Have you ever wondered what truly makes you happy?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the topic of happiness with Christine Michaelis, a Marketing and Creative Startup Coach. After facing a health scare, Christine found herself reassessing what mattered most in her life, which led her to develop her unique "SMILE" happiness formula.

Together, we unpacked the nuances between happiness and joy, discussed the significance of being present in the moment, and examined how gratitude, acts of kindness, and nurturing social ties can enhance our overall happiness. Our conversation was a heartfelt reminder of the importance of understanding our own happiness and taking intentional steps towards a life that is both balanced and rich with fulfillment. Join in on our conversation to hear more about:

• Pursuit of happiness and its impact on reprioritizing life
• Importance of understanding happiness and role of mindfulness
• Christine's happiness formula "SMILE"
• Differentiating between happiness and joy
• Impact of gratitude, kindness, and social connections on happiness
• Strategies to enhance overall well-being and happiness

Remember, happiness is not just a fleeting emotion; it's a state of being that we can cultivate and grow within our lives. Tune in to this enlightening conversation and discover how you can infuse more happiness into your daily routine.
