Episode 27 - Senses In and Behind the Scene with Nicola Docherty

This week Tess & Sarah are chatting with Actor, Writer and Filmmaker, Nicola (Nic) Docherty. Nic dives into how she uses her senses in her career, as an actor and director, but also for supporting her mental health, especially during stressful moments on and off the set. She also discusses how important mental health support is behind the scenes on set.

The Happy Edit Tool for this week: Notice what is arising emotionally, physically and mentally with mindfulness. Observe what comes up with compassion, confront and allow it, and let it go.

Happiness isn't just being happy, it's an embodied feeling that starts with how we approach life, our actions and our mindset. Everyone has a range of emotions and that’s a good thing. Join The Happy Edit Sisters as they dive into what it means to be happy and how we can build a foundation for happiness through different lenses.
