What does it mean to live a bigger, happier life... one that is truly your own?

In this inspiring episode, Estelle is joined by the brilliant Gretchen Rubin, best-selling author, thought leader, and creator of The Happiness Project. Together they explore how we can define happiness for ourselves, embrace our uniqueness, and find belonging without abandoning who we truly are.

Gretchen shares her wisdom on the creative process, why aphorisms hold such power, and how the right words at the right time can shift everything. They dive into what it means to choose the “bigger life,” how to meet ourselves with compassion, and why work is the play of adulthood.

This is a soulful conversation about identity, creativity, and the courage to beat to the rhythm of your own drum, even while seeking your tribe.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ Why we yearn for happiness & how to define it on your own terms

✨ Belonging vs. fitting in: how to honour your voice in a noisy world

✨ Meeting yourself & others with compassion (especially in chaos)

✨ How to make hard decisions by choosing “the bigger life”

“Sometimes one line is enough to change everything.” – Gretchen Rubin
