  • Doing What You Love

    Did you know that 50% of people are unhappy in their jobs? Do you find fulfillment in the work you do or are you one of these people? 


    In this episode, the Fab 5 is talking about the importance of doing what you love for work. There can be pressures from the people in our life to stay in roles we don’t like whether it is for pay, status, or benefits.

Throughout this episode, we talk about the reasons people stay in roles that make them unhappy, if our previous work roles brought us joy, what will help move you towards something that you will love, and more.

  • Raise Your Happiness Quotient

    How do you define happiness in your life? While you may think happiness means being ‘smiley’ or giddy all day long, it’s actually about feeling content and satisfied within your life. 


    In this episode, the Fab 5 are talking about raising your happiness quotient. Most people who define happiness as being over-positive and always in a good mood tend to avoid coming to terms with their true feelings, which is not true happiness. It’s not always about feeling happy, it’s about allowing yourself to find out what happiness is for you. We have control over our happiness and it’s time you give ourselves some grace to feel all of our feelings and choose to be happy. 


    Tune in to learn what happiness means to each of us, how we get it and maintain it, and most importantly, how we can spread it. 


    In This Episode You Will Learn

  • Let It Go

    What do you need to let go in order to thrive in 2021?
