Season 2 Episode 1 - Stephanie Harrison
In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with Stephanie Harrison!
Stephanie, founder of The New Happy, shares her personal journey of redefining happiness as she when through her teen years and early adulthood depressed and languishing. She talks about her struggles and the challenges she faced later on, when her partner, Alex, became gravely ill. Despite these hardships, Stephanie discovered joy amidst suffering, using her new understanding of happiness to navigate the difficult times.
Stephanie's philosophy centres on the power of helping others, which she found deeply fulfilling during her toughest moments. This principle is the foundation of The New Happy, where she ensures happiness is accessible to all, offering her resources freely. Our conversation explores the profound impact of giving and how it creates an environment where both the giver and receiver can thrive.’
Stephanie also discusses the importance of embracing authenticity and letting go of the uncontrollable. She advises against hustle culture, urging leaders to create workplaces where people feel safe to be themselves. One practical tool she shares from her book is “The Breakup,” a method to cultivate self-acceptance by separating actions from self-worth, promoting resilience and growth.
