How to be the manager of your own life with Rhian Hopkins

Trigger Warning: mentions of miscarriage, pregnancy loss, cancer, bullying and suicide are all themes in the episode and advise listeners to reflect before listening.

How Rhian’s positive outlook and gratitude for the small things got her through her divorce, 6 miscarriages, living in extreme poverty, a late-stage cancer diagnosis, and an autism diagnosis at 50.

Many of us attribute happiness to “that job”, “that car”, “that house” or “that handbag”. Rhian teaches us in this episode that gratitude is the key to beating adversity and appreciating what you do have is the beginning to having a happy life.

Rhian Hopkins’s tenacity and ability to look for the good has seen her overcome more than her fair share of life’s challenges—six miscarriages, a late-stage cancer diagnosis, and discovering she is autistic at 50 and still come out as a beaming, bright and beautiful woman. Rhian glistens with a zest for life; talking to her, you wouldn’t know she’s had it tough.

In this powerful conversation, Rhian shares how she’s transformed adversity into advocacy, creating compassionate spaces for others and learning to live in alignment with her true self. Find out in this episode what it is that has kept her going: finding happiness lives in the everyday moments: waking up, feeding yourself and your family, and finding love, kindness and gratitude.

If you’re ready to be happy today, not tomorrow or next year and be given the skills to grow through tough times, give this episode a listen 🎧
