139. Learning How to Be Happy, Not Perfe...

KELLY LEVEQUE
About this episode

If you scrolled through her Instagram page a few years ago, television host Poppy Jamie was living the dream – but on the inside, she was unraveling. After stress sent her to hospital, she re-examined her priorities, purpose, and thought processes. She decided to create an approachable and accessible platform to help people manage their wellbeing, and the Happy Not Perfect app was born. 

In this episode, Poppy shares her emotional backstory and rock bottom that forced her to reset her mind, body and soul. Plus: we discuss the tools you can use to diffuse triggering moments, untangle negative thought bias, and get back to the happy, not perfect state you were born to be. 

You will learn about...

  • The rock bottom that forced her to reevaluate her life 
  • The true cost of our coping strategies
  • The Four ‘C’s: Connection, Curiosity, Choice, and Commitment
  • The flexible mindset in practice 
  • Manifestation to create your future 
  • The tools that keep her in touch with her emotions 
  • Life beyond the highlight reel
