We’ve been taught to believe happiness comes after the grind, after the goal, the promotion, the healed version of ourselves.

But what if happiness isn’t excitement…
What if it’s simply when your inner world stops fighting your outer reality?

In this episode, we talk about postponing joy, living on emotional credit, and why being present matters just as much as being ambitious. From a funny MON story to the overflowing cup lesson, reflections from The Art of Happiness, and a real conversation about isolation, time, and God, this episode is an invitation to stop preparing to live and start living now.
