Why do so many of us chase happiness only to feel like we’re living under constant storm clouds?
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the lies we tell ourselves about happiness, success, and what’s really holding us back. From the addictions we don’t talk about—like chronic stress, negativity, and perfectionism—to the endless “what ifs” that steal our peace, we’ll uncover why fulfillment feels out of reach and how to shift that story.
You’ll learn:
Why 91% of what you worry about never comes true (and how to stop living in the other 9%).
How hedonic chasing (“keeping up with the Joneses”) robs us of joy.
The hidden addictions that block happiness—and how to spot them in your own life.
The power of self-audit thinking to instantly reframe your stress.
Why gratitude and intentional challenges are the real keys to fulfillment.
Happiness isn’t about perfection or possessions—it’s about perspective. When you choose ownership over drama and growth over comfort, you open the door to a more joyful, meaningful life.
Quote from this episode:
"The man who rows the boat doesn’t have time to rock it."
If you’re tired of living like every day is a storm, tune in—this episode will help you rewrite your story and create the happiness you’ve been chasing.
