In April last year, The Guardian exposed allegations of rape, sexual assault and harassment at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). Rain Newton-Smith took over as Chief Executive and pledged to reform the culture of the organisation. As she approaches a year in the job, Rain speaks to Nuala McGovern about what progress has been made. She also gives her reaction to the news that the UK fell into recession in December 2023.It's been nearly a year since we announced the Woman's Hour Power List, celebrating incredible women in the world of sport. Today we are joined by one of those who placed on the list ahead of her attempt to break a record at this summer's Paris Paralympics. The two-time Paralympic Gold, World and European champion British rower Lauren Rowles is training hard for what she hopes will be her third Paralympic Gold and joins Nuala to discuss her glittering career and her work away from sport advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those struggling with their mental health.  Lorna Tucker ran away from home at the age of 14 and ended up living on the streets of Soho in London. Now a filmmaker, her latest release, Someone's Daughter, Someone's Son, has forced her to revisit life on the streets, both from her own perspective and those currently sleeping rough. Writer Helen Russell moved to Denmark a decade ago and wrote a bestselling book, The Year of Living Danishly. Several books and three children later, she has now turned her attention to the parenting culture of Denmark and other Nordic nations. Her new book is How to Raise a Viking: The Secrets of Parenting the World's Happiest Children. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Lucy Wai

The pursuit of happiness, which is a beautiful thing, can turn into an extreme when we become afraid to be sad and try to avoid it at all costs. Why are we so scared to be sad? And why is it not only ok to be sad, but important to sit with the sadness? Today's guest, Helen Russell, is a journalist, bestselling author, speaker and happiness researcher.  Her first book, https://www.amazon.com/Year-Living-Danishly-Uncovering-Happiest/dp/1785780239/ (The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country), became an international bestseller and has been optioned for television. She is the author of four other critically acclaimed books, translated into 21 languages. Helen also writes for magazines and newspapers globally, including The Times and The Sunday Times, the Telegraph, the Independent, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, and the Observer, amongst others. She's spent the last ten years studying cultural approaches to emotions and now speaks about her work internationally. In her book, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RZ5R7XT/ (How to be Sad), Helen explores why we get sad, what to do when we are sad and how we can all get happier, by learning to be sad, better. Especially while living in these unprecedented times. Most of us are struggling in one way or another and getting better at having difficult conversations and finding ways to handle our sadness will help us become whole, reclaim our wellbeing and be able to truly and fully live. In this interview with Helen, you'll discover: -Why we're so afraid of being sad...03:30 -The social stigma of acknowledging sadness leads to social disconnection...08:02 -Tools and strategies to "move through" our sadness...12:15 -What we can learn from the Danish people about being happy...15:10 -Using unhappiness as a tool to discovering real happiness...18:30 -The time and place for medications to deal with sadness, anxiety, depression, etc...20:30 -Helen's personal journey with happiness and sadness...23:14 -Empathizing with friends and family who are processing sadness...26:43 -How to remain hopeful in challenging times...28:46 -Helen's best personal practice...33:43 -And much more...

A book about a British couple adapting to life in Denmark as they try to see if it really is the happiest country in the world.

I am absolutely thrilled to have someone I greatly look up to on the show today. Today's guest is Helen Russell, a British journalist, happiness researcher and international bestselling author of The Year of Living Danishly, Leap Year, Gone Viking and The Atlas of Happiness. Helen was formerly the editor of Marie Claire online and has been a long term writer for The Telegraph, Stylist, Metro, The Independent and many others. Today we are going to be speaking about her new book and I implore every single person to read this. It's called How to be Sad. I saw this title a few months ago and I thought this couldn't be a more relevant book for my show. Embracing our full emotional spectrum is not easy but thankfully Helen is here to share her wisdom about getting happier by being sad. With so much going on in the world right now, it's important we don't suppress our emotions. We are all allowed emotions and I hope this conversation helps you learn how to embrace them. How to be Sad is out in paperback in January 2022 and you can pre-order it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Sad-Everything-learned-getting/dp/0008384592/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Find Helen: Instagram: @mshelenrussellWebsite: https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/how-to-be-sad-with-helen-russell/id1550928939 Books: https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/books/---The code for the free product is NOTPERFECTFREE.

Winter 2021 is coming: the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and the presence of a new COVID-19 variant is looming. Tldr; it's getting harder to feel better. While the pandemic has made it increasingly more difficult to sweep our negative emotions under the rug, it has also exposed the reality that no one is immune to feeling sadness or experiencing setbacks. As we continue to navigate the good days and bad days in our own lives, how can we widen the definition of “happiness” to make it more attainable? How can we simultaneously steer clear of toxic positivity and find authentic ways to infuse more joy into our lives?HOST: Taylor Camille, Sr. Producer at Well+GoodGUESTS:Helen Russell, Speaker, Journalist and Bestselling Author of ‘The Year of Living Danishly' and ‘How To Be Sad'Dr. Deepika Chopra, “The Optimism Doctor,” Happiness Researcher, Visual Imagery ExpertWHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:Helen explains how letting ourselves feel sad could ultimately make us happier.

In this special collaborative episode, I chat with Jeremy Bassetti of the Travel Writing World Podcast. We talk about our most memorable and influential travel reads, what's important about travel literature and why we enjoy it. (So many reasons!) We also compare our podcast experiences, including talking about writers we've enjoyed talking to (spoiler: we only say nice things!). And of course, readers like us are very often also writers, so we chat about the future of the travel genre and our own experiences of writing books, and some of our hopes for the future of the industry.

But Helen Russell, author of How to Be Sad: Everything I've Learned About Getting Happier by Being Sad, sees value in sadness.

Hi there, I'm Judy Croon - Canada's Keynote Humourist. Welcome to 'Laugh Long and Prosper' Shelf Help with a Smile. Stress Busters with a Smirk. Today is Monday which means it's time for Just Another Mindful Monday. I recently read two books; 'The Year of Living Danishly' and 'The little book of Hygge.' According to a UN study every year, Denmark is regularly listed as one of the happiest places in the world ( Canada is usually in the top ten, as well) but what makes Denmark unique is something that they embrace called 'Hygge'. I thought with Covid and all the other stresses that have been going on as a result of it, what better time to talk to someone from Denmark about this incredible super power that we might be able to draw from? Please welcome my Danish friend -Heidi Petersen.

This week on Cultivating the Lovely the Podcast, MacKenzie Koppa has her dear friend Chelle Bruzas back again to chat about all things Christmas. They share some of their favorite simple ways to celebrate the holiday even when there isn’t the time and energy to do All. The. Things. This is a fun, encouraging conversations, so grab your favorite hot beverage, prop up your feet, and enjoy! (Affiliate links are used in this content.) Being intentional about being present instead of making a huge list and setting expectations too high Why MacKenzie is so thankful that she felt prompted to decorate and start celebrating early MacKenzie talks about the unique Crescent window displays in downtown Spokane Keeping a select few traditions that you always do with your family MacKenzie’s family recipe for Popcorn Balls: 2 Cups Sugar 2/3 cup white corn syrup 2/3 cup water 1/2 cup butter 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla 1 cup uncooked plain popcorn (3 quarts popped) food coloring, if so desired Pop plain popcorn in a brown paper bag in the microwave 1/4 cup at a time. Pour popped popcorn into a bowl to separate out any unpopped kernels, then transfer to a large bowl or roasting pan. Keep popcorn warm in slow oven at 300 degrees. Stir and cook corn syrup, water, butter, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Cook until 270 on candy thermometer for a hard candy shell, or 260ish for a chewier ball (what we prefer). Add vanilla and food coloring after removing from heat. Pour candy over popcorn while stirring with a large spoon as you go to coat the popcorn evenly. You can place the roasting pan over low heat to unstick any syrup that might stick to the bottom and fully incorporate into popcorn. Coat hands in butter to form into balls, or leave loose for easier eating. You can also coat candy molds with butter and make suckers out of the syrup. Chelle’s family’s favorite homemade Christmas candy- Almond Roca: Ingredients: 1 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup chopped almonds or pecans 1 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp salt Instructions Line a 9 x 13 cookie sheet or glass pan with parchment paper and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of finely chopped nuts. Mix the butter and sugar, vanilla and salt in a sauce pan and cook over medium/high heat for around 5-13 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constanly until the candy thermometer reads “Cracked Stage” or 300 degrees F on candy thermometer or when it's dark and caramel colored and starting to smoke. This is known as the hard crack stage (about 13 minutes in). I don’t actually own a candy thermometer so I test the candy for doneness, by dropping a small amount of candy into cup of very cold water, when it’s ready it should separate into hard brittle threads.  This step will take your full attention and is the trickiest and most crucial part of the recipe. Pour the caramel mixture into the cookie sheet with spatula. Let it cool a just a bit and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top, it will melt and you can spread it until smooth with a spatula. Top with finely chopped almonds or pecans ( our personal favorite ). Let cool completely and once the chocolate has hardened on the top, ( Some times I put the pan in the fridge or freezer to speed up this part ) use a knife to cut into small pieces. Share with your family, friends, teachers, neighbors, mailman and well pretty much anyone else not already mentioned, liberally.

This week, you can enjoy a whirlwind trip of happiness around the globe! When journalist Helen Russell moved to Denmark in 2012, she wanted to learn more about why the country ranked so high on the happiness scale. That search led her to write the book, The Year of Living Danishly, and opened the door to studying happiness. With her second book, The Atlas of Happiness: The Global Secrets of How to Be Happy, she looks at happiness practices around the world and makes some interesting discoveries about how we’re different from other countries in our pursuit of happiness—and how we’re the same. She’s here to talk about how happiness differs from one country to the next, what we can learn from other countries and in what ways we’re all the same in our pursuit of happiness.  In this episode, you'll learn: Why happiness practices are so different from one country to the next. Why different perceptions of happiness affect the way we practice well-being. How learning about happiness practices from other countries can improve our lives.

It's a special episode again - every ten episodes I do something different for The Thoughtful Travel Podcast - and listener Justin suggested I record my thoughts about my trip to Denmark with my son and how this trip would challenge us to be thoughtful travellers. I liked this suggestion a lot so this is a solo episode with my pre-trip thoughts about visiting Denmark with my son; what made me decide to go, what I hope to find, and all of the thoughts I've had ahead of the trip. As always I've done some reading and research (also as always, not as much as I'd like, because life always gets in the way), and I'm curious to find out if the Denmark I expect is the Denmark I find. When this episode goes live I'll be mid-way through two weeks exploring both Copenhagen and rural Denmark so I'll have to have a follow-up later on what I actually discovered!

Episode 12 comes to you this week. And we’re here to talk TBR. The specifics of what drives us to choose the next book off the stack! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a group of online readers that saves the day and all about audiobook “stories.” Next, we tackle what we are currently reading: some Capital W-Weird picks, some non-fiction, some YA. We’ve got a little taste of everything. We take a mini-deep dive this week into the topic of TBR lists. How do readers in general choose what is To Be Read next? How do we, specifically, choose what to slot into that coveted position? As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week we have a perfect Christmas gift idea (and some wonderful accompaniments) as well as a beloved curmudgeon book for almost every reader on your list.

Welcoming wonder woman, Sam Vander Wielen, attorney turned entrepreneur to the MNBP! Sam practiced as a corporate attorney for five years before she started her career as an entrepreneur. Prior to finding her groove working with women online entrepreuners to ensure their businesses and websites are up to legal par Sam worked at a health coach and in corporate wellness. To say she is a go-getter is an understatement, Sam is a DO-er in all senses of the word. Learning more about Sam's journey and how it has beautifully blossomed into where she is today makes me feel excited and totally in awe of the work she has done in carving out her niche business. Sam shares with us the importance of finding what makes you tick and being open and curious as well as playful as your business starts to take shape and develop. In addition to running her own business, Sam loves to travel and experience hygge moments. Living in Denmark I am very familiar with hygge and its presence in my daily life. I hope you will enjoy Sam's words, our conversation, and if you are curious about working with Sam, do not hesitate in reaching out to her. She is extremely knowledgable and kind.
