On this weeks episode I wanted to bring a little science and research to why the h*ll we can't seem to reach happiness. Turns out we have been focusing on the wrong things.

I review the most common things we think will make us happy, but don't and the proof it doesn't work. I end the episode reviewing why they don't make us happy and the one thing we do have control over that can help us work towards happiness, so we can stop wasting energy on what doesn't.

Hi friends. I ditched ya'll last week and I apologize. The reason was this right here. I just haven't been mentally 100% at my best. A lot of overthinking, a lot of self depreciation and I just didn't have the mental capacity for an episode. I decided, even though I still wasn't at my best by the time I recorded this episode, that 1) I wasn't missing two weeks in a row and 2) this is what Well ISH is all about. No matter how many tools you have in your self improvement tool belt, there are still mental lows we go through and you are not a failure because of it. Hang out with me and let's get back to our best selves at our own pace <3P.S. if you are having consistent feelings of overwhelming and heavy emotion Call 988 or Text 988 or Chat 988lifeline.org/chat for the Suicide and Crisis Hotline.

On this weeks episode I am discussing a fear that is very close to home, but in today's social media era not uncommon. Many of us work hard to not settle constantly being exposed to more of people's highlights in their life than they are to real life experiences.

I want to show you in this episode how this fear is causing that to happen simply by having it more than it would if you allowed yourself to let it go, give yourself permission to be okay with your life, AND what you need to do in order to not feel like you are living a life that you don't like. If you are constantly trying to level up but never feel good enough or like you're doing it right this episode is for you.
