The Happya Life
What if thriving wasn’t about having it all together but about learning to live fully, even in the messiness?
Welcome to The Happya Life Podcast, where we cut through the self-help fluff and get real about what it takes to heal, grow, and create a life that feels good from the inside out.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode exhausted by self-doubt, overwhelmed by life, or like you’re constantly putting everyone else first while barely holding yourself together this podcast is for you.
💡 What if happiness wasn’t something you had to earn but something you were always worthy of?
💡 What if you stopped waiting for the “right time” to feel good and started now?
💡 What if you finally had the tools to break free from the patterns that keep you stuck?
I’m Clare Deacon, positive psychology coach, therapist, and author of Blooming Happya. With expertise in coaching, therapy, and nervous system regulation, I take a trauma-informed, science-backed approach to self-worth, resilience, and personal growth.
This podcast is where coaching meets neuroscience meets real-life transformation because shifting your mindset is great, but if your nervous system still believes self-worth is unsafe, no amount of positive thinking will stick.
Expect deep insights, practical tools, and straight-talking wisdom to help you:
✔ Rewire self-doubt and release guilt.
✔ Heal from past experiences without getting stuck in them.
✔ Stop people-pleasing and start setting boundaries.
✔ Drop the pressure to be "perfect" and start living fully.
If you’re ready to ditch the self-help clichés and step into who you actually are, hit play. Because this? This is where your real transformation begins.

Why You Feel Guilty for Being Happy (And How to Let That Go)
Why You Feel Guilty for Being Happy (And How to Let That Go) | The Happya Life Podcast
Ever felt guilty for feeling happy? Maybe you’ve been through grief, heartbreak, or tough times, and when joy finally sneaks in you feel like you’re betraying what you’ve been through. Or maybe life is going well, but instead of embracing it, you find yourself second-guessing: Do I really deserve this? What if it all goes wrong? What about the people who aren’t as lucky?
This is called happiness guilt, and you are not alone.
In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, we’re unpacking:
✅ Why we feel guilty for being happy even when we’ve worked hard for it.
✅ The link between survivor’s guilt, past trauma, and our nervous system.
✅ How cultural conditioning and comparison fuel the fear of embracing joy.
✅ Steps to release happiness guilt so you can feel good without apology.
Happiness is not something you have to earn. It’s not selfish. It’s not a reward for suffering. It’s a fundamental part of being alive. And in this episode, I’ll guide you through how to break free from guilt, rewire your mindset, and own your joy without fear.
