I particularly appreciated the way in which Fearne speaks about looking after our bodies, as something that should be well cared for and even admired for all it is able to do. She also advocates for embracing all emotions and instead of brushing the negative ones aside and she covers accepting mistakes and life lessons and moving on from regret. Calm for me is less about thought and much more about feeling. It is a stillness that allows my lungs to expand like hot air balloons. It is an acceptance of the noise around me. It is a magic alchemy that might last a second or a whole day, where I feel relaxed yet aware; still yet dynamic; open yet protected . . . ‘

Read by Fearne Cotton. This audiobook includes a PDF that features Fearne’s illustrations and exercises. You can have the perfect setting for a photo, but without the right lighting the picture might not translate on screen. We’ve all been there where flash has overexposed and ruined a beautiful shot of your mates on a night out or the family stood in front of a sunset . Instead, opt for natural lighting, even in the evenings– with Samsung’s Galaxy A54 5G device, low-light settings show up brighter without the need for flash, thanks to light boost technology.

And social scenarios are also a cause for concern. In fact, when out and about with peers, over a quarter (27%) of UK adults avoid being captured altogether, for fear of a bad photo. At times while working, she says, she ‘just sort of put this suit of armour on and did it’, but having established her podcast, she has slowly learnt acceptance and discovered how to cope with her mental health battle – something she is still doing. ‘On Monday I drove on the motorway for the first time in four years and I was so chuffed with myself,’ she told White. Further to this, UK adults have also said flash makes them feel anxious (22%) and highlights their blemishes (24%). Parts that particularly spoke to me included redefining what success means for you, as opposed to just bobbing along with whatever society tells us we ‘should’ be doing, as well as speaking about the drama and tension within families and how to not let these moments or people control your happiness or affect your stress levels. I also liked the ‘Calm Environment’ chapter, which was an interesting read covering how to make your home emit a more peaceful vibe and encourage good sleep and good feelings. I’m a big fan of decluttering my house and spaces often and it really does help my mood.Following her own share of ‘flash ‘fails’ Fearne Cotton, Samsung Ambassador, Broadcaster, Author and Founder of Happy Place, said: “I’m no stranger to an unflattering photo and know how annoying it can be when bad lighting ruins a photo. Whether I’m trying to capture a picture of my best mates at dinner or a sweet photo of my kids, a lovely moment can be bleached out if you get too flashy. To convince the UK to go ‘flash off’ and perfect their picture snapping with every shot, Samsung is working with Fearne Cotton, to shine a light on the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G and its awesome Light Boosting capabilities. I really appreciated this book and know that many other thyroid patients will too. Learning to manage our stress levels can be such a big part of living well with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.
