In this episode, Hazel and Rachael explore the art and science of celebrating success.
They discuss how social and cultural influences often lead us to downplay our achievements and delve into how our inner critic can block us, why self-compassion is key, and how to define success on your own terms.
They also examine the tension between celebrating others and the trap of comparison.

In this episode, Rachael and Hazel respond to a question about how to survive and thrive when we choose to do tough stuff. They explore the science behind this and share examples from their own lives.
They cover the basics of well-being, such as sleep and diet, and the importance of incorporating “active rest”. They also discuss the importance of self-care strategies that emphasise creating opportunities over following unhelpful rules; and self-kindness as a way to avoid getting caught up in the external “shoulds” of our choices. Central to it all is the concept of managing short-term needs and long-term gain.
If you are interested in how to achieve balance when choosing to do tough stuff, then this episode is for you.
