You gain wisdom with age they say (; I've learned some valuable things this far and figured I'd share them with you! In honor of turning 26 last weekend, it seemed fitting for this episode, Enjoy!

This episode is all about changing the way we perceive things and transforming our mindset for an overall happier life! Our perception is our reality, but that doesn't mean it's actually reality...We view things through different filters based on life experiences we've had. I really go into depth about the importance of feeding our minds with positivity and replacing negative thoughts with words of affirmation! 

Welcome to a new year of podcast episodes on Help YOUR Happy! In todays episode I give a few tips on how to leave the past where it belongs, so you can live a life free of any wrong that has been done to you. I also open up about how I am consciously making an effort to create space for God to show up in my relationship. 

This year has been a whirlwind! From military orders, to starting my podcast and moving to California you can say I have not had a boring year. You've been with me through it all and I wanted to relive some of those moments in this episode. Thank you for supporting my craziness and showing me love through this every growing community of Help YOUR Happy! I've got some exciting things up my sleeve for this podcast next year and can't wait to bring you along on the ride! See ya in 2022!

It's easier to avoid addressing problems in our life, and to continue to cope with them in the best way we know how. My way, shopping...spending money...denying there's even a problem honestly. As this year comes to an end, I want you to make an effort to be more intentional with yourself, your habits and figure out if it's time to switch it up and become a better version of yourself! Don't wait for the new year to become the you, you were always meant to be. 

This is the episode I've been impatiently waiting to post!!! You guys, Dani and I's friendship was by no mistake. From randomly meeting at a nail salon, to an inseparable friendship.  She thinks the way I do, and we connect on such a deep level with our faith and the path God has lead us on.  In this episode we open up about our faith and FEAR of diving into our full-potential that God has for us; and open up about the reality of chasing after those things, even when we are completely unsure where it will lead us.  I'm confident that there is something in this episode for everyone, and I can't wait to hear what you think of it! To follow more info about the podcast: @HelpYOURHappy@immeasureably.more.podcastPersonal Instagram: @livelaugh_lanaFollow Dani:@dannnicakesSupport this Podcast:I'd love it if you'd rate, review and subscribe!!

"Let Go, and Let God." Why is it so easy to get caught up in the plans we have made for ourselves, when we know that it isn't about our plan? that regardless how hard we try to make things work, it will always go according to Gods plan over our own..in this episode I open up about why I've hesitated to share my faith on my podcast, and what suddenly changed my mind! I also go into depth about the bible verse I cherish, this verse has carried me through some really hard times, and you are not alone if you feel like you are too flawed for God to still want you, for him to still pursue you every single day. He promises to never leave us! and to fight our battles for us, and with that promise;  we will always see a victory!

Sticks and Stones may break my bones but, words can never hurt me....I hate that saying. Words have hurt me more than anything that's caused me physical pain. Broken bones heal, but negative words stick with you and make you believe lies about yourself. This episode hopefully helps you move on from hurtful words, and gets you back on track mentally and reminds you that if anyone is in your life that makes you feel less than GOLD, they don't deserve your time. 

Did the cashier with the bad attitude ruin your morning because you let their attitude affect you? Did you try to be kind to someone despite the bad day you've had, and they didn't return the kindness? Are you exhausted from being upset over things that you can't change anymore, but still allow the scenarios to take over your thoughts? In this episode I share how important it is to remember your values when choosing friends and relationships, recognize the patterns of the people you surround yourself with and stop giving power to other people! Your cup is the most important, focus on the things that fill it!

Its inevitable that life has its ups and downs, but learning to get yourself back to a good place in life is like a super power! Don't waste precious time waiting for those low moments to pass, learn how to get yourself out of them and onto your next good thing! 

It's scary how easy it is to get into the habit of living with no purpose!! When did you stop day dreaming? When did you stop wanting more in life!? Let's get you back on track and excited for life again! Let's give your life A PURPOSE! 

My Mom and I haven't always had the best relationship and we've been through some really hard times together but, I want to give hope to you if you're struggling to see eye to eye with a parent. Join my Mom and I in this episode, as we share how our relationship started vs. where it is now! We've come a long way, and I'm so grateful to have her! 

I think pulling teeth would be easier than asking for help when we need it...whether you need to borrow money from someone, or maybe your mental health could be better and you need to see a therapist? I've never met a single person that's gotten through life without needing help in one way or another. Put your pride to rest! No one is too good for a great life, and no great life ever happened without a little help!

Have you been bitter for too long? Allowed your past to re-visit you too many times? I talk about the best habits I started forming to move on and truly leave my bitterness behind. Although healthy habits are great...True change starts with YOU. No self-help book, or youtube video about positivity can help you, unless YOU HELP YOU. I also chat about how I adapt to change, and adjust to my new sense of normalcy. Life is rarely the same for long, and it's important to learn how to make your next season in life even better than this one.

I'm an all or nothing person!! I'm either all the way in, or all the way out. If one aspect of my life is a mess, you can bet that my apartment, car, finances and eating habits are too. Telling myself "a little bit, is better than nothing" helps me get out of my own head, and helps me find balance. Not everything has to be balls to the wall ya know?! Create sustainable habits, and swap intensity for consistency!!

Bottom line, I'm terrible at letting people love me, and I'm not the best at loving other people either. In this episode I talk about some things in my past, and childhood experiences that this may have stemmed from. There's always one person in every relationship that loves a little better but, I don't want that to be the case. This will be a long journey, but i'm confident that just like anything else, the hardest part is realizing it and working on it. 

Stop making excuses and start executing those plans! (I suck at this and will wait for "the right time" and suddenly 3 years have passed lol yikes). But, don't be like me! I've broken down what I call "The 4 E's" Evaluate, Embrace, Empower and Execute. To me, these are the most important keys to consider when you're ready to take those first steps toward diving into your fullest potential. 

I think we can all agree there's a lot more reasons to be upset and unhappy nowadays. Learning how to create your own happiness is one of the most important things! Not basing your good days off of an accomplishment, but basing your good days off of the fact that you know how to have a good day even when you don't do anything!  Join me as I share how I've learned sustainable happiness! Life will knock you down, and knowing how to get yourself back up,  that's a superpower. 

Honestly, I've never met anyone more impatient than myself. When I want something, I kind of expect it to happen within a few weeks, months at the latest lol and when it doesn't turn out that way...I get discouraged and feel like that desire will never be fulfilled. But, what I'm realizing as my life progresses, is that if everything happened when I wanted them to, or when I "expected them to" my life would be a hot mess express! It's not about my timing, or your timing and ready doesn't always mean right this second, but that doesn't mean it'll never happen!
