Last week we talked about how you can be happy without having a boyfriend. This week a few members of the Council get together to discuss the importance of being happy for others. We also talk about why it can be hard to be happy for others when good things happen for them in their lives.
McKenzee and Chantel share some moments that they have experienced recently where it was difficult for them to choose to be happy for the other person. One thing that is important that is pointed out in today's podcast is that it is OK to be disappointed and still be happy for the other person.
Send us your stories of when someone that you know experienced success and you were really happy for them.

Being Happy For Other People

Mat Edvik and Summer Morris discuss ways to help teenage girls increase their self-esteem and the level of happiness they are experiencing.

"Mat Edvik has helped me overcome many personal issues over the time I've known him. He has known me at my weakest, most vulnerable state and has been extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I could come to him with anything, whether it be regarding my issues with depression, finding a reason to live, and finding purpose in life. He helped me discover that I was valueable and deserved to live an incredible life."
