Workplace Well-being and Mental Health: "how we are is how we are regardless of where we are. So our mental health or how we're thinking and processing things, some days we can have lots of energy, some days not."
Celynn Morin
00:04:27
00:04:39
The Importance of Gut Health: "Everything that we eat will affect the gut and specifically the gut microbiome, which is this universe of bacteria and viruses and all kinds of organisms without which we can't survive."
Celynn Morin
00:07:57
00:08:22
Stress Eating and Cravings: "And so a lot of the blood will then move away from the internal organs, the digestive system towards the brain. However, some of us may find that we have an increased appetite, especially for sugary foods, because when we are feeling stressed, we release more cortisol and glycogen and glucose into the blood, and so you can then crave sweet things, which is why when people are stressed, they often say, I have to eat more cake or I really feel like alcohol or I need stimulants."
Celynn Morin
00:24:42
00:24:45
Understanding Alcohol Consumption: "don't drink to forget, Drink to celebrate."
Celynn Morin
00:25:54

Mindfulness and Stress Management: "And what if we learn to sit in stillness and just be with our breath, with ourselves, with our thoughts, with the feelings?"
Celynn Morin
00:27:42
00:27:56
The Benefits of Mindful Breathing: "when you regulate your breathing, when you slow it down, and that can happen in, in as few as, you know, 2 or 3 breaths, you reduce your blood pressure, you increase what we call heart rate variability, which is an important predictor for well-being and stress management."
Celynn Morin
00:35:14
00:35:31
Embracing Self-Discovery After Leaving a Religious Community: "And so it's been a very sacred and delicate journey. You know? It's been almost 10 years now and 7 years since I've been in the UK, and moving to the United Kingdom was one of the best decisions I made because I had to move I had to create distance between that part of my life."
Celynn Morin
00:41:06
00:41:19
The Pursuit of Joy: "So joy is an internal job. How can I manage my own joy despite what's happening around me? And that's really my focus, or it has been for the last few years, but currently is how can I just be me and joyful?"
Celynn Morin
00:43:56
00:44:02
The Paradox of Success: "the more they seem to have, the less happy they are because there's a sense of, well, you know, I could lose it all."
Celynn Morin
00:49:18
00:49:25
The Power of Relaxation and Meditation: "we literally create a different electromagnetic field around us, and we attract different people and opportunities."

[Opening Music]
Joanne Lockwood: Welcome, listeners! I'm Joanne Lockwood, and you're tuned into The Inclusion Bites Podcast. Today's episode, "Dancing with Vitality," delves into the art of embracing life's moments and taking a conscious approach to well-being. Joining me is the effervescent Celynn Morin, who brings a fizz of excitement akin to popping a bottle of champagne—a nod to life-affirming celebrations and her own heritage in France's Champagne region.
Together, we'll explore themes of mindfulness, the power of regulated breathing, and the physiological and mental effects they impart. We'll examine how small breaks and grounding strategies can transform our productivity and vitality, both in and out of the workplace.
Delving into personal stories, Celynn shares her journey of stepping away from the Jehovah's Witnesses community, demonstrating the power of love and respect beyond beliefs and differences.
We'll also uncover the social and physiological facets of food consumption, as my wife and I have found by keeping a food diary, and how Celynn uses the concept of 'adding by subtracting' to encourage healthier living choices.
The pressures of wealth and status, the pursuit of joy, and the practice of taking time for oneself also come under discussion, as we consider the wisdom of finding sufficiency in our lives.
Celynn introduces the 'Wellbeing calculator' – a tool to reflect on the fundamental habits that underpin our well-being.
Through shared experiences and insightful tips, we'll underscore the importance of connecting with our head, heart, and gut to nurture our well-being. We’ll wrap up this enriching journey with a reminder of the importance of curiosity, joy, and freedom, even in the face of life’s certainties and definitions.
So, take a deep breath, settle in, and let's explore how vitality in life is not just about the steps we take, but about the joy and inclusion we infuse into each movement. Don't forget to subscribe to Inclusion Bites and share this journey with us.

Title: Reflecting on Vitality and Inclusion: My Time on The Inclusion Bites Podcast with Joanne Lockwood
As I reflect on my recent appearance on The Inclusion Bites Podcast, hosted by the remarkable Joanne Lockwood, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to discus topics near and dear to my heart. Sharing the virtual stage with Jo, I was able to delve into the quintessence of well-being, the nuanced art of mindful living, and the vital role of inclusion in our everyday lives.
Joanne is a paragon of inclusion and transformation, and her unwavering commitment to driving real change resonated with me throughout our discussion. By underscoring the importance of embracing every unique aspect of oneself, she creates a platform that not only celebrates diversity but actively champions it.
During the episode titled "Dancing with Vitality," I had the occasion to unfold the story behind the celebratory uncorking of a champagne bottle—a small, yet significant, reminder to savour life’s moments irrespective of life’s ebbs and flows. With my roots extending into the Champagne region of France, it was a delight to use the intricate champagne making process as a metaphor for nurturing our well-being. And as I shared, this begins with moments of stillness and conscious breathing, core practices to handle life's stress without leaning on food or alcohol as a crutch.
Navigating the conversation, Joanne shared her personal experiences with mindfulness exercises, adding a deeply humane touch to the theoretical concepts. Together, we discussed physiological benefits, such as reducing blood pressure, that come from regulated breathing and being centred—essential before impactful communication or presentation.
A particularly poignant part of our dialogue centred around my departure from the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Without shying away from the emotional weight of this transition, we explored the themes of self-discovery, unconditional love, and respect. Joanne's empathetic approach allowed for a rich exploration of these challenging yet liberating times in my life.
We also wove in discussions around making conscious food choices—a topic I am passionate about. With Joanne revealing her own practice of maintaining a food diary alongside her wife, it was a seamless transition to discussing the power of awareness and choice in our daily consumption.
Touching upon a healthier lifestyle, I was keen to share the concept of adding healthier alternatives into our routines, rather than simply imposing restrictions upon ourselves. The joy and momentum Joanne found in her own choices shone through as she recounted her positive experiences with sparkling water and her commitment to sobriety.
As the conversation ebbed towards a conclusion, we delved into the broader implications of having "sufficient" and the intrinsic worth of joy and freedom over the ceaseless pursuit of wealth and status. The dialogue we crafted was a testament to finding balance and well-being amidst a world often obsessed with more.
Thank you, Joanne Lockwood, for shining your light on these subjects and for giving me a platform to share my philosophies with the Inclusion Bites audience. My hope is that our discussion will not only enlighten but also empower listeners to make choices that uplift their vitality and embrace the diversity within and around them.
For those who missed the episode, I invite you to listen in and join us on this journey of inclusion and well-being. And remember, taking the time to care for yourself and others is not just an act of self-love but a vital step towards creating a more inclusive world.
Warmest Regards,
Celynn Morin

Often, we find ourselves caught in a relentless pursuit of success, ignoring the toll it takes on our well-being. But what if we paused, took a breath, and learned to dance with vitality?
The Problem:
In a world that celebrates hustle over health, many individuals struggle with maintaining a balance between enjoying life and managing professional and personal demands.

Title: Leadership Insights Channel - Embracing Mindfulness for Effective Leadership
[Begin]
Host: Welcome to the Leadership Insights Channel. Today, we explore a common hurdle every leader encounters – managing stress and maintaining clarity in decision-making.
Leaders face the daunting task of juggling multiple tasks, making pivotal decisions, and setting the tone for their teams. Under such pressure, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and resort to quick fixes like working through breaks or relying on caffeine to power through the day.
However, these habits can be counterproductive, leading to burnout, reduced productivity, and impaired communication. The key to steering clear of these pitfalls is to practice mindfulness – a simple yet powerful tool.
First, incorporate brief moments of stillness into your day. Just a minute of deep, conscious breathing can lower blood pressure, improve focus, and enhance well-being. Before a meeting or a challenging task, take a deep breath and ground yourself. This helps in delivering a composed and thought-out communication.
Secondly, be mindful of quick fixes like overconsumption of food or alcohol when stressed. Quality over quantity is vital – enjoy life's moments sensibly. Conscious living prevents using external stimulants as a crutch, promoting better health and decision-making.
Incorporate healthy pauses. Small breaks during your day aren't just breathing spaces – they're opportunities to reconnect with your core values and interact genuinely with your team, demonstrating compassion and understanding.
Lastly, rethink your relationship with productivity. An environment that values sufficient achievements over endless pursuits of wealth and status nurtures joy and freedom. As leaders, we must embody this principle for our own wellness and to set a precedent for others.
Remember, leadership is about being a role model – not just in what you do but how you deal with stress and foster well-being.
Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Leadership Insights Channel. We'll be back with more strategies to empower your journey to effective, compassionate leadership.

**Text on screen: Mindfulness in a Bottle** 🥂
Hey everyone! Have you ever paused to truly savor a moment – like popping open a bottle of champagne? Not just for the taste, but for the experience of being fully present.
**Text on screen: Quality Over Quantity** 🍷
It's important to enjoy life's indulgences mindfully. That means, choosing quality over quantity. When it comes to alcohol, it's not about how much you drink, but how you drink it.
**Text on screen: Breathe, Relax, Connect** 🧘♀️
When stress knocks on your door, don't reach for food or a drink as a crutch. Instead, take a moment of stillness. Practice conscious breathing. It's astonishing how a deep breath can regulate your pressure and uplift your well-being.
**Text on screen: Ground Before You Speak** 🗣️
Before a big presentation or a stressful encounter, ground yourself. Just one minute to recenter can skyrocket your productivity and bring clarity to your thoughts.
**Text on screen: Breaks Are Essential** ⏳
Caught in back-to-back meetings? Take tiny breaks. Regain your composure, and connect on a human level. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

Make smarter food choices by being conscious – it’s about adding alternatives, not just denying pleasures. Swap out chocolate for a healthier stress-reliever, or replace that glass of wine with sparkling water.
**Text on screen: Sufficient is Plenty** 🛑
Remember, having “sufficient” can be more enriching than an endless chase for wealth and status. It’s about making declarations for abundance, not abundance of possessions but of life itself.
**Text on screen: The Power of Slow Breathing** 💨
Embrace the practice of slow, deep breathing. Not just as a relaxation technique but as a bridge to attracting more opportunities and a positive mindset.

Why Listen:
Welcome, everyone, to this enriching episode of the Inclusion Bites Podcast, where we dive into the essence of holistic well-being in the workplace with the delightful Celynn Morin. Today's dialogue is steeped in a tapestry of vitality, where every thread weaves together stories, metaphorical insight from champagne, to mindful eating, and deep, transformative breathing. This conversation will not only reshape your perspective on workplace well-being but bring to life the term "Positive People Experiences" in its richest form.
In our modern era of endless metrics and deadlines, carving out the space for culture change within our professional environments can often feel like an uphill battle. However, as Celynn and I will explore, the power of this change can ripple through every facet of our lives, heralding a shift towards a more conscious, centred self that is impactful both personally and corporately.
From the tranquil vineyards of the Champagne region to the boardrooms cradling the pulse of commerce, we dissect how core principles of well-being, including physiological balance, mental clarity, and emotional resilience, are interconnected within the realm of our working lives. Celebrating quality over quantity in every aspect – whether it be the food we savour, the air we breathe, or the interactions we foster with colleagues – becomes a cornerstone of our discussion on holistic well-being.
It's not merely about reacting to workplace stress but proactively cultivating an environment where each individual is empowered to be their best self. And as Celynn eloquently shares, "It's not just about the food we put into our bodies, it's about the thoughts and the energy we consume every day."

Problem: Workplace stress and burnout are on the rise, impacting holistic well-being.
**Why?**
Employees and employers may not be fully aware of the importance of holistic well-being, which includes physical health, mental health, and nutrition.
**Why?**
There may be a lack of education and training on the interconnectivity of these aspects of well-being and their cumulative effect on performance and job satisfaction.
**Why?**
In many organisations, there can be a focus on immediate productivity and financial outcomes over long-term employee health and engagement strategies.
**Why?**
This could stem from traditional business models that prioritise economic growth and shareholder value above the well-being of their employees.
**Why?**
Cultural and societal values have historically centred around financial success as the primary marker of progress and achievement, often to the detriment of other life quality indicators.
**Summary of Findings:**
Workplace stress and burnout occur in part because of a deeper societal valuation of financial success over well-being. This is compounded by traditional business practices that focus on short-term gains and an overall lack of holistic health education in the professional environment.
**Potential Solutions:**
- Conduct educational workshops and webinars on the importance of holistic well-being at work, highlighting the connection between diet, mental health, and performance.
- Re-evaluate corporate policies and practices to better support employee well-being, including flexible work schedules, mental health days, and well-being programmes.
- Encourage the implementation of regular well-being assessments, like the Wellbeing Calculator discussed by Celynn Morin, to provide employees with personalised feedback on their well-being status and areas for improvement.
- Incorporate regular stress-reduction and mindfulness training into the workplace, such as breathing exercises and mindful eating practices, to enhance focus and reduce stress.
- Leadership development programmes should include components on understanding the importance of employee well-being and how to foster a culture that values it.
- Consider restructuring reward systems to recognise contributions to employee health and happiness, not just financial achievements.
- Promote a change in corporate culture that values sustainability and long-term health over immediate fiscal performance, aligning with societal shifts toward well-being.
By addressing these issues, The Inclusion Bites Podcast episode titled "Dancing with Vitality" aims to open a dialogue about prioritising holistic well-being in the workplace, hoping to inspire changes that lead to more sustainable and inclusive work environments.

Title: Embracing Vitality: A Conversation with Celynn Morin on Well-Being and Mindfulness
Meta Description: Join Joanne Lockwood as she recounts a fascinating dialogue with well-being expert Celynn Morin on managing stress, conscious consumption, and finding joy in simplicity.
Introduction:
I recently had the pleasure of delving into a discussion brimming with insights and strategies for enriching our lives with vitality and well-being along with the remarkable Celynn Morin. So often, we find ourselves caught in the rigmarole of daily life, witnessing our vitality being sapped by stress and chaos. It's about time we reclaimed our vigour, and for those intrigued by the dance of a healthy and mindful lifestyle, Celynn shared a treasure trove of wisdom to revitalise both our bodies and spirits.
Savouring the Moment with Conscious Consumption
Celynn's opening remark about popping a bottle of champagne captured our imagination immediately, as she illustrated the art of celebrating the present. Her approach to conscious consumption extends beyond mere abstinence; it advocates savouring quality over quantity. But how often do we pause to appreciate the finer sips of life without overindulgence? Celynn, with her deep roots in France's effervescent Champagne region, offered a metaphor for well-being that bubbles with mindfulness.
Guest's Breathing Space: The Physiology of Stress Management
Breathing might seem as natural as, well, breathing, but how often do we do it with intent? I learned from Celynn about regulated breathing's incredible effects on reducing blood pressure and fostering well-being. Moreover, have you considered the impact that a minute of grounding can have before a pivotal presentation? In a fast-paced world, pausing to breathe is the simplest yet most profound strategy Celynn offered for enhancing productivity and clarity.
The Art of Mindful Eating and Drinking
My wife and I shared our journey of food consciousness, tracking our intake meticulously. Celynn resonated with this, underscoring the importance of awareness in driving healthier choices. But it's not just about restriction; it's about creating delectable alternatives like trading chocolate for other stress-relievers. Have you ever thought of alternative snacks that could satiate without the guilt? The conversation meandered through strategies for changing relationships with food setting a powerful example for others.
Breaking Free and Finding Self-Discovery
Diving deeper into personal revelations, Celynn recounted her poignant exit from the Jehovah's Witnesses after 18 years, framing it as a journey to self-discovery draped in freedom, despite the lingering feelings of guilt and shame. She posed a compelling thought – how does releasing oneself from long-held beliefs shape our identity and interaction with the world? This segment took a tender turn as we delved into the psychology of unconditional love amidst philosophical differences.
Strategies for Well-Being: More than Just a Calculator
Truly, well-being is an equation with multiple variables, something Celynn imparted upon us with her 'Wellbeing Calculator', addressing habits like sleep, exercise, and hydration. Do you monitor these daily inputs to gauge your life's balance? I even shared how my personal plunge into fitness reshaped not just my health but my zest for life, suggesting that fulfilment could be quantified and achieved with the right mindset.
Curiosity, Joy, and Freedom: The Path to Personal Growth
Ultimately, the dialogue circled back to our shared values: embracing curiosity, seeking joy, and the liberty that comes from personal growth. Celynn and I discussed how we've sought to expand through coaching and therapy, constantly growing beyond our own circumstances. Have you ever wondered what holds us back from experiencing life's full spectrum of colour and vibrancy?
Conclusion:
Our conversation flourished like an intricate dance of thoughts and revelations on maintaining a vibrant disposition amid life's challenges. As Celynn and I unravelled the threads of well-being, we found that joy, freedom, and vitality are not mere whims but deliberate choices made in each unperturbed breath, enjoyed sip, and mindful bite.
We parted with shared gratitude for you, our listeners who traverse these waters of transformation with us. Your journey matters, and I welcome you to reach out at jo.lockwood@seechangehappen.co.uk with your thoughts and experiences.

Title: A Dance with Life's Vitality
In a land where bubbles rise, and joyous laughter meets the skies,
A toast to moments, fleeting, sweet, where heartbeats skip and lovers meet.
With conscious sips of life's fine wine, we find the balance, draw the line,
For not in excess do we seek, but in the rare, the unique.
Deep in the heart of French terrain, where grapes in golden sunbeams reign,
A lesson learnt from vine's own tale, where well-being's the holy grail.
Stand still amidst life's swirling rush, breathe deep, let stress and worries hush,
With every breath a wave's retreat, in quietude, our hearts do beat.
In this waltz of life, we find, a truth that's known, yet often blind,
The bite of haste that shadows cast, can be outdanced, when breaths are vast.
Inhale, exhale, the body's song, where peace and calm assuredly belong,
With speaking poise, we share our voice, in silence first, we make the choice.
Round tables set with meetings back-to-back, a moment's pause, composure's track,
To reconnect with human grace, and see the soul behind the face.
A journey brave from faith unbound, where guilt and shame once did confound,
Now freedom's dance, and self newfound, in love's condition, sweetly sound.
A diary held of what we eat, a barcode's tale of treats discreet,
One muffin split, a choice so small, yet conscious living aids us all.
To change, not just deny our want, add life's elixir, let it haunt
The usual cravings with new zest, choose living water, pass the test.
In this mirthful dance of less, where wealth and status softly press,
We find our joy, our freedom's tune, beneath a bright and cheerful moon.
To live, to love, to truly be, in simple bliss, with hearts set free,
The dance of life, a twist, a twirl, in conscious steps, our dreams unfurl.
Our needs are met with self-care's vow, in head, and heart, and gut, we bow,
To life's great dance, we bring our fire, and twinkle brightly, ever higher.
With gratitude, the steps we trace, inviting all to join the space,
To share the dance, the vibrant glee, of living true, of being free.
So, take this rhythm, hold it near, let it guide through each new year,
And if you wish to hear more tales, subscribe and join the wind-filled sails.
In stories shared, we unite and rise, while dancing with vitality's prize.
With thanks to Celynn Morin for a fascinating podcast episode.
