In this special mid-season episode of But Are You Happy, Clare Stephens talks to Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa.

Alexis describes her work as combining neuroscience, psychology and tough love - and that’s exactly what she does with her books and in her podcast, Do You F*cking Mind.

Alexis and Clare discuss the science of happiness and so much more - including how to make meaningful friendships as adults, how to end a toxic relationship and open yourself to a healthy one, how to move through heartbreak and identify the narcissists in our lives - and so much more.

This episode of 'No Filter,' hosted by Mia Freedman will help you have better relationships - and understand the bad ones you’ve had in the past - or might still be having.

Because the origin of every relationship we have is our attachment style, and knowing what yours is and how that affects how you interact with people and the romantic partners you choose can be a game-changer.

Mia talks to clinical psychologist and attachment theory expert, Dr. Morgan Anderson, about all things attachment styles and so much more, like: what exactly is the “ick”, what is breadcrumbing, and why we tend to be attracted to people who may not be so good for us.

You can hear part two of Mia's conversation here.

Australian actress Tammin Sursok has plenty of experiences to share, and she’s grateful for each one, no matter how challenging.

At first glance, you might not see the struggles she’s faced, but beneath the surface, she has battled feelings of shame and moments that shattered her self-esteem. She’s lived through serious health challenges, and now she’s navigating who she is today, with her family at the forefront.

We've all faced those biting comments about our looks or how we act, and we often let those words affect us, even though they shouldn’t.

Lucinda Price, AKA Froomes, grew up convinced that to fit in with the 'right' crowd, she had to be hot. Back then, certain traits were seen as the ultimate beauty standard, leading her to believe she had to change parts of herself to be accepted.

In this episode, Froomes—who’s an author, comedian, broadcaster, and internet personality—sits down with Clare to chat about the unrealistic beauty standards we’ve all faced and how they’ve affected her and so many other women. This episode isn’t just about happiness, it’s also about self-acceptance and navigating the challenges that come with it.

So, after working to overcome so much and be comfortable in her own skin, is Froomes happy? Let’s find out.
