Welcome back to the Happier Approach, the show that pulls back the curtain on the need to succeed, hustle, and achieve at the price of our inner peace and relationships. Nancy VO: Hey guys, it’s me! Nancy Jane Smith. And it is possible to struggle and still be strong and that your vulnerability is your superpower. Jill: I’d just say to anyone who is feeling that they’re in a really tough place and that somehow their truffles define them or make them weak or weird or abnormal. Tips for recognizing the BFF voice and distinguishing between self-care and self-indulgence.Ĭheck out Jill's Twitter account Jill on Instagram Jill's books When You're Not OK, Happy Never After, and High Sobriety through her website: She also shares some tips that she's picked up from her own experiences dealing with her inner critic. Jill tells us about her experience giving up alcohol, and how practicing radical honesty around that tough decision totally kick-started her career as an author. Nancy also speaks to writer and mental health advocate Jill Stark, author of three books about mental health. Nancy walks us through a typical tug-of-war between her Monger and BFF, and tells us how she's able to quiet those voices. But the BFF can push us over the line from self-care to self-indulgence very quickly. The BFF has good intentions- she's often jumping in to argue with the Monger when that mean voice of self-criticism gets too loud. In this episode, we get close and personal with another central character in the Happier Approach: the overindulgent BFF. Inspired by my roots and what I enjoy as a listener, I partnered with audio producer Nicki Stein, and together we have created the latest iteration. I realized that the only podcasts I listen to were narrative style, like my favorite, Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell. In 2021, I decided to return to my storytelling roots. We changed the name to the Happier Approach after my 3rd book by the same name. I moved it out of “the garage” and hired a production team. ![]() In 2019 I hit 100 episodes and decided to up my game. THEN I became inspired by mindfulness hacks, small ways to get into your body throughout the day, so I changed then name to Happiness Hacks and again kept it to short, bite-sized episodes. ![]() And whenever I felt inspired, I showed up and recorded a short story about Living Happier. I wanted to share stories, so I called it Stories from a Quest to Live Happier as a nod to my first book Juice Squeezed, Lessons from a Quest to Live Happier. I lovingly refer to it as my garage band podcast.
