Friends! We are kicking off our 5 day Happiness Challenge with the one and only, Jessica Lyonford! 

In this episode, I’m joined by Jessica Lyonford, founder of Project More Happy and bestselling author of The Happy Leader Playbook. We talk about what happiness really is (hint: it’s not just feeling good all the time), how to rewire your brain with simple daily practices, and why one-size-fits-all routines aren’t the answer.

Jessica breaks down her 8 Pillars of Happiness—from curiosity to confidence—and shares a powerful reframe: happiness is a skill, not a destination. You'll learn how to create more joy using intentional, doable actions (no green juice or 5 AM ice baths required).

🧠 Learn how the four brain chemicals (dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin) actually work
📓 Steal her 10-minute-a-day practice that touches all 8 happiness pillars

Today’s Happiness Challenge: schedule 10 minutes of joy, just for you
