Feel-Good Habits | Evy Pompouras
•
Evy Poumpouras is a speaker, mentor and former Secret Service agent who joins me on the podcast to share her feel-good habits, the strategies she uses and recommends to make sure every day is a good day.
In this episode, @evypoumpouras shares:
- Why avoidance gets you nowhere and it pays to face and address the things in life you find challenging.
- Why so many feel-good habits won’t feel good in the short-term, but it’s the long-term yield that makes consistency and perseverance worthwhile.
- Why her favourite form or instant gratification comes on the shape of a @dunkin Cappuccino Blast.
- Why her evening habits routine is ‘Evy Time’ and is how she can ensure she operates at her optimum.
- Her evening workout, which includes some kit from @onnit and why she loves being strong.
- The benefits she feels from using an inversion table.
- Why cold showers and meditation are part of her post-workout routine.
- The gratitude ritual that allows her to note what has gone well, but also holds her accountable for what hasn’t.
- Why getting outside in the morning is a way to really ‘wake up’ and why getting an errand done first thing leads to greater productivity throughout the day.
- The conversation she had with Marc Bernays-Randolph, the founder of @netflix about success and what makes people successful.
- And much much more…
If you want more of Evy's expertise and insights then her book Becoming Bulletproof is available now.

50:55|Caroline Hirons has the uncanny and rare ability to make you feel as though you are capable of anything and can achieve whatever you set your mind to, which is why I speak to her often and appreciate her friendship hugely. When things were tough during lockdown, she was one of the first people I wanted to get on the podcast so she could share that energy with a global audience who might just need to plug into a little bit of what Caroline has got.If you're hearing it again, I hope it makes you feel amazing and if you're hearing it for the first time, I hope you love it!Subscribe to my Substack.My Favourite Interviews | Chris Voss
01:12:26|Every time anyone asks me about my favourite guests, Chris Voss, is one of the first names to come out of my mouth. When else will you get to talk to a former FBI negotiator about the skills required to make every conversation you have meaningful?I use the advice I learned from Chris daily, which is why I think it's worth putting back at the top of the podcast feed for those who might enjoy hearing it again and those who haven't heard it before.Subscribe to my Substack.My Favourite Interviews | Lisa Potter Dixon
27:25|My friend, the makeup artist, author and brand founder Lisa Potter-Dixon, was one of the first people I asked to join me when I started the Feel-Good Habits podcast series. She is such good, warm and kind energy in real life and, when this series started in lockdown, it felt only fair to share that with a global audience. Unsurprisingly, she didn't disappoint.If you heard it before, I hope it makes you laugh again. If you're hearing it for the first time, I hope it makes your day.Subscribe to my Substack.My Favourite Interviews | Evy Poumpouras
01:18:36|If you've been here a while then you may have heard this conversation with former Secret Service Agent, Evy Poumpouras before, but I do encourage you to listen again because this is a stand-out for me when it comes to the interviews I've done over the last eight years on this podcast. If you're new here, then you're in for a treat!Evy is full of so many incredible and empowering insights and a huge amount of wisdom and her life experience, as a police office and secret service agent, are the kinds of things you just don't normally have access to. The fact she shared so generously and gave so much in this conversation is why I think it's well worth a re-post.Subscribe to my Substack.Bullet Points | Will this keep you young?
