Am I too old to run?! Fearne on why move...

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

There’s probably a bit too much pressure on reaching a definitive state of happiness isn’t there? It’s not realistic guys. So Fearne’s dropping into your feed every week for some honest chat about what’s making her (and you lot) feel great, and what’s making us all feel completely rubbish.


This is a cosy little corner for all of us to explore what’s been on our minds, what’s been getting us down, inspiring us, and making us laugh. Want to join the chat? Send us a voicenote, DM, or comment on Instagram @happyplaceofficial!


In this chat, Fearne explores:


-Running – both the joy of it, and the sadness when you can’t because you’re injured


-In a similar vein: why skipping is so fun... but also makes you pee yourself


-The little interactions with strangers that make your day


-‘Friends’ chatting behind your back


-Whether we’ve started hibernating for winter a little too early
