Today's episode is the perfect way to kick-start your 2023! I'm joined by the fabulous Ella Sheehan who gifted me one of my all-time favourite books; 'The Resilience Project: Finding Happiness through Gratitude, Empathy & Mindfulness (GEM). 

This book has the potential to change your life and mine, so we decided to touch on some key parts of the book, GEM, and how we have incorporated these skills into our lives. 

Encompassing Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness can lower stress, anxiety and depression and therefore improve quality of life and optimism.

I strongly encourage you to read Hugh's book and really immerse yourself in the emotions and insight he provides.
