Gabby Bernstein joins Gaby for a chat about all things joy!

She explains the therapy system (Internal Family Systems Therapy) that helped her heal the trauma from her childhood, which had led to addiction in her adult life.

They discuss why we shouldn't be afraid of the term "self help" - and why more people should be looking to heal.

Gabby believes her purpose is to provide people with the tools they need to do the work themselves, which led on to noting the importance of fame for good and to help others, and not to fuel the need to be seen.

We hope you enjoy the honest and frank chat - and the joy that comes from it!

Bestselling author Matt Haig joins Gaby for a chat about books, reading, anxiety, shyness and overcoming severe depression.

Matt is a huge advocate for good mental health - and he and Gaby share stories of rockier times in their lives. They discuss his new novel - "The Life Impossible" - which saw him return to Ibiza to write it (the place he almost committed suicide).

He also talks about the things that bring him joy, why he writes and how much it means when he gets reactions from his readers.
