What if happily ever after wasn’t a destination… but a decision?

In this deeply heartwarming and soul-nourishing episode, host Betsy sits down with the radiant Amy Furbay—self-proclaimed Chief Happiness Officer, co-owner of Cincinnati’s beloved Trevor Furbay store, and walking embodiment of authentic joy. From losing her mom at age seven to navigating heartbreak, reinvention, and new beginnings, Amy shares how she’s used gratitude, signs from the universe (hello, koala bears and doves!), and inner strength to create her own version of “happily ever after”—one rooted not in perfection, but in perspective.

We talk about:

• Choosing joy—even on the messy days
• Letting grief and gratitude coexist
• Living with intention, boundaries, and bubbly energy
• The power of pivots and trusting closed doors
• Why her marriage now works—and how you can attract aligned love too
• How Amy brings contagious joy into her business and beyond

This episode is a warm hug, a pep talk, and a reminder that you are never alone. If you’re craving more lightness, love, and real talk in your life—press play and let Amy’s sunshine seep into your soul.

✨ Share this with a friend who needs a pick-me-up or a reminder that life can keep getting better. Let’s write our own stories—one brave chapter at a time.
