What if the reason you’re not happier… is because you’re chasing happiness like it’s the starting line — not the result? In this episode, I sit down with Lloyd (author + high performer) for a conversation that goes way deeper than the usual “do this habit, feel better” advice. We talk about the uncomfortable truth that some people unconsciously pay to stay the victim, because it becomes an identity… and identities can be addictive. Then we flip the whole happiness conversation on its head: Ha...
This isn’t a “sit back and listen” episode. This is a hands-on, action-packed planning workshop designed to help you map out your most successful, productive, and intentional 2026 — starting with Q1. Grab your workbook, get your pen and paper ready, and give yourself the space to actually think (not just react to life). Inside this workshop, I take you through the exact process I’ve refined since 2019 — the same framework I use with my clients and at retreats — to help you turn big dreams int...
What if happiness isn’t something you chase… but something you build? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, and new dad Morgan T. Nelson for one of the most honest, refreshing conversations we’ve had on the 30 Days to Happiness Podcast.

Inside the episode, Morgan shares: ✨ The real difference...

Chris shares openly about his own healing journey: brea...
In today’s episode of the 30 Days to Happiness Podcast, we’re diving deep into something most people never think about — joy as a discipline, not a feeling. If happiness is a moment, joy is a muscle. And just like any muscle, it grows through intentional practice. In this solo episode, Holly unpacks The Seven Disciplines of Joy — a blend of philosophy, neuroscience, faith, storytelling, and practical, everyday habits that shape a life that feels grounded, peaceful, and unshakeable. You’ll lea...
Most people think success is about doing more. Working harder. Moving faster. Pushing to the end of the year before finally taking a breath.

We love control. We love our plans, our routines, and the feeling that we’ve got everything handled. But here’s the hard truth: control is an illusion. In this episode of the 30 Days to Happiness Podcast, I unpack why clinging so tightly to outcomes often robs us of joy — and why letting go may be the key to more peace, purpose, and presence in your life.
