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.

How to Stop People-Pleasing Without Feeling Guilty
In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, I’m speaking directly to the givers, the ones who say yes, who show up, who keep the peace even when it costs them their own wellbeing.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for putting yourself first, this one’s for you.
We’re diving deep into the roots of people-pleasing, not as a flaw, but as a survival pattern. We’ll explore how over-giving often starts in childhood, how guilt is not a sign you’re selfish but a signal you’re doing something new, and how to begin setting boundaries without betraying your kindness.
This isn’t about swinging from selfless to selfish. It’s about learning to choose you without losing what makes you caring and connected.
You’ll hear:
- Why people-pleasing becomes identity
- How to pause before a yes and sit with discomfort
- Small steps to reclaim your voice and values
- Why boundaries are an act of self-respect, not rejection
If you’re tired of disappearing in your own life, and ready to stop editing yourself to keep everyone else comfortable, this episode is your gentle call home.
