Unreasonably happy Elise Aabakken Do you sometimes feel like you're crossing ALL the things off ALL the lists, but can't seem to answer the question "Are you happy?" with an honest "Yes"? I don't know what a happy life looks like to you, but I think you do. Join me on the quest for tiny joys, and get enthusiastic encouragement to notice what actually makes you feel happy and wonderfully alive, so you can live a life you've decided on, not one chasing what you think you "should". Hosted by Elise Aabakken, your fellow silly lovely multi-passionate human, theatre-improving her way through life with curiosity, joy and kindness. Average But Owning It Haley and Maddie Listener Guide: - ICYWW will always be true crime cases and stands for "Incase you weren't wondering" - TTFI will always be based around less structured, conversational topics and stands for "Table Talks for Idiots" (us not you) Maddie doesn't have a hobby. Haley has too many, and has taken it upon herself to get Maddie unreasonably hooked on something-- anything. (true crime, social causes, the Kennedys, to name a few). Post-college graduation is primetime for a quarter-life crisis and some soul searching: on Average but Owning it, Maddie and Haley are going to do a little bit of both.
