Live, Uncut and Straight Talking – The Feel Good Hour Launches With a New Take on Happiness
The Feel Good Hour Podcast, has launched with a bold, stripped-back format – recorded live in one take with no edits – tackling real-life problems with practical tools that work, starting with a challenge to one of the biggest myths around ‘happiness’.
Hosted by Nigel Jones, best-selling author, life coach and hypnotherapist, alongside broadcaster and well-being advocate Sam Griffin, the show builds on its origins as a radio segment and steps into a full podcast format.
No edits. No second takes. What you hear is exactly what happened.
Watch the full episode of The Feel Good Hour
The concept is simple: real-life problems, straight answers, tools that work.
Each episode takes a specific challenge – from anxiety and sleep to habits and mindset – and breaks it down into what’s going on and, more importantly, what people can do about it in real life. The format is designed to feel like listening in on a live coaching session, with Sam asking the questions listeners are already thinking, and Nigel giving practical, experience-based answers.
The debut episode tackles one of the biggest well-being topics: happiness.
But instead of repeating the usual advice, the episode challenges one of the most common assumptions people still believe – that happiness comes from what happens to you.
Nigel draws on principles from positive psychology, including the PERMA model, alongside his own coaching work and personal experience, to show that happiness is far more influenced by mindset, focus and daily habits than external events.
Sam keeps the conversation grounded, cutting through theory and pushing for clarity so the focus stays on what people can actually use.
Originally developed from a radio show format, The Feel Good Hour has already built a loyal following and now reaches a growing audience across the UK, Europe, the USA and worldwide.
The aim is not to over complicate well-being, but to make it practical, accessible and useful.
As Nigel puts it: “Overthinking keeps people stuck. Better thinking moves you forward.”
