I went to happiness school, so you don't have to. Welcome to MILIEU, a search for the life worth living, where context is queen. Because enjoying a better life requires using a better lens. I'll use my background - a career in TV and film, a global education, life coach training, and a master’s in applied positive psychology - the science of human flourishing - to debunk happiness myths, find nuance that creates a shift, and have conversations with people who ignite my path. Join me as we uncover - what’s your lens?
