Let’s get positive

Posted on by

June‘s got hers at the ready – this Sunday‘s guest definitely never leaves home without hers…

So you’d better make sure you put on your own positive pants when you join them for Girls Around Town this week!

Live in the studio for the first time since early 2020, Put On Your Positive Pants‘ Claire Clements will be looking back at some recent highlights as well as looking forward to what’s on the cards for the coming months.

She’ll have the latest news of her best-selling book, published at the end of July, as well as details of some of the events she’s been running recently.

And if you’ve got kids, you’ll certainly want to hear the tips and activities she’ll be sharing to help boost their wellbeing through the coming winter months.

Rounding off Claire’s latest on-air chat, the focus switches from positve pants to crafty pants, her exciting new collaboration with The Inky Nook which brings mindfulness and wellbeing crafts to your doorstep.

Designed to help children express and control their feelings as they lose themselves in their ideas, thoughts and play, the Crafty Pants box is aimed at kids from six to 10 and is perfect for them to enjoy on their own, with a friend or with a sibling.

Find out more on 107.8FM, on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11.10am this weekend…

And don’t forget to join June from 10am for all the usual news, views and great music here on Your Sunday Best!

How to find your happy

Posted on by

Cast your mind back a couple of years and you may remember one Girls Around Town that was even more of a giggle than usual, when this weekend’s guest made her first appearance on the show in May 2019.

Quite literally too, as June captured her on video, showing Rachel one simple way to find her happy!

Teresa Sanderson will be spreading a little more joy this Sunday when she rings the studio just after 11.20am…

No videos this time round of course but Tess will have plenty of advice about different ways to improve your resilience and wellbeing through laughter yoga, meditation, mindfulness and more.

Hugs are high on the list – something you’ve probably been missing lately but Tess has the answer here too. Just give yourself a 20-second hug every day – sugar-free, fat-free and no batteries required, a quick self-hug is all you need to make you feel good!

Tune in to 107.8FM or listen online to catch up with Tess and June in the second hour of the show, when they’ll be inviting you to step into The Laughter Locker for a while…

And in the meantime, if you want a bit of a giggle here’s that little video from back in May 2019 – enjoy!!

Food for thought

Posted on by

How many times have you heard or read the words ‘you are what eat‘?

Believe it or not, that saying goes all the way back to 1826 when Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a French lawyer, politician and writer who gained fame as a gastronome, wrote “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are”…

But what about how, when, where and why you eat what you do?

One woman who knows all about the importance of mindset when it comes to nutrition is Alison Harris, who’ll be joining June in the studio this weekend to tell her own story and describe some of the ways in which she empowers people to be at their best by helping them reconnect with nourishing.

“Of course we look at healthy eating and I encourage clients to eat cleanly, with more vegetables, less processed food and, where possible, to choose local and seasonal produce” she says.

“But it’s my belief that without looking at why we eat what we do, we’ll just go back to old habits. And it’s this mindfulness that is at the core of the work I do.”

Alison will be talking about how she brings her skills and experience of NLP, coaching and nutrition into the workshops, talks and one-to-one training she offers.

And she’ll also be busting one or two myths about eating healthily being too expensive or time-consuming…

Tune into 107.8FM or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to enjoy a little food for thought on Girls Around Town this Sunday!
