Are you tired of people telling you what success and happiness looks like
and how much or how little you are entitled to?
Do you feel like you have to keep up the
façade of happy because that is what the world expects of you?
You Are Not Alone.
Hi, I’m Bona. I’m a lifelong learner who started this journey a few years ago myself. AND guess what? When I stopped passively living my life and started asking myself tough questions and looking for answers and guidance, I started to find more happy in little things.
Happiness Comes from the Inside...
not the outside, but it will take some digging to uncover what yours looks like. I figured out that it isn’t a destination, it’s a journey, and although every day is not necessarily a guaranteed success, as long as I keep striving, there is most definitely MORE HAPPY being found on this journey.
Why Me?
Anyone who knows me, knows I lead with my heart. No matter what role I’m in or what job I do, I can’t help but care about other people.
I think it would be much simpler to just take this journey by myself. There would be less rejection, less judgement, and certainly less stress! But you know what? On my journey I am learning to be vulnerable by opening up and sharing this adventure with you.
My defining moment was when a speaker at a conference asked “What is the dream in your heart?” I didn’t know the answer, but that question has lead me on a journey seeking love and acceptance of myself.
Why the Happier You Podcast
It was during that journey that the idea for The Happier You Podcast was born. I rejected it at first. “Nope, not for me. No desire to put myself out there in such a public way. I like my quiet life surrounded by friends and family who love and support me in whatever adventures I choose. Absolutely NO NEED to expose myself to anyone who could be negative or reject me!”
But the idea wouldn’t go away. Everything I read or listened to after that idea came, only supported the idea. ARGH!
One day I’m bopping along in my regular quiet life, and the next I’m starting a passion project where I bare what I consider my biggest vulnerability and share my measly little wins, hoping my journey will motivate and inspire other regular people like myself to find their own happy moments.
So, that’s me. That’s why I’m here, being totally vulnerable. I’m a girl with a big heart who wants to encourage, motivate and support others to find more happy in their lives! Like I said before, its not a destination, it’s a journey, and its totally worth the effort. YOU, The Happier You, is absolutely worth it.
