I'm on a bit of a personal quest right now - exploring what it means to live life as an expression of joy rather than in the pursuit of happiness.
In this episode, I talk to the wonderful Tanya Hackney, author of "Leaving the Safe Harbor: The risks and rewards of raising a family on a boat".
This is one of the deepest, most thought provoking conversations I've had on the podcast as Tanya and I explore life, death, God, the universe and, of course, what it means to live life as an expression of joy.
Tanya's faith is a huge part of her ability to do this, and she shares that with us, along with many beautiful stories, experiences and lessons.
I hope you'll enjoy this conversation and take as much from it as I did.
Tanya's book is available from all good book shops and on Amazon as well.

Ep 97. The Unexpected Benefits of Pessimistic Thinking
Why haven't we evolved to be eternally optimistic if optimistic thinking is so much better?
The answer, like all things in nature, is that nothing is inherently good or bad, and the trick is to learn balance and have the ability to make best use of these different ways of thinking, depending on the requirements of the situation.
This week I explore the benefits of Pessimistic Thinking (and offer a recap of that means for those who missed the last two episodes).
If you have a natural tendency towards pessimistic thinking, this episode may help you harness the power that comes with it and build greater resilience for the moments when you need to take big leaps into the unknown in your efforts to achieve your biggest goals.
