Paula Burrows is a HUGE fan of Gretchen Rubin’s work, and is finally embarking on her very own year-long focus on happiness à la The Happiness Experience. Joining Paula is her (somewhat reluctant) pal, Caitlin McCarthy. In this very first episode of Project Happy, get to know your hosts as they get to know themselves better. Find out what words they’ve chosen as themes for the year, how they plan to hold themselves accountable, and a few things they tried to do every single day in January in hopes of greater happiness.

Curious about how to hold yourself accountable? Take the Four Tendencies Quiz (link to https://gretchenrubin.com/2015/01/ta-da-the-launch-of-my-quiz-on-the-four-tendencies-learn-about-yourself/) to find out what strategy might work best for you.

Caitlin mentioned her bomb.com naturopath, Dr. Matthew Nagra. You can follow him on Instagram here (link to @dr.matthewnagra), and book an appointment with him at Tonume Integrated Health (link to tonume.janeapp.com)

If you’re looking for a great memoir, check out Carmen Aguirre’s Mexican Hooker #1. Aguirre is also the author of another great memoir called Something Fierce, which was the winner of CBC’s Canada Reads 2012. You can order both at Pulp Fiction Books in Vancouver. It’s available on the Big A, but try your local bookseller first!
