Join me, Ella McCrystal, for a deeply inspiring, moving, fun and insightful conversation with the beautiful Holly Matthews…former TV actress (Waterloo Road, Casualty, Byker Grove), widowed mother of two, self-development coach, award winning, best-selling author of two books and founder of The Happy Me Project.
Holly’s ‘The Happy Me Project’ takes an intuitive, straight-talking approach to self-development, and is dedicated to helping people navigate life with resilience and confidence.
Holly’s TED Talk has resonated with over 500,000 viewers, and she has been a trusted voice on Lorraine, BBC, ITV, Talk Radio, Channel 5 News, and numerous national publications, including The Daily Mail, Mirror, The Sun, Closer, Hello, Psychologies Magazine, Metro, Grazia, Business Insider, and Prima Magazine.
Following the loss of her husband Ross to brain cancer in 2017, Holly transitioned from acting to empowering others through grief, loss, and self-belief. Her work simplifies self-development, stripping away the jargon and making personal growth accessible and relatable.
The Happy Me Project has seen two sell-out workshop tours across the U.K. and the hugely successful RESTIVAL…her signature positive mindset festival.
In our conversation, Holly opens up about her ADHD diagnosis, how it informs her work, and her commitment to making self-development inclusive for all brain types.
Nominated twice for a Diversity Award, she is the BBC’s go-to “Motivator in Chief”, bringing her no-nonsense approach to confidence and self-belief to radio, podcasts, and TV.
Holly has coached thousands worldwide…from mums on the school run to Brit Award-winning pop stars…helping them feel "more happy and less crappy" with her raw, relatable, and deeply compassionate approach.
I fell in love with Holly, I know you will too!
This episode is one to uplift, inspire, and remind you that self-development is for everyone. Don’t miss it!
