Harnessing Happiness with Sarah J Naylor is an upbeat, energetic, and inspiring podcast filled with joy and laughter, wisdom, philosophies, and positive psychology.
Grab a cuppa and take time to relax and listen to this laid-back chat, so okay, Sarah is still a tad loud and enthusiastic, but as you will discover, Craig is quite the opposite, although that does not detract from his passion for ecology, conservation, environmentalism and sustainability in any way shape or form.
Craig is a coastal forager in South Wales. He was a bank manager and started life in the RAF. As you will learn however, he has always had a passion for the seashore, inspired no doubt, by his early days left to his own devices that saw him paddling around in rock pools investigating the wildlife that he found there.
Fast forward many years and you will hear Craig talk about buying ancient woodland, re-planting it with broadleaf trees and going onto developing his coastal foraging business. Which in turn has seen him appear on television with the likes of Mary Berry, Ainsley Harriott and Michael Portillo … he also gives back a lot to charity and has worked with Joanna Lumley to raise funds for a local charity.
An informative and inspiring episode that will see you rushing to the coast on a discovery mission .. but take care, make sure you go with someone who knows their tide times. Or book in with Craig and have a fantastic day out with him and Llew his Golden Retriever.

Katie talks about her journey that has seen her life debilitated and governed by a variety of illness including an auto-immune disorder called ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Discover how, after spending many years raising her children, she re-entered the work force via her husband’s business and started working with social media, which in turn saw her undertaking training and setting up businesses of her own. And as time progressed, she explored other avenues and undertook further training in the areas of personal development in positive psychology, energetics etc. to provide an even better service to her clients.
As the podcast evolves more of Katie’s journey comes to light and between them, she and Sarah talk animatedly about the power of the mind, positive psychology, energetics, vibrational frequencies and so much more.
Whilst you can read more about Katie’s story in ‘Get This Girl Out of Bed’, her chapter in the book, she shares with the listener an incredible health update that has come to light since the book went to press.

Harnessing Happiness with Sarah J Naylor is an upbeat, energetic, and inspiring podcast filled with joy and laughter, wisdom, philosophies, and positive psychology.
During this inspiring episode you will meet the inspiring Charlott McAnsh.
Charlott is married to Jamie McAnsh, who, as per the title of this podcast, did indeed wake up one morning, long before they had even met, to discover that he was paralysed from the waist down.
During this lively chat Charlott explains how in 2014 Jamie went to bed perfectly normal one night only to wake the following morning paralysed from the waist down. This led him to Googling ‘I’ve become disabled, what do I do?’ only to discover that nothing came up as to what he could do next.
The situation he found himself in inspired Jamie to set up See No Bounds, an online business community for the disabled. Charlott talks about the business in more detail, when she joined, how it evolved and how it was impacted firstly by storms in South Wales and then Covid.
As she regularly references, ‘when you fall down you can always get back up again’, their business mantra, that is exactly what they did, and in recognising that suddenly the world had effectively become disabled and people needed support, they expanded their online community and directory into the mainstream and now have 2500 members.
This awe-inspiring pair are also adventurers with a love of the outdoors and climbing and has recently seen them undertaking an epic adventure that Jamie dreamed of doing before he became disabled.
A truly inspiring story of courage and determination.
Jamie has CRPS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. He can now walk with crutches, but he does live with pain in his legs daily.
Tune in and discover that anything is possible if you follow your passions and believe in yourself.
