CAUTION: Contains swearing and themes of an adult nature.\nIt is my absolute pleasure to be able to share today\u2019s conversation with you. I\u2019m speaking with fellow podcaster and author Fearne Cotton, someone I count as a good friend and kindred spirit.\nFearne has been a talented and high-profile star on UK TV and radio since the age of 15. But these days she\u2019s found her \u2018happy place\u2019 out of the public glare, living with intention and sharing her experiences with a like-minded audience. Fearne\u2019s latest book, Bigger Than Us, is a beautiful exploration of spirituality, connection, and a judgement-free look at our ideas of wellness.\nAs this episode begins, Fearne shares her very recent heartbreak at losing a cherished companion of 20 years, her rescue cat Lula. We talk about her bereavement, the experience of grief and how it can open us up to spiritual thinking and finding meaning. Fearne is a big believer that self-compassion is the key to living an authentic life, although she freely admits this is something she struggles with. We discuss honouring the good and bad in our lives, and how letting go of the past and limiting beliefs doesn\u2019t mean blocking them out \u2013 just refusing to carry them around with us.\nWhat I love about Fearne\u2019s approach is that she doesn\u2019t claim to be an expert in self-help \u2013 she\u2019s just super-keen to share what\u2019s worked for her and might interest others. Perhaps the best example of this is Fearne\u2019s Happy Place Festival, which brings people together for the sorts of communal experiences we agree can be life-changing.\nI so enjoyed talking to Fearne. She\u2019s honest, relatable and she helps so many people through her work. I\u2019m honoured that she felt able to come on the podcast at what was a difficult time for her. But as you\u2019ll hear, there\u2019s much light and laughter in this conversation too. It\u2019s a very special one \u2013\xa0I think you\u2019ll enjoy it.\nThanks to our sponsors:\n\xa0\nhttps://calm.com/livemore\n\xa0\nhttp://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore\nhttps://vivobarefoot.com/livemore\nOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book\xa0Happy Mind, Happy Life:\xa0UK version\xa0and\xa0US & Canada version\n\xa0\nShow notes available at\xa0https://drchatterjee.com/230\n\xa0\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
