Product Information

This book was exactly what I needed in this moment in my life and if that doesn’t express there is something bigger then us then I don’t know what does.

Cotton studied art at A-level, a skill she used whilst presenting the series Draw Your Own Toons. [8] Television [ edit ] Children's [ edit ] I especially appreciated the section on enneagram types, 'cause boy has that helped me understand what's going on in my head. In her brand-new book, Fearne Cotton seeks out the insight and advice of wise minds to explore what they can teach us to achieve happiness, connection and hope. Cotton has also presented many charity telethons for both Comic Relief and Children in Need on BBC One and BBC Two. In July 2005 she co-presented the BBC's coverage of Live 8 in Hyde Park. During the event, British pop star and former Take That member Robbie Williams flirted with her in front of the cameras, causing much speculation in the media at the time, but which was later repudiated by the pair. [13] In 2008, she hosted a Strictly Come Dancing special as part of Children in Need. Cotton is the voice over of the Tesco Mobile adverts since late 2020. She also became the voice over of the On the Beach radio adverts in 2022.Cotton guest presented The One Show on BBC One for two nights in November 2013, two nights in February 2014, one night in March 2014 and one night in March 2016.

Cotton is a friend of fellow TV presenter Holly Willoughby, with whom she has co-presented several shows. [36] Cotton and Sarah Cawood acted as two of the bridesmaids at Willoughby's wedding to Dan Baldwin on 4 August 2007. [37] This book covered a great deal, but unfortunately it didn't go into much detail - this left me a little disappointed. Cotton had interviewed some of her favourite practitioners in each field - but these were people she has previously had on her 'Happy Place' podcast, so I felt a bit short changed. I listen to the podcast, and love the podcast but I wasn't expecting half of this book to almost be a transcript of the podcast.

From intuition and energy to manifesting, ritual, prayer and signs, I have explored positive ideas and simple exercises that are available to every single one of us.Since 2009, Cotton has hosted Fearne and... on ITV2. In 2012, Cotton hosted The Nation's Favourite Number One Single, a three-part series, revealing Britain's Favourite No. 1 single. Since 2016, Cotton has co-presented Fearne & Gok: Off The Rails, alongside Gok Wan for ITVBe. [11] In March 2017, Cotton guest presented five episodes of ITV Breakfast's Lorraine programme. [12] BBC [ edit ] Donna Lancaster, co-founder of The Bridge Retreat, will introduce The Power of Prayer, an alternative non-religious approach to praying, that supports people to connect with the spiritual dimension to life. This form of prayer is not about a traditional belief in God or religion, but about reclaiming prayer for everyone to access, as a beautiful practice bringing you into a deeper connection with Life itself. Donna believes that praying regularly in this way helps people to become more trusting, open and connected as a direct result.

How we get to that place is another story. My own rollercoaster of self-examination has been one of severe self-loathing at times and I’m so desperate to settle into a calmer plateau of self-acceptance. I assume that once I get there my relationships will be better, my love for the planet will be more respectful and my understanding of love in all its many guises will be cemented. I believe love is where it’s at when it comes to living a spiritual life of connection and meaning. It’s often the answer to so many of our problems but so often we forget it’s for us, due to feelings of unworthiness, and can’t perceive it in others as we only see our differences. Cotton hosted Sky1's talent search Must Be The Music for one series in 2010. [15] Commercials [ edit ]The summarisation of everything we’ve heard a hundred times, but coupled with expert views and a much deeper - relatable and personal- dive, makes for a book I intend to read again and again. And probably again. There are many different ways we can connect with ourselves some traditional ways include meditation, yoga, astrology, crystal healing and prayer (not just religious). However other less obvious ways include having a cup of tea, listening to music, exercise, getting out in nature, crafting, cleaning, practicing gratitude, posting positive content on socials and other great habits. We all have our own ways of finding contentment in the world. However embarking on a new idea can sometimes give us a sense of being an imposter because we don’t recognise ourselves in that particular way, let me tell you, you can be anything … you don’t have to be an expert to start something new! I hadn’t heard of many of the people that Fearne interviewed for this book and so it was refreshing to discover new people within the spiritual world. One of the biggest things I have taken away from this is prayer. Growing up in a Church of England school, I always thought prayer belonged to religion and I never really felt any connection with Christianity. Since reading this book I have been praying daily to the higher power and it has been incredibly healing already. Talking out loud and trusting something bigger then us is listening, without judgement has opened my mind.
