30 Days To Happiness Podcast

Why You Don’t Need Control (or Permission) to Be Free With Bronte from 'Journey of an Honest Mum'

Holly Smith Season 3 Episode 103

In this heartfelt episode of The 30 Days to Happiness Podcast, I sit down with Bronte from Journey of an Honest Mum to talk about the raw reality of life, motherhood, and finding peace when everything feels chaotic.

We explore how happiness is not the ultimate goal — instead, it’s about cultivating daily peace, joy, and gratitude in the middle of instability.

Bronte shares her journey of separation, raising four young children (including twins), and navigating life without needing control, certainty, or anyone else’s permission to live authentically.

Together, we dive into:
✨ How to find peace and stability when life feels overwhelming
✨ Why joy and gratitude are more sustainable than chasing “happiness”
✨ How belief systems shape the way we see ourselves and our choices
✨ Letting go of control and embracing freedom in the unknown
✨ Why you don’t need anyone else’s permission to do what you want with your life

This episode is honest, relatable, and a reminder that even in the most unstable seasons, peace and joy are still available.
