Ep 70 Holly Matthews | The Happy Me Proj...

The Self Development Coach
About this episode

In this episode, I’ll chat with Holly Matthews, a former TV actress, Ted X speaker, Life Coach, and founder of The Happy Me Project.


Holly has established a solid social media following of over 40,000 followers across her platforms and over 3 million views on her award-winning YouTube Channel.


She is the author of the No.1 best-selling book The Happy Me Project. In 2017, Holly’s husband Ross died of brain cancer, and she vlogged about her experience.


The lead-up to his death and its aftermath were extensively featured in the UK media, including print, radio, and television, opening a brand new audience to Holly.


Holly launched her flagship brand, The Happy Me Project, in 2017, just months after her husband's death. She has watched hundreds go through its virtual doors, and many more attend the in-person workshops of the same name.


Holly is a Mum to two daughters, Brooke (nine) and Texas (seven), who worked with her on The Happy Me Project KIDS online visualisations course and in-person workshop.


On this podcast, I aim to speak to people who have specialised in personal development or have experienced something life-changing and have managed to extract some form of learning or understanding.


Today, we get both.


Highlights:

👉 Resilence

👉 Self-confidence

👉 Grief

👉 Authenticity
