How writing things down has so many benefits for your mental health

Final episode, thank you and goodbye!

In this special final episode of Positive 5 with Kiri, I say goodbye to you all but feel joy on the moments we’ve shared together. This last year, we have celebrated the simple power of everyday foods like eggs and nuts, to exploring the benefits of yoga, vitamin D, cycling and singing! Each episode has been a reminder that wellbeing doesn’t have to be overwhelming, small steps truly make a big difference. Most importantly, it’s a huge thank you for listening, sharing, trying new things, and joining me in this little pocket of positivity week after week. Your messages, your feedback, and your willingness to show up for yourself have meant the world. I am not disappearing! I have a new podcast in 2026 starting called 'Dancing Through Business'. Hosted by Julie and Kiri, friends for over 20 years, dancers and business owners, 'Dancing Through Business' explores the sweet spot between creativity, wellbeing and entrepreneurship. Sometimes it’s just the two of them chatting about dance, movement and building a business, sometimes they interview founders and wellbeing experts. If you love health, business, creativity and keeping your life moving, this podcast is for you. See you there! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
