“If happiness is getting what we want, contentment is wanting what we have.” This is the profound lesson in today’s episode with guest Niro Feliciano, psychotherapist and author of This Book Won’t Make You Happy, Eight Keys to Finding True Contentment. She urges us to find joy in the everyday moments-even with ambitious plans and exciting achievements-because “life happens between the goal posts.” As a mom of 4 kids, Niro gets it. She faces the same juggle we do every day and offers tactical advice for handling it all:
*understanding the difference between happiness and contentment
*how to explain prioritizing another child, a career, or yourself in a way kids can understand
*asking the question “Where am I not replaceable?”
*staying curious about our partners to strengthen this pivotal relationship
*doubling down on our own sleep, exercise, and self-care when supporting our children through anxiety and other challenges
