In Part Two of our conversation with the amazing Niamh from The Wellness Clinic, we delve into mindfulness, stress management, and the art of slow living. Discover what it takes to maintain balance, stay regulated, identify stressors and implement effective solutions. It's essential to not only eliminate triggers but also understand why they exist. From navigating busy schedules to parenting in isolation, everyday strategies are crucial for self-care and meeting the needs of both ourselves and our loved ones.

There's tremendous power in crafting homes that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also align with the dynamics of life and its ever-changing nature. Having a sanctuary to retreat to amidst the chaos of the world is incredibly important. In a world often portrayed by picture-perfect magazine homes, Laura focuses on designing spaces that cater to the needs of "normal" people navigating family life—where the goal might simply be to drain the peas!

Breaking free from the vicious cycle of our thoughts and emotions and understanding our internal workings is essential for reclaiming control of our lives and returning from dark places. Letting go allows us to find the inner strength to confront life's challenges and allow the dust to settle. Recognising the extent to which we absorb external influences and the value of honest conversations are crucial for honouring ourselves and addressing our true needs.

More about Moebius Syndrome:

Moebius Syndrome is an extremely rare neurological disorder which is present at birth. The exact incidence is unknown. It is characterised by weakening or paralysis of the muscles in the face which control expression and lateral eye movements. People born with Moebius syndrome are unable to smile or frown, blink their eyes, or suck, although sometimes only one side is affected. Other physical problems are sometimes present in people with Moebius syndrome, such as clubfoot; mouth, tongue and jaw deformities; and respiratory illnesses. Although Moebius syndrome is sometimes associated with intellectual disabilities such as autism, and development delays, it mainly affects children of normal intelligence and cognitive development. The disorder is named after the German physician Paul Julius Möbius who described the condition in 1888. More recently it has been referred to as Moebius sequence, a more accurate description of this kind of disorder, where a single embryological event leads to a chain of developmental defects. Taken from https://www.facialpalsy.org.uk/

Dolly is a powerhouse of inspiration not only in business but also in parenting! How to go against culture that makes us feel like we have no choice? How to choose business over fullness? Getting uncomfortable and tackling things head on is very important and also apply to parenting. It is so important to not fall into the victim trap and build self awareness. Rising humans that will be great contributors to society is a challenge, but we can inspire and support each other! And maybe sometimes treat kids like cats!?

Welcome back to Busy House, Happy Home.

It feels so lovely to be back with the podcast, and I couldn’t think of a nicer way to begin Season 7 than by sharing an extract from my book, Through the Seasons.

In this episode, I read from the winter section of the book, followed by the January chapter, A Gentle Reset. Winter is a season I truly cherish - not in spite of its starkness, but because of it. It’s a time for stillness, warmth, reflection, and finding comfort in simple, timeless rituals at home.

January, in particular, feels like a quiet pause after the bustle of December. A month for restoring order gently, nourishing ourselves well, and easing into a new rhythm - without pressure or lofty resolutions. Just small, grounding acts of care that help us feel calm and settled again.

I also share a little about why the podcast has been on pause, why now feels like the right time to return, and how I see this season of the podcast unfolding - gently, intuitively, and in a way that feels right.

This episode is perfect to listen to while you’re pottering at home, cooking, walking, or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• A winter reading from Through the Seasons
• January reflections and a gentle reset for the new year
• Thoughts on slowing down, cosiness, and seasonal living
• Why the podcast is returning now
• What to expect from Busy House, Happy Home going forward

Welcome back to Busy House, Happy Home.

Today I’m joined by Charlotte Clark, a personal stylist and coach, for a really enjoyable and honest conversation about style, confidence, and dressing for real life.

Charlotte shares how her work combines personal styling and coaching, and why the two are so closely linked. We talk about how what we wear can influence how confident we feel, how we carry ourselves, and how we show up, whether that’s at work, at home, or simply going about our day.

We discuss wardrobe edits and why they are not about throwing everything away and starting again, but about understanding what suits you, what you actually wear, and how to make the most of what you already have. Charlotte talks about buying once and buying well, avoiding overwhelm, and how accessories, colour and a few thoughtful pieces can completely change how an outfit feels.

We also talk about dressing through different stages of life, including returning to work, menopause, changing bodies, and the reality of busy days where comfort and practicality matter just as much as style.

Charlotte shares stories from her work that show how deeply personal clothing can be, and how confidence is often tied to life experiences, not trends.

Charlotte also opens up about her own journey, including her experience with breast cancer at a young age, and how that shaped her outlook, her career path, and her desire to help others feel confident, supported and seen. We talk about vulnerability, empathy, and how helping people feel good in themselves often goes far beyond clothes alone.

This episode is a gentle, thoughtful conversation about confidence, self-belief, and finding what works for you, now, not who you used to be or who you think you should be.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why Charlotte combines styling and coaching
• How clothes affect confidence and presence
• What wardrobe edits really involve
• Buying less and choosing better
• Accessories, colour and simple outfit changes
• Dressing through menopause and body changes
• Returning to work and rebuilding confidence
• Charlotte’s personal journey and career shift
• Why empathy and vulnerability matter
