Happiness. Specifically, life happiness. Or being happy in life. Or saying one's life is happy. In some instances, some of us can answer this easily and without hesitation. But in other instances, it's more nuanced. Join CH this week as she discusses how approaching happiness doesn't always have to be a large, lifelong, philosophical question. Inspired by listening to a recent interview with one of her faves, actress Jodie Whittaker, CH reflects on what it means to find happiness in simple, everyday moments rather than as a lifelong destination or philosophical life goal. At the end of the day, it can be about creating small spaces of joy and instant connection that, over time, weave happiness through the tapestry of our lives - which is especially important in times of stress, anxiety, challenge or struggle.

Show Notes

• Inspiration for our episode came from an interview that CH listened to with actress Jodie Whittaker. It can be found out on Big Finish Productions YouTube channel. The question of "What is your idea of happiness?" and Jodie's response to this question begins at around the 18:30 mark in the video.
  
  
  
  • Additional note: CH mentions this quote from Jodie: "It's ok to be wrong, it's ok to be scared, it's ok to not know. But above all do not lose hope." It comes from her 2020 Salon Talks Interview.
