Is happiness the ultimate goal in life? Or is there something deeper that sustains us through challenges?

In this episode, I sit down with Dylan Phaneuf, a fitness and mindset coach, to break down the myths of happiness and why purpose and meaning are the true keys to long-term fulfillment. We discuss the psychology of happiness, the importance of delayed gratification, and how self-limiting beliefs can hold you back from the life you want.

Dylan shares practical strategies to help you:

• Shift your mindset from fleeting happiness to lasting fulfillment
• Raise your personal standards for success
• Build meaningful connections and a strong community

If you’ve ever felt like happiness is slipping through your fingers, this episode will help you redefine your goals and create a more fulfilling life.
