#402 | The Biggest Things That Get In the Way of Happiness
We’ve been taught to chase happiness like a finish line. In today’s episode, we peel back the layers of what happiness really is. Together, we explore the longing beneath the surface, the need for safety in our nervous systems, the quiet power of consent in relationships, and the kind of fulfillment that doesn’t shout, but steadies. If you’ve ever felt like something was missing, even when life looked good on paper, this conversation is for you.
