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 Julie Creffield, an “activator of people” who works as a business growth strategist helping clients grow audiences and build impactful, mission-led businesses. She also runs, and has done for around 11 years, a plus size fitness business call Too Fat to Run.
As you will discover, Julie is down to earth, honest, and authentic in her approach. She talks passionately about all that she does. In fact, in discussing the variety of work they both undertake Sarah and Julie agree that neither of them wants to be ‘niched’ and put in a box.
They are their own niche!
As this episode unfolds you will hear how Julie came to write her book ‘Leading from the Back’ following the most challenging time of her life during the pandemic. And how when she arrived in Rhodes, giving herself some time out to do so, she burst into tears when she first walked into the sea - her role as a leader in business had seen her holding space for 1000s of business owners and plus size women, including key workers, during the crazy months when the UK was in full lockdown. It had an impact on her wellbeing too.
Julie talks about leadership, leading from the back and we can all play our part and the social anxieties that have arisen as a result of the pandemic and how even she has struggled going out again socially.
She had ‘forgotten’ how do it!
In fact, together they discuss the impact that the pandemic has had on mental health, and fear that has been fed into everyone.
The impact of social media and burn out is covered …
Julie shares her back story, growing up in the East End, in a large family with a history of poverty and how wanting to break this cycle motivates and drives her to create a completely different message to her daughter.
You may be surprised to learn that Julie admits that she is not a naturally happy person, she is motivated and driven, is recognised for being funny and humorous but her default, due to her upbringing, is more in alignment with pessimism. That said, she explains how she works to overcome this to live the life she has today.
And for those plus size women out there who enjoy running – Julie has your back!
This truly is an insightful episode that covers a wide range of subject matter neatly packed into a 40-minute burst that is guaranteed to inspire you in one way or another.

During this milestone episode, the 50th to be released, you will meet the inspiring Katie Neeves, an openly transgender woman and trans ambassador who is on a mission to not only show that it’s OK to be trans, but that it’s actually cool to be trans too.
Katie talks openly and passionately about her journey, her mission in life and naturally educates her audience with heaps of humour and lots of laughter.
Her aim in life is to reach out to trans people who may be struggling with their gender identity, to reassure them and, to lead by example. And, at the same time she wants to educate the general public - the more people who are educated about trans issues (and during this episode you will learn a lot whilst enjoying the discussion and banter between Sarah and Katie), the greater the acceptance and the easier it will be for trans people to live their lives in peace.
In Katie’s words, education can and does save lives.
This truly is an entertaining and educational episode that will provide the listener with answers to many questions (even some they may not have had!) and to an understanding that being your true authentic self is the key to happiness, despite the challenges that we can face as we navigate all that life throws at us.

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 lively episode you’ll meet Eileen Jones, a journalist with a PR business in The Lake District (UK) and author of How parkrun Changed Our Lives.
As you will discover Eileen has been a runner since her early 30s when she used to run and enter fell races all over The Lake District. That was until she found herself slowing down and no longer competing against anyone, to the point she was the last one back to be checked in by a waiting timekeeper when all other contestants had gone home. It was around this time that her sister introduced her to parkrun which was a revelation to her – she was a part of something again. And whilst it isn’t a race she could compete against others if she chose too.
She then discovered the excitement / motivation of being a parkrun tourist and went on to set up Fell Foot parkrun and then helped get a team together to run another in Ambleside.
Eileen extols the benefits of travelling the country and other parts of the world as part of the various parkrun challenges that are there to motivate and inspire via the 5K app that gathers data from parkrun results. In fact, Eileen herself was instrumental in suggesting one of the challenges which sees you entering a parkrun with every letter of your name i.e., Sarah would need to run at an event starting with the letter S, 3 different ones with the letter A (you take surnames into account) and so on until you have completed them all, which of course is different for everyone.
Together they discuss the wide variety of challenges, milestones and fun that can be had from this, free to take part in, weekly event that takes place every Saturday.
You can hear both Eileen’s and Sarah’s natural enthusiasm bursting out during this episode.
As you listen you will discover how Eileen went about launching her book during lockdown when all the bookshops were closed. She wanted to get the book to Bushey Park where it all started – she subsequently managed to arrange a relay of over 100 runners over 370 miles to get the book there within 7 days and extols the joy she felt in making these arrangements and seeing it all come together – in fact she states that it was one of the happiest days of her life when she was able to present the book to Paul Sinton-Hewitt and his wife at the end of the relay.
This is a truly inspiring episode that will make you want to reach for your trainers and head off to your local parkrun, get hooked and become a tourist completing the wide variety of challenges that are out there to inspire and motivate you.
NB – parkrun can be walked as well as run.

Tracy is truly passionate about enabling leaders to create empowered accountable teams who are aligned to strong values and purpose to encourage a fulfilled, happy workforce.
She shares her natural fascination and passion for people, her curiosity and desire to know what is their why, their purpose and motivation in life.
Together they discuss how important it is for companies to value their staff, not only from a financial perspective but also in terms of investing in their growth and development too. And how by creating an engaged workforce staff turnover drops and the bottom line increases as a result.
Whilst Tracy talks about her career, she is also very open about her personal journey too. She was raised within a family who were Jehovah's Witnesses which saw her embracing all nature of challenges from an early age from delivering talks to large groups to speaking to strangers on their doorsteps, and then rebelling and falling into drink and drugs and an abusive relationship.
This is quite an episode to listen to, and draw inspiration from, as Tracy then turned everything around, embraced spirituality, and embarked on creating a whole new life for herself. One which sees her in alignment with her authentic true self and, of course, helping and supporting others.
