8. Practices That Build Happiness, Gratitude & Abundance
✨ Podcast Summary
In this heartfelt episode of The Creative Abundance Project, Jolynn shares an honest update on family life, the behind-the-scenes resistance of podcasting, and the signs that kept her moving forward. Through personal stories—from marathon carpool runs to watching her kids chase dreams in running, biking, and school—Jolynn reminds us how everyday moments connect to joy and abundance.
Building on the themes of healing and choosing gratitude, she dives into wisdom from Arthur Brooks and Oprah Winfrey’s book The Art and Science of Getting Happier: Build the Life You Want. Together, they teach us that happiness isn’t a destination—it’s something we practice and cultivate daily.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why happiness is built from the “macronutrients” of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning/purpose
How gratitude rewires your brain to focus on what’s right instead of what’s wrong
Why abundance is about perspective—seeing more instead of needing more
A simple “Dreams vs. Actions” journaling exercise to align your daily habits with your deepest desires
Five practices that can help you live with greater joy, gratitude, and abundance
Jolynn also shares her personal “Best Day Walk” ritual—asking each morning “Why is today the best day of my life?”—a practice that shifts perspective, multiplies gratitude, and adds beauty to the everyday.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, notice miracles in the ordinary, and take small, intentional steps that build the abundant, joyful life you were made for.
