In this chat with Fearne, David explains that while not every day is good, there’s something good in every day if you choose to look for it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They also chat about how to stop falling back into negative thought patterns, and why the journal prompts in Frequently Happy could be helpful if you’re not sure where to start with acknowledging and getting clarity on how you feel.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, there’s advice on how to move past your fear of criticism so you can share your creativity with the world, because ultimately you’ll never be able to please everyone anyway!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/298eb6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Dame Harriet Walter</a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/28c79c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Liane Moriarty</a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/27b9a0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Miranda July&nbsp;</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/26738b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Book Club Meets: Gillian Anderson</a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Child on the line is a three-part documentary podcast series celebrating the Volunteer Counsellors of Childline, and the brave children &amp; young people who contact the helpline service.</p><p>Listen here: <a href="https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
