Crisis Talks: Positivity Tennis, Micro Wins & Why the Sun Changes Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Can two self-confessed midlife moaners record an episode without complaining? This week on Crisis Talks, we attempt exactly that.
Welcome to our unofficial challenge: Positivity Tennis - a back-and-forth of small wins, everyday gratitude and those tiny moments that genuinely lift your mood.
From walking to work in actual daylight (game changer), to empty washing baskets, teenage Valentine’s joy, and friends who lift you up when hormones are doing the absolute most - we explore how micro wins can shift your whole mindset.
We chat about:
- Why lighter mornings improve mental health
- Micro-stresses vs micro-wins (and how they affect cortisol)
- Gratitude journalling and “deep & meaningful conversations with yourself”
- TV recommendations including Small Prophets (BBC) and Shrinking (Apple TV+)
- Midlife hormones, sleep struggles & mini mindset resets
- The joy of crocuses, grape hyacinths and getting your gym kit ready the night before
It turns out happiness isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about sunlight on your face, an organised school bag, a thoughtful teenage boyfriend, and friends who still invite you out after you’ve left the job.
If you’re navigating midlife, juggling work, kids, perimenopause and the mental load — this episode is your reminder that small wins matter.
