In this episode, you and I are getting intentional about your happiness. Happiness is misunderstood. Fortunately, there’s a ton of research that explains why it can be so elusive and, even better, HOW you can create a happier life, starting today. Our conversation about happiness begins with breaking down the two types of happiness and why it’s important for you to include both in your life. You’ll also learn four practical takeaways that research says are key for cultivating more happiness in your daily life. I love this episode, and I can’t wait for you to experience it! I am bringing the science and the strategies, and I have a phenomenal metaphor to share with you that will forever change the way you view happiness.
