Feeling stuck in a loop of anger, grief or overwhelm? You're not alone. But you don't have to stay there.In this episode, Luan explores how internal programming and mindset shape the way we respond to life’s hardest moments - grief, diagnosis, overwhelm - with Toni Powell.Toni is an author, happiness speaker and self-confessed former misery expert who went from living in a shed, broke and heartbroken, to becoming a joyful, purpose-led speaker helping people rewire their thinking and reframe their struggles.We talk about how self-advocacy can start with the stories you tell yourself - especially when life feels unfair, uncertain or just plain awful. This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending things are fine. It’s about pausing, processing and gently shifting what you focus on so you can feel more in control, more connected and more okay.Toni’s story is packed with practical wisdom, heartfelt honesty and a whole lot of humour. From reprogramming your 'sh*t algorithm', to discovering the power of gratitude and connection, this is a conversation about what happens after everything goes to crap - and how you might start again, one thought at a time.Content note: This episode includes a brief mention of suicidal thoughts and a few choice words. Nothing graphic, just honest, human conversation. Pop in your headphones if you’re listening with little ears around, or hit pause if you don't feel in the right frame of mind to listen.Get 50% off Toni's course 'Happy Healthy You' with the discount code 'regardingme'!For the links to all the resources mentioned in this show, go to the episode blog page.Connect with Luan:Follow Luan on InstagramGet Luan's free SSASy guide to Self-AdvocacySign up for Luan's NewsletterCheck out Luan's websiteDisclaimerCREDITS:Host & Producer: Luan Lawrenson-Woods, Self-Health AdvocateSound engineering: Paddy from Goosewing Sounds Ltd (UK) Hosted on Acast.
