This week I'm joined by Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard professor, bestselling author and one of the world's leading experts on the science of human happiness, and someone who has spent his life answering one of the most fundamental questions we all ask and what does it actually mean to live well?
We explore happiness, meaning, love and what the science really says about building a life that feels worth living.
Arthur Brooks is a professor at Vanderbilt University and senior fellow at Harvard Business School. He is the author of 16 books including three number one New York Times bestsellers. He has spent decades studying happiness not as a feeling but as a skill and teaching people how to practise it.
What we explore together:
Why happiness is not a destination and what the arrival fallacy is really costing youThe four idols your brain tells you will make you happy and why they never doWhat the neuroscience of love actually looks like and the two things that keep couples bondedHow the failure journal works and why writing down your disappointments makes you happierWhy meaning and happiness are not the same thing and which one actually lastsWhat it means to love and be loved and why Arthur believes that's the whole answerLove, Sarah Ann 💛

This week's Live Well Be Well Moment with Ruby Wax, comedian, author and mental health advocate.
We delve into what depression actually feels like from the inside, the machine guns, the intrusive thoughts, and how mindfulness taught Ruby to create distance from the thoughts that were trying to destroy her.

This week I'm joined by Ruby Wax, comedian, author and mental health advocate, and someone who has spent her life turning the most painful human experiences into something that makes us feel less alone.
We explore depression, mindfulness and what it really means to understand your own mind, not just survive it, but actually work with it.
Ruby Wax is an Emmy Award-winning writer and performer who studied neuroscience at Oxford University and went on to write the bestselling books Sane New World and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled. Ruby founded Frazzled Café, a peer support community for people who feel overwhelmed by modern life, and has performed sell-out shows across the world on mental health. She knows what depression looks like from the inside and she has the Oxford degree to explain why
What we explore together:
*Why depression isn't about sadness and what it actually feels like from the inside
*What mindfulness does to your brain, and why Ruby had to go to Oxford before she believed it
*Why your thoughts are not you and how to create distance from the ones trying to destroy you
*What happens when you stop fighting depression and let it pass instead
*Why self compassion isn't weak or gushy — it's biological necessity
*The moment Bill Cosby humiliated Ruby on camera, and what she would do differently now
*Why Ruby feels safest in a mental institution and what that tells us about belongingLove, Sarah Ann 💛

This week I'm joined by Cindy Gallop, entrepreneur, founder of Make Love Not Porn, former Chair of BBH USA, and someone who has spent her life questioning the rules we're told to live by.A quick warning before we start: Cindy has spent her entire life saying the things most people are too afraid to say out loud, and she does so with absolutely no filter. Which, as you'll hear, is exactly what makes her so brilliant.From challenging how we think about sex and relationships to redefining what confidence, success and fulfilment can look like, Cindy has spent decades refusing to live by anyone else's expectations. She was named Advertising Woman of the Year and has become one of the world's most outspoken voices on sex, relationships and modern culture.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to build a life that feels true to you, rather than one that simply looks right to everyone else.What we explore together:* Why so many of us live by beliefs and expectations we never consciously chose* Why confidence comes from knowing yourself, not seeking validation from others* Why Cindy believes we need more role models for living differently* Why the search for "the one" can stop us from asking better questions about love* How creating Make Love Not Porn became a mission to challenge shame and misinformation around sex* The question Cindy believes we should all ask before entering a relationship* What it actually means to trust yourself, especially when your choices don't fit society's expectationsLove, Sarah Ann 💛My book 'Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Shouldnt-Be-This-Hard-ebook/dp/B0G1DHNRV5This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health trackerConnecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today👉 15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/The Great British Veg Out How to support your gut, energy, and hormones by eating more — not less.👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/p/t…Reset Your HealthIf your body feels off after stress, travel, or burnout — this is where to start.👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/s/r...👉 Practical beats perfect.

https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTHHave you ever wondered why you keep thinking, feeling or behaving in ways you know aren't serving you even when you know better?
This week I'm joined by Nir Eyal, behavioural designer and bestselling author, and one of the most fascinating voices on how our beliefs shape everything from our habits and identity to our health and happiness.
Nir has a way of cutting through the noise of self-help and getting to the science and what he shares isn't about toxic positivity or vision boarding. It's about understanding the beliefs running your life, and actually changing them.
What we explore together:
Why your brain continues to lie to you even when you know the truthThe difference between facts, faith and beliefs and why it mattersWhy manifesting and positive visualisation can actually make you less likely to succeedWhat a 1950s rat experiment teaches us about the power of belief and human potentialWhy your ADHD, perfectionism or Myers-Briggs label might be holding you backHow the stories we tell ourselves create suffering — and how to change themThe science of luck — and why lucky people aren't just born that wayWhy your beliefs about ageing could impact your lifespan more than diet or exerciseHow to actually change a limiting belief — practically and permanentlyIf you've ever felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, this one is for you.
Love, Sarah Ann 💛

This week I'm joined by Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell, psychologist and grief specialist, and one of the most compassionate voices helping people understand loss in all its forms.
What we share isn't about moving on. It's about patients and people who've carried grief in silence for years and finally found a way through.
What we explore together:

Have you ever been told that the thing you need to get better doesn't exist on the NHS but quietly, it does?
This week I'm joined by Dr. Simon Erridge, medical doctor, UCL researcher, and one of the UK's leading voices in medical cannabis.
Simon has a way of cutting through the stigma and the noise and what he shares isn't about getting high. It's about patients who've tried everything, suffered for years, and finally found relief.
What we explore together:
What medical cannabis actually is and why it's nothing like what you probably picture when you hear the word cannabis
Why the UK is one of the highest opioid-prescribing countries in the world, and what that tells us about how we treat chronic pain
What's actually happening in the brain with PTSD and how medical cannabis can help decouple the trauma from the memory itself
The shocking contamination rates in illicit cannabis, and why the black market route puts people at real risk
Who shouldn't use medical cannabis, and the conditions where it's not appropriate
The full range of conditions being treated right now: from migraines, Crohn's disease and MS to anxiety, depression, OCD and cancer-related symptoms
If you or someone you love has been living with chronic pain, PTSD, endometriosis, or any condition that feels like it has no solution this one is for you.
Love, Sarah Ann 💛

Is one glass of red wine a day actually good for your gut? In this conversation, I dig into why the idea of “moderate drinking” being beneficial became popular, and how newer analyses suggest that earlier cardiovascular findings may have been influenced by confounding factors like diet, exercise, and affluence.
