Harnessing Happiness with Sarah J Naylor is an upbeat, energetic, and inspiring podcast filled with joy and laughter, wisdom, philosophies, and positive psychology.
Tune in and be inspired by Luke’s story. One that saw him leave university somewhat deflated as he quickly discovered the career that he’d been told he could pretty much walk into after graduating wasn’t happening, despite applying for opportunities in the film industry where he wanted to start work.
As you will discover his journey took him from stacking shelves in Tesco to seizing a ‘exciting’ career opportunity that didn’t match up to the one he was sold!! Although he does realise now how the experience played its part synchronously and ultimately saw him making a contact which led him to make further connections that enabled him to manifest his 5-year plan in less than a year. One of running his own business in his own studio space.
Luke was always clear on what he wanted to do it was that belief and focus that made it manifest so much sooner than he could ever believe for which he is incredibly appreciative.
Together they also discuss the other challenges Luke has had to embrace, and overcome, in his late diagnosis of neurodiversity: ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia.
A great episode during which Sarah also discusses elements of her personality that she is beginning to wonder might be partially ADHD related too.
Sarah is naturally engaging, her energy infectious, and whether she is sharing her musings and ramblings about life in general, or having insightful discussions with her guests, as you tune in and listen, your energy levels will rise, a smile will spread across your face as your inner happiness is harnessed.

Tune in and hear Sarah talk about the extreme heat she faced during one of the hottest summers on record in the UK and how she’s now observing, with the drop in temperature, the changing of the seasons. In doing so she references how she and her partner are enjoying the fruits of their labours in harvesting the vegetables that they’ve been growing in the garden and now cooking and eating.
Sarah also highlights how we, as humans, are also part of nature. And how, where possible it’s important to follow our natural flow and slow down as the seasons change, and rest as we tune in to what is important for our bodies to recuperate after the longer days during the summer - which is particularly relevant to life in the UK.
This episode will inspire you to grow your own veg and take life a bit easier as you align yourself with nature.

Tune into this lively, upbeat, and inspiring episode and hear Sarah chat to the fabulous Lis McDermott, who having started her career as a secondary school music teacher is now an author, poet, writing mentor and a tongue in cheek ‘bad ass’ according to a friend!
Lis touches on the 34 years she spent in education, why she became a peripatetic teacher, schools’ advisor, and then undertook training to become a ‘cool’ Ofsted inspector, passing despite failing one of the set tasks.
As their chat evolves you will discover how, following a cancer scare / having part of her colon removed, Lis, then aged 40, divorced her husband of 18 years and started going to soul clubs with her friend.
She explains how she then met the ‘lovely Conrad’ in 1993 who she has been with ever since - 29 years. Which may not sound unusual however, as Lis explains, on paper; socially, educationally, and ethnically, they ‘shouldn’t’ be together. As Lis goes on to state though - love knows no boundaries.
She was born in 1952 as was a single child to older parents in effectively white middle class Britain whilst Conrad, who is of Jamaican descent, was born in 1964 into a large family, raised by his grandparents, lived in various flats growing up, and, due to dyslexia left school without any qualifications.
Lis shares so much more about her life, how she moved out of teaching into photography with Conrad’s support, and then into writing and mentoring other authors, and includes the two of them writing their autobiography, Mixed Feelings, which can be found along with other books by Lis on Amazon.
This truly is an episode of so many parts, incorporating as it does, a fab love story, career changes and happiness. Go on, you know you want to listen!
