In this podcast episode, I discuss my belief that happiness is found in the little moments throughout life, rather than in achieving big goals or milestones. I argue that we live in a constant state of contentment, and it's important to recognize and appreciate the small joys in our everyday experiences.

I also explain the four levels of happiness, which include pleasure, passion, purpose, and meaning. Pleasure refers to the immediate gratification of our desires, while passion involves pursuing activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. Purpose is the sense of meaning we derive from contributing to something larger than ourselves, and meaning is the deeper understanding we gain from reflecting on our experiences and connecting with others.

Additionally, I discuss the five elements of well-being, which include positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. I explain how each of these elements contributes to our overall well-being and happiness, and provide tips for cultivating each one in our daily lives.

Overall, this podcast encourages listeners to find happiness in the present moment and to appreciate the small joys in life, while also striving for greater fulfillment and purpose through meaningful connections and pursuits.

The podcast episode explores the beginning stages of empty nesting and the transition to being a parent to adult children.

I explain that the empty nest stage can bring up a range of emotions, including sadness, loneliness, and excitement. Also, the issues it causes if other siblings are home. I suggest that parents take time to reflect on their feelings and begin to re-evaluate their priorities and goals.

As children become adults, the dynamic between parent and child changes. I encourage parents to shift their focus from providing guidance to offering support and encouragement. I stress the importance of maintaining open communication and boundaries, as well as respecting their adult child's autonomy.

The podcast also discusses some of the challenges that may arise during this transition, such as letting go of control and accepting that adult children may make different choices than their parents would. I offer tips for handling these challenges, such as practicing mindfulness, seeking support from friends or a therapist, and reframing negative thoughts.

Overall, the podcast emphasizes the importance of embracing this new phase of parenting and finding ways to make it fulfilling and rewarding.
