I’m Klaudia Mitura, and I’m on a mission to explore the best happiness habits that science has to offer. Like so many others, the pandemic cut me off from family and work — so I decided to use my training as a psychologist to discover what science can tell us about the art of happiness. What I found set me on a path to joy — and now I’m sharing my journey with you. Each month I publish linked episodes where I speak to a leading expert, put their tips to the test, and share my findings (and feelings). From mindfulness to exercise and random acts of kindness, I’ll be shining a light on the simple happiness habits that can bring more joy to our lives. So join me as I embark on this challenge — and together we can become more successful, resilient, and happy. Klaudia is a work psychologist, Chief Happiness Officer, and the Learning and Development Manager at the Science Museum Group in the UK. In September 2025 she published The Alphabet of Happiness — available to order now: https://mybook.to/AlphabetofHappiness Check out Klaudia’s website for more information and downloadable resources: https://thehappinesschallenge.co.uk/","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T16:18:20.923113+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiness-challenge-155552"},"episode":{"title":"#216 10-Day Wellbeing Habit Quest Day 9 – Show Yourself Some Compassion","slug":"216-10-day-wellbeing-habit-quest-day-9-show-yourself-some-compassion","published_at":"2026-01-15T06:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiness-challenge-155552/216-10-day-wellbeing-habit-quest-day-9-show-yourself-some-compassion","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-happiness-challenge-155552","url":"https://thehappinesschallenge.co.uk/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/ec7be503-7b57-4588-9e84-b58e9db9f7c7.mp3","summary":"Welcome to Day 9 of the 10-Day Wellbeing Habit Quest, where we’re building one tiny wellbeing habit that actually sticks. Today’s episode is for the imperfect days. Because one of the biggest reasons people quit isn’t lack of information—it’s what happens after they miss a day: guilt, shame, and the feeling of “I’ve failed.” Klaudia shares a science-backed alternative: self-compassion —the skill that helps you reset and return, instead of giving up.
