In this episode, I explore the surprising reasons we sometimes hold ourselves back from happiness—like feeling guilty when others are struggling or believing unhappiness keeps us safe. I share my own experiences, including how I’ve learned to give myself permission to be happy, even when my child is struggling. I also offer three powerful shifts to help us embrace happiness as a source of energy, connection, and strength. Happiness isn’t just for us—it helps us show up better for others, too.
In this episode:
✅ Why it can be hard to feel happy when people we love are struggling
✅ Three surprising reasons we hold ourselves back from joy—and how to challenge them
✅ Practical ways to embrace happiness as a source of energy, resilience, and connection
