The Happya Life with Clare Deacon

Work Is Draining You More Than You Realise

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2022688/fan_mail/new] There is a particular kind of work exhaustion that rest does not touch. It is there on Monday morning and still there after a week away. It is not about how much you are doing. It is about how much of who you are is in what you are doing. In this episode, Clare explores what is really happening when work drains you more than it used to, even when you cannot point to a specific reason why. Why this kind of depletion is almost always about misalignment rather than workload. What it is costing you beyond the professional. And what becomes possible when you finally ask the question most people avoid: is this still the right work for who I am now? This is for you if you are functioning and delivering and getting it done, but running on empty somewhere underneath all of that.

You Know It's Right So Why Is It So Hard to Let Go

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2022688/fan_mail/new] When a relationship ends and you know it was right, the expectation is that letting go should follow. Logic says so. Everyone around you says so. But your body does not work on logic. In this episode, Clare explores what is really happening when you cannot let go even when you know you should. Why the pull back is not weakness or a sign you made the wrong decision. Why your nervous system stays attached long after your mind has moved on. And why the hardest part is often not losing the person, but losing the version of yourself that existed inside the relationship. Because the women who come out of this most whole are not the ones who forced themselves to move on. They are the ones who understood what they were actually grieving, and did that work properly. This is for you if you are tired of cycling. Tired of returning to it. Tired of knowing something is right and still not feeling free. A Cuppa and Chat is a low-risk conversation to find out whether working with Clare is the right fit. Book at happyacoach.com/chat [https://happyacoach.com/chat]. You do not have to decide today.

Your Emotions Feel Out of Control But There's a Reason

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2022688/fan_mail/new] Nobody prepares you for what menopause does to how you feel about yourself. The physical symptoms get talked about, occasionally. But the emotional shifts, the loss of your old patience, the going from calm to overwhelmed in moments, the reactions that do not feel like you, that part gets largely skipped over. And because it gets skipped over, you can end up going through one of the most significant hormonal and neurological transitions of your life, wondering if something is wrong with you. In this episode, Clare explores what is actually happening when your emotional experience feels out of control during menopause. Not to dismiss it as "just hormones," but to help you understand what your nervous system is doing, what it is trying to tell you, and why the signals underneath the dysregulation are worth listening to. Because understanding what is driving how you feel is the beginning of something changing. And the question underneath all of it, not just "what is happening to me?" but "who am I becoming?", is one worth asking. Book a free Cuppa and Chat with Clare at happyacoach.com/chat.

You Don't Feel Like Yourself Anymore But Nothing's Wrong

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2022688/fan_mail/new] There is a version of this that so many women quietly live with. Life, on the surface, looks fine. You are functioning, getting things done, showing up. But underneath that, something is not sitting right. And the harder you try to identify it, the more it slips away from you. That quiet mismatch is one of the most disorienting places to be, because when nothing is obviously wrong, you have no permission slip to feel the way you do. So you push it down. You carry on. You wonder if something is wrong with you. In this episode, Clare explores what is really happening when your sense of who you are begins to quietly drift. Not as a crisis to solve, but as something worth understanding. Because when you understand that what you are feeling is identity drift, not a character flaw or ingratitude, the question "who am I now" stops feeling like a threat. And something that has felt frightening starts to feel like an invitation. If you have been building a life where being needed has quietly become your identity, this episode is for you.
