When it comes to nutrition advice, there's so much information (and mis-information) out there that it's easy to become overwhelmed. That's where today's podcast guest comes in.

James Collier is the Co-Founder of Huel and now an author, with his new book "Well Fed: How modern diets are failing us and what we can do about it".

In this episode of the How to Thrive Podcast, Claire and Helen talk to James about how to separate nutrition fact from fiction, the importance of critical thinking and why eating with others is beneficial in some surprising ways.

We also find out James' three top tips for thriving as we start the new year with a bang.

What does it take to create a positive ripple effect? This week on the How to Thrive podcast, we reflect on our recent How to Thrive Vet event, where speakers inspired audiences with practical insights on resilience, leadership, and positivity.

Claire and Helen discuss the "Doctor of Happiness" Andy Cope, who shared lessons on creating "to-be" lists instead of "to-do" lists, as well as the seven-second hug!

They also recap key takeaways from Dr Paul Horwood’s talk on the future of leadership, including catchphrases like "ethics is not a county outside London" and "don't recruit a team of minions".

And Helen shares insights from her own session on civility in the workplace, and how simple acts of kindness and respect can transform workplace culture, reduce stress, and ultimately improve outcomes.

How many of us recognise this routine: Get up in the morning, try to perform as hard as we possibly can, for as long as can, and then go to bed? Sometimes it feels like the right thing to do, or even the only thing we can do. But deep down we know it is not particularly efficient.

Dr Rob Archer is a chartered psychologist who specialises in helping teams and individuals build resilience, improve mental health and sustain high performance. In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, he argues that what we actually need to do is think about the times of focus and how we prepare ourselves for those and then recover afterwards, so we can maintain performance levels.

Rob, Claire and Helen discuss the best ways to maintain motivation and effectiveness over the long haul without burning out. They look at practical strategies for setting realistic goals, managing energy levels, and creating a balanced approach to work that promotes both productivity and well-being. In short, how to thrive!

How do you practise resilience in the face of personal and professional stress? How do you make sure you are being as kind as possible to yourself and others?

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, Claire and Helen discuss how life's unexpected difficulties often demand resilience, and how that's sometimes easier said than done, even when we’re teaching it to others.

They also delve into the topic of civility - why it's important and how it can save lives.

How many times have you whizzed through an online training course at work, only to instantly forget everything it was supposed to be teaching you? How many times have you been tested on a company policy that has next to no impact on your day-to-day role?

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire and Helen meet Christian Hunt, a man who is on a mission to change all of that.

Through his company Human Risk Ltd he is trying to make the workplace a little more human, and help employees thrive.

Part of that is removing unnecessary training, which he says can have a really detrimental effect on the employee-employer relationship, and could be counter-productive when it comes to compliance.

Check out Christian's book Humanizing Rules.

"If you avoid doing something you're afraid of, you're telling your unconscious that it's dangerous, which then creates a pattern of fear."

In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire and Helen meet Jodi Goldman, a personal impact specialist who packs a punch.

Jodi is all about helping women "own the room with magnetic confidence, assertive communication skills and a powerful personal brand".

She discusses the power of the five second rule, why she believes it's important to recognise men and women as equal but different, and the role how we dress can play in how we perceive ourselves.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - let's go!

We're back after the summer break and feeling energised for the year ahead!

In this episode, co-hosts and sisters Claire and Helen chat about the taking time to reflect on what will make their business thrive (and what will not), the importance of perspective, and recognising your strengths.

They also discuss exam results, prancing ponies, and how a donkey made a good point about assertiveness.
