In this powerful podcast episode, we explore the biggest myths and misunderstandings about happiness, emotional wellbeing, and the inner work required to live a truly fulfilled life. Most of us are taught to chase happiness, avoid pain, and fix sadness, but what if that entire framework is wrong? This episode unpacks why chasing happiness can become a trap, how grief and depression are nonlinear, and why emotional intelligence is key to lasting peace.
Lenore shares deep insights into emotional language, perception vs. reality, and the concept of human flourishing. From the idea of inviting your demons for tea to understanding emotions as experiences (not identity), you’ll learn why lasting joy and clarity come from within, not external validation.
In This Episode, Expect to Learn:
- Why the biggest lies about happiness are keeping you stuck
- The emotional trap of chasing happiness as a form of avoidance
- How to reframe your perception of grief, depression, and anger
- What it means to flourish emotionally, even when you're sad
- The difference between validation and true self-worth
