Harnessing The Power of Gratitude For Joyful Living EP#097

Podcast

Today I'm talking about harnessing the power of gratitude for joyful living. In today's episode, I share 6 reasons why I think gratitude is an important happiness tool and why I think you should try the Gratitude Challenge and see for yourself.

This year, I wanted to up the game a bit and encourage…

Why Self-Awareness Is Important to Our Happiness Journey EP#088

Podcast

Today's podcast is about why self-awareness is important to our happiness journey. Many people tell me that they don't know where to start on their happiness journey, because they don't know what their happiness actually looks like. If you feel like this, you are not alone.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter where you are starting from, it just matters that you start. In today's episode I talk about how while I was creating the Building Your Happiness Foundation Course, I realized that…
