In this episode of The Doula Johanna Podcast, we explore the often-overlooked power of contentment — and why it may be a more sustainable, grounding goal than the constant pursuit of happiness. Inspired by Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project, the Wheel of Life self-reflection tool, and lessons from Master Shi Heng Yi, Johanna shares a personal story of a chaotic, beautiful day that reminded her what truly matters.

We talk about small mindset shifts that can help you stay present, embrace the messiness of everyday life, and find joy in the ordinary. If you're a mother, creative, or caregiver who feels overwhelmed or stretched thin, this episode is your reminder that contentment is available right now, not someday in the future.
