When Do We Get To Be Happy?

As I prepare for my first TEDx talk this Saturday, I've been revisiting some of my podcast episodes for inspiration. Yes, I listen to my podcast too! One episode from last year really resonated with me, where I explored a powerful quote by Jenifer Lewis: "We need to be happy on the way to happy. You carry yourself wherever you go." Jenifer reminds us that true joy and peace can't be sustained if we rely solely on the external world to hold us together. Instead, we must cultivate happiness and gratitude within ourselves, both during good times and when faced with challenges. This episode moved me so deeply that I felt compelled to share it again. Whether you're on a journey of personal growth or simply seeking a moment of peace, this podcast offers valuable insights to help you find joy and contentment at every step of your path.
