She presents All in the Mind on BBC Radio 4 and is the author of several books, including Overwhelmed: Ways to Take the Pressure Off.\nIn this conversation, we explore how our homes shape how we feel, why some people hold on to objects as a connection to their past, and why the promise of a better material life doesn't always deliver the happiness we expect.\nWe also discuss the role of rest and solitude, how our routines shape the way we experience time, and the challenges of finding space to unwind – especially when work and home life overlap. \nClaudia considers how our culture of perfectionism contributes to the pressures of modern life, and why embracing the belief of ‘good enough’ might actually give us some room to rest.\nTo hear more from Claudia:\n\nWebsite: www.claudiahammond.com\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/claudia_hammond_/?hl=en\nClaudia Hammond's latest book, Overwhelmed: Ways to Take the Pressure Off, is available here: https://canongate.co.uk/books/5261-overwhelmed-ways-to-take-the-pressure-off/\nTo hear more from us:\n\nPatreon: Watch exclusive home tours, https://www.patreon.com/HomingWithMatt\nYouTube: Subscribe to our channel, Homing with Matt\nInstagram: Follow for updates and announcements, @homingwithmatt\nEmail us at hello@mattgibberd.com\nMatt Gibberd’s book, A Modern Way to Live, is available here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/320176/a-modern-way-to-live-by-gibberd-matt/9780241480496\nMusic by @simeonwalkermusic\nIdentity & design by @lena.winkler.creative.office\nProduced by @podshoponline","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jfhTOve5zkBU-4TRtFPERWb8yNLRKVKLKahjrWvoDdk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNWNk/YTE1NTI1ZWQ0NjI1/MTBhNDlkOWY1ZTU1/OGM1YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
