Daily Happy Episode 3: Ted Lasso

I’m Suzanna Keith—wife, mom, marketing exec, recovering startup founder (yes, recovering), and someone who firmly believes that the world needs way more laughter and a lot less bad news!

Let’s be real:  the never-ending bad news cycle and the daily chaos of modern life, is making us fried and frustrated.. That’s exactly why I created this podcast: a mini mood booster to start your day with a smile, or chuckle.  Every few episodes, I’ll drop some recommendations for books, movies, and podcasts that are guaranteed to brighten your day — because we all deserve a little extra joy!

Today’s pick? Binge-watch the Apple show Ted Lasso!

Let me tell you — this show is like a warm hug wrapped in a British accent, topped with a biscuit (or should I say, a cookie — but don’t tell Ted). It follows an American college football coach — you guessed it, Ted Lasso — who gets hired to coach an English soccer team even though he knows about as much about soccer as I know about tax law. Or folding fitted sheets. Or how to keep a houseplant alive.

But here’s the thing — Ted’s not about fancy plays or tactical brilliance. His real superpower is his unshakable optimism and his uncanny ability to make people believe in themselves, even though they are hot messes.. He leads with kindness, humor, and an endless supply of corny jokes — basically, he’s the human version of sunshine with a mustache.
