HappierMe Podcast - Ideas for an extraordinary life

Disciplining children with care

In this abridged podcast we explore how we can set boundaries for children and discipline them with care.

Dominic Curran is a former headteacher and the father of 3 sons. Dr Manoj Krishna is a former surgeon and the founder of HappierMe.

How can we, as parents, teachers and carers use our wisdom to set boundaries for kids and enforce them with care so we help them in their personal growth, do not damage our bond with them and keep our cool at the same time.

Dealing with anger, and angry people

Anger is part of being human and can protect us from harm, but can also harm us and others, and damage our mental and physical health. It is behind much of the violence in the world, and plays a role in the 20% of people that suffer from domestic abuse. 1 million cases of violence against women were recorded by police in 2022/23, just in the UK.

This is preventable.

A deeper understanding of the root causes of anger can help us use our emotional intelligence to manage it better. This understanding can also help us deal better with angry people.

This is an excerpt of a podcast that goes under the hood to explore the root causes of anger and what we can do to manage it with greater intelligence, and deal with people who are angry.

Emotional mastery for leaders

This is a conversation between Jessica Lyonford, author of the Happy Leader Playbook, and Dr Manoj Krishna, founder of HappierMe.

In this episode, they unpack one of the most overlooked leadership levers of our time: your emotional mind. This isn’t just about mindfulness. This is about learning to lead without the emotional chaos that’s costing you energy, connection and clarity.

We get into:

🔥 Why stress isn’t the enemy—but your reaction to it might be

🧠 How unconscious emotional patterns sabotage your decisions (and how to break them)

🚨 The 3-word question that can immediately shift your leadership presence

💥 What happens when high-performers stop outsourcing peace and start mastering it

📲 How the HappierMe app gives you daily reps to strengthen your emotional leadership muscle

I believe emotional mastery is no longer optional—it’s a non-negotiable skillset for anyone building meaningful impact. And if you’re not leading yourself clearly, you’ll keep bleeding time, energy and influence in ways you can’t afford.

Your Power Move Today

Notice your next emotional trigger—and pause. Don’t explain it away. Don’t numb it. Just ask: “What’s really happening in me right now?” That pause? That’s leadership in action.

Want the edge most leaders are missing?
