Tap to send me your reflections ♡
This week, we join up with the lovely Gemma Sandwell to see how mindfulness with kindfulness helps us access and grow our resilience.
I first met Gemma a few years ago, not in person but over the speaker in a large auditorium in the centre of the city in London - she was leading a Resilience Shot for a group of financial services leaders - a short mindfulness exercise, introducing the art of focussing on the present moment, to help build resilience.
So, who could be better placed to talk to us today about how mindfulness helps us build resilience?!
The next time I met Gemma, we were both coaching leadership teams and happened to have been put into joining rooms - that conversation is what led to me realising how lovely she is & I’m so delighted to welcome her onto the podcast.
Gemma is a Mindfulness Teacher, Positive Psychology Practitioner, ICF accredited coach and TEDx speaker. She's been on a journey of personal self-discovery through these tools and they lead her to setting up the Happiness Branch, helping people to flourish.
Gemma uses the practice of mindfulness combined with Positive Psychology. She sees them as core tools to help you be at your best and perform at your best, building on what works for you already, in a non-judgemental way, decreasing stress and anxiety.
In this session, you'll hear more of the work Gemma does and why it's so beneficial - and you'll be led through a beautiful mindful meditation, which almost relaxed me so much that I couldn't complete the recording!
At the end of the session I share a wonderful piece of film I first came across a few years ago, when on retreat with Soulshine. A recording of Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues, talking about the importance of Loving Your Tree. When you hear Gemma's session, you'll understand why it resonated. I've included a link to it below - I think you'll enjoy it!
I hope you enjoy this recording - you can watch or listen to it as a podcast, links below. To find out more about Gemma, take a look at The Happiness Branch.

A space to settle in and listen, and see where the episode takes you. This inspiring, reflective podcast is an invitation to travel deeper, with compassionate self-enquiry.
Henny shares insights from her own life, alongside practices that help us connect with our inner wisdom, explore our relationship with change and find a greater sense of flow. Henny believes we all hold our own answers, so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions here. This is a space to be with what’s true for you, and to grow from there.
If you’re drawn to slowing down, listening in, and exploring what it means to live with greater authenticity, this podcast is for you. Guided by psychology, mindfulness, therapeutic coaching, flow journaling, and everyday compassion, we explore ideas that help us step further into our inner worlds, in order to shape the changes we seek in our outer worlds.
