EP 157: Cultivating Contentment w/ Lisa Chapin - Sober Baddies

Sober Baddies - Cultivating Contentment with Lisa Chapin   Guest hosts Sara Malloy and Elaine Skylar Neal talk with Lisa Chapin, a Licensed Addiction & Professional Counselor, about chasing happiness and cultivating contentment in everyday life.    Sometimes happiness can feel like a far-off and unattainable place, and we can fall into a trap of thinking, "I'll be happy when THIS ONE THING occurs." Except when we get this one thing, it doesn't make us any happier. Why is this?    Lisa Chapin breaks this down for us, taking us back to the roots of where these notions come from, and how living in a constant state of happiness isn't an ideal we should be striving for.     About Lisa Chapin:   Lisa Chapin is a Licensed Addiction & Professional Counselor (LAC, LPC) who completed her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at the University of Colorado at Denver.  She is a contributing editor to Marriage.com and a provider for the Give An Hour organization which services the military and veteran community.  Her professional experience includes military intelligence, corporate business management, and organizational change and coaching.
