In this episode, we're talking to Santi Sanchez, happiness coach and creator behind Promise of Philosophy. We explore the overlap between philosophy and life-design, and how a practical integration of the two can help you make more intentional choices to align with a fulfilling, enjoyable, and meaningful life.
Santi shares several exercises that you can start using to get a better understanding of your own values and how those map on to the things you spend your time doing, allowing you to adjust where necessary and better understand your life. You can find the articles we discuss in the episode over on his blog at these links:

The GOod-Life Journal https://www.promiseofphilosophy.com/life-design-good-life-journaling

It wasn't until after the conversation we realised we'd wrapped things up before Santi had a chance to answer part 2 of the "What is happiness coaching?" question: "Who is it for?"
Santi was kind enough to share this answer which I'll leave here for anyone who wants to know more about whether they might benefit from working with Santi:
"happiness coaching is for people who have achieved some level of professional success but are feeling unfulfilled, like they want more out of life. It's for anyone who has looked in the mirror at the end of the day and wondered, "Really? is there all there is to life? I thought there'd be more." Because there is more. And I love helping people find it! It's for people who want to take control of their quality of life and are willing to change their mindsets and way of engaging with the world around them so as to find their own way of living a truly good and happy life."

In today's episode, we talk about mindfulness with content creator Kim. We explore what mindfulness is and how it can be used to help you align with a life that is more intentional, joyful, and purposeful.
In this episode you'll learn various techniques and practices to bring mindfulness into your life to deal with stress, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, as well as how you can incorporate a mindful perspective in life more generally.
We explore the differences between mindfulness practice and mindful living, and how you can implement mindfulness as part of your life-design process. Kim shares some tips for getting started with a mindfulness practice even with little or no experience as well as some examples of exercises you can start with today.
We look at what it means to find balance in life and navigate the extremes that tend to crop up, whether in our personal lives or the world around us, and how to find your own personal balance between things like rest and productivity, or self-acceptance and self-improvement.

In today's episode I ramble about a few of my key principles of life design: accepting what you can and can't control, connecting your day-to-day with your higher vision, and understanding how your mindset and environment interact (among other things, I forget what exactly).
I'm writing an ebook at the moment that goes deeper in to all of these ideas so this is my way of sharing my thoughts with you while I work on it, as well as developing the ideas themselves as I chat them out.
If you want early access to content from the ebook sign up to my mailing list here.
You'll also receive a link to a questionnaire I'm creating as part of my market research, and I'm giving 3 months of free coaching to one person who completes the survey as a thank you.
Enjoy!

If you're listening to this that means I decided to hit publish and have officially started my podcast!
This was an unscripted and lengthy ramble about the areas I want to explore on the podcast, my intentions behind starting it and the sorts of areas I hope to explore either with guests or through future solo-uploads like this.
I also veer briefly in to other areas such as the temptations of a perfectly curated online self, my broad definition of life-design, and exploring online business. I hope you enjoy listening or that it at least gives you an idea of what you might enjoy from the podcast in the future, and of course any thoughts and feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated.
You can find out more about me and what I do on my website or by following me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
