challenges of Cushing's Disease, shares a powerful metaphor to help anyone struggling with overthinking to make change and more.
