Happiness isn't humanity's default state. Some of us are wired differently, we require active effort to maintain emotional well-being.
Living with a happiness deficit feels isolating, especially when surrounded by naturally content people. As a psychologist I've discovered effective strategies for managing this unique brain type.
If you're constantly struggling to feel happy despite having "nothing wrong," your brain might be wired like mine - and I'll show you exactly how to work with it, not against it.

How you sleep matters. The way you feel and function during the day is a direct reflection of both the quantity and quality of your sleep.
Somnee can help you get better sleep with just 15 minutes a night. Check out the Somnee Sleep headband I use.
It's not just about how to get to sleep fast, but how to sleep better at night naturally.
And if you have 1 or more chronic mental health conditions (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD), the stakes are higher for you to hit all the needed stages of sleep - getting the benefit of the full sleep cycle.

Grief doesn't alway involve loss because of death. It's a natural response to any significant loss in life. In fact, grieving the living can be even more challenging than mourning the dead.
Breakups, estranged family members, and ended friendships can leave us devastated. These losses often lack closure and breed guilt, making the healing process complex and drawn out.
In this episode, I share my personal experience with grief and offer practical steps to cope. You'll learn how to process your emotions and reclaim your life after losing someone who's still alive.

Many of the conventional mental health treatments are failing us. Our mainstream options only work for about half of those seeking help, leaving many to suffer in silence.
Therapy and medication aren't enough. We need more innovative solutions, especially for those battling treatment-resistant depression and anxiety.
In this episode, I explore alternate treatments depression like TMS, ketamine therapy, ECT, and microdosing. I'll break down how they work, their effectiveness, and potential side effects.
