It's been a few weeks since I released an episode of the Happiness Anonymous Podcast, and I have a legitimate reason(s). In this episode I spill the beans on why I've been away, why I let that happen (outside of the obvious) and all other secrets I've been holding (and can remember...). What a click bait-y description, but it's the truth!

Sometimes it’s not our emotions that are overwhelming and making it hard to have a clear mind, sometimes it’s the sheer amount of actual things we have to get done. In this episode, Jem share her tips on how to keep on top of the things that are real and are needing to get done (as she’s moving house, job, and car...!)
