This week, I’m inviting you into one of the most important conversations we can have: What truly makes you happy? Not the fleeting kind of happiness that comes from vacations, new shoes, or a great dinner out (though those are wonderful too!)—but the kind of happiness that’s sustainable, grounded, and internal.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why we often look outside ourselves to feel good—and why it doesn’t last

• How disconnection from ourselves keeps us stuck in autopilot

• The difference between joy, contentment, and fulfillment

• What the Buddha can teach us about real peace (and why Disney's Jasmine is the unexpected parallel!)

• Simple ways to bring mindfulness into your real, busy life—starting today

This is your invitation to stop outsourcing your happiness, and start reclaiming it from within.
