Stephen Flynn, the Happy Pear

Episode 1,   Jun 20, 2022, 04:00 AM

“What's the difference between ‘illness’ and ‘wellness’?”

“There’s an ‘I’ in illness and a 'We’ in wellness”

In Suzanne’s very first episode of the 'Dare to be Happy' podcast, combining health and community is at the forefront of the discussion with Steven Flynn, one half of The Happy Pear.

Steven shares the amazing journey he started over 15 years ago with his twin Dave and his two brothers building an amazing community, still now with the mission to help everyone get happier and healthier!

Suzanne and Steven discuss as a society how we can approach being healthier by introducing whole foods into our diets, following research showing the single best thing we can do for the environment is move towards a plant based diet. Steven reminds us that Veganism is very binary and we don’t have to feel like we have to be perfect. There is a whole spectrum. The more whole foods you eat, the closer you move to health.

A massive advocate for community, Steven talks about how support from friends, family and different people in his life has played a massive part in finding joy, gratitude and feeling contentment.

Listen out for some top tips on how to start making the smaller changes to our diets and lifestyles and how to get the kids involved to help them make better choices inside and outside of the home.

How does Steven ‘Dare you to be happy?'

Try to say hello to people as you walk past. Everything starts with a hello and simply just making eye contact releases serotonin which is good for you!

The Happy Pear consists of Steven and Dave’s cafe and shop in Greystones, Wicklow, 60 products, 7 online courses, 5 cookbooks, a farm, a roastery and a community of over 1 million people living healthier!
