Description

Today’s episode is all about happiness - what it truly means, where we find it, and whether it’s something we can ever fully hold onto.
We’ll get into the topic of money versus experiences, the balance between personal achievements and shared moments, and whether chasing happiness as a final goal is a mistake.
I’ll also share my own thoughts on what brings me happiness, from purpose and self-care to life’s little joys - like a warm cup of tea on a stormy day or the smell of fresh bread from a bakery.
If you’ve ever wondered what happiness really is, or if you’ve questioned whether it’s something we should chase at all, this episode is for you..

Vocabulary: Abstract Concepts & Feelings, Money & Success, Wealth, Financial stability, and Personal Achievement, Time & Change, Social & Human Connection
Grammar: Relative Clauses, Passive Voice, Comparatives and Superlatives, Conditionals
