I have known Dr. Gillian Mandich for years, so I am just thrilled to have her on Spirit Moves Podcast. Gillian has her Ph.D. in Health Sciences and spent over a decade researching happiness and health. She is known as the "happiness expert" and is literally the go-to person for talk shows, newsrooms, and corporations to talk about happiness and mental health.  Gillian has done two TED X Talks and continues to research and give input on concrete ways to bring happiness into your life. What I appreciate about Gillian is her capacity to stay grounded, humble, and appreciative of all of life.

In this episode, we discuss:

* The power of happiness

* How happiness research has impacted Gillian's life

* Full spectrum of emotions

* Definition of happiness

* Social media, balance, and happiness

* The dark side of happiness

* Mental health and happiness

* Two exercises you can implement TODAY to cultivate more happiness in your life
