Relocate to Happiness

Artificial Intelligence is evolving faster than ever, but is it actually making our lives better?In this special follow-up episode of Relocate to Happiness, I welcome back Itay Adam who first joined the podcast two years ago to share his predictions about the future of AI. Now, we're revisiting those predictions to see what came true, what surprised us, and what the rapid rise of AI means for our work, relationships, and overall well-being.From everyday AI tools to the bigger questions about trust, purpose, and happiness, this conversation explores how we can embrace innovation without losing what makes us human.In This EpisodeTogether, we explore whether AI has lived up to the hype or whether we're still underestimating its potential. We revisit the predictions made two years ago, discuss the biggest surprises in AI's evolution, and examine how it's already changing the way we work, learn, communicate, and make decisions. We also dive into one of the most important questions of all: Can AI actually make us happier? Or does true happiness still depend on the very human qualities that no technology can replace? Finally, we look ahead to the next wave of AI, with bold predictions about what's coming next, and what each of us can do to prepare for the future.Listeners will discover:Which AI predictions came true, and which didn't.Whether AI is overhyped or underestimated.How AI is changing our daily lives and work.The opportunities and risks AI presents for our well-being.Practical ways to use AI intentionally without losing human connection.Bold predictions for the next two years of artificial intelligence.This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask not only "What can AI do?" but also "What kind of future do we want to create with it?

When was the last time you walked into your own home and actually felt better? Not just relieved. Not just safe. Better.Because my guests today, the two women behind ReDesign, would tell you that a room can absolutely do that for you. And if yours isn't doing it, that is not a Pinterest problem. That is a mental health problem. Marina Ehrlich and Katya Ravits are the founders of REdesign Atelier, an international design studio specializing in curated interiors, furniture production, and design-led real estate projects. Working with developers and private clients, they create spaces that combine thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of lifestyle. Their latest venture is a sculptural lighting object crafted from Portuguese marble, bridging the worlds of interior design and collectible design. The piece will be presented for the first time in Verona this September.In this episode, we will be discussing: What’s the difference between design and redesign?When a client says “I want a beautiful home,” what are they usually asking for that they don’t yet have words for?Something we can talk about people’s emotional lives just from spending time in their homesWhat is the smallest, free move they could make today that would change how their space feels.

What if the biggest threat to your longevity isn’t what you’re eating, how much you’re sleeping, or whether you’re taking the right supplements?What if it’s the fact that you’re slowly losing the ability to focus, regulate your emotions, tolerate discomfort, and do the hard things that make a healthy life possible? Because here’s the truth: longevity isn’t just about keeping your body alive longer. It’s about preserving your agency. Your attention. Your motivation. Your resilience. Your ability to make decisions that align with the life you want to live. And that’s exactly why I’m excited about today’s conversation. Most longevity discussions focus on biomarkers, blood tests, exercise protocols, and nutrition strategies. Those things matter. But there’s a question we don’t ask often enough: Why do so many people know what they should do and still struggle to do it consistently? Today’s guest, Dr. Silja Litvin is a clinical psychologist, researcher, entrepreneur, and executive advisor. She is the founder and CEO of PsycApps, creator of the award-winning emotional fitness game eQuoo, which has reached more than 500,000 users worldwide and was featured on the NHS Apps Library. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology and experience spanning healthcare, research, and venture-backed leadership, Silja works at the intersection of resilience, mental health, technology, and human performance. She has partnered with organizations including the NHS, Unilever, Bosch, Mental Health America, UCL, LMU Munich, and the Resilience Research Centre. Drawing on both clinical expertise and more than a decade as a CEO, she advises founders, executives, and boards on resilience, leadership, emotional regulation, and navigating complexity under pressure. Silja is also the co-founder of the Healthy Digital Childhood Alliance, a parent-led initiative promoting science-based approaches to children's digital wellbeing.. We’re talking about why your environment is often more powerful than your willpower. How modern technology is rewiring reward systems through endless novelty and low-effort stimulation. The difference between cheap dopamine and earned dopamine. Why a little-known part of the brain called the mid-cingulate cortex may hold important clues about resilience and healthy ageing. And how families can create environments that protect attention, sleep, autonomy, and mental health in a world designed to steal all four. Most importantly, we’re exploring a new way to think about longevity. Not as the pursuit of living longer at all costs. But as the pursuit of staying capable—capable of focusing, adapting, growing, connecting, and doing meaningful things for as many years as possible. If you’ve ever wondered why healthy habits feel harder than they should, why your attention feels fragmented, or how to build a life that supports both your health span and your happiness, this conversation is for you.

What happens to human happiness when machines get smarter than us? This week on Relocate to Happiness, we sit down with Sean Caetano Martin, an AI expert and coder, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what AI is doing to our minds, our work, and our sense of meaning.AI is no longer a distant future, it's writing our emails, scheduling our days, and increasingly, listening to our problems. But is it actually making us happier? In this episode, Sean takes us inside the mind of someone who builds this technology for a living. We talk about loneliness in the age of chatbots, what only humans can do, how to set healthy boundaries with our tools, and what happiness even means to a person who spends their days writing code. It's not a hype episode. It's not a doom episode. It's a real conversation about being human in a world that's changing fast.In this episode, we cover:- Why an AI expert chose this field- The surprising emotional side of coding- Whether AI is genuinely improving our daily lives or just speeding them up- The honest truth about AI chatbots replacing therapists and friends- How to protect your mental health in a world of constant tech- What only humans can do, and why that matters more than everAbout the guest:Sean Caetano Martin is a remote AI product and full-stack systems engineer with 15+ years of experience building products from startup MVPs to enterprise-scale platforms. Most recently at rumi.ai, he helped build AI meeting intelligence features, including automated meeting bots, transcription, summarization, semantic search, and agentic UI workflows. He also works on open-source AI-agent tools like mini-coder, and others.

Today, we’re talking about motherhood and the myths that quietly shape how women feel about themselves every single day. Because somewhere along the way, we were sold this impossible idea that a good mother is endlessly patient, deeply fulfilled, naturally selfless, emotionally available 24/7, organized, grateful, calm… and somehow still successful, attractive, and happy. And if you’re struggling? You think you’re the problem. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if the problem is the story? The truth is, motherhood can be beautiful and brutal. Joyful and lonely. Meaningful and overwhelming — sometimes all before 9 a.m. And yet so many women feel ashamed to say that out loud. In this episode, we’re unpacking the myths about mothers, about children, about happiness, sacrifice, guilt, identity, and what it really means to be a ‘good mom.’ Because I think a lot of women aren’t failing motherhood. I think they’re drowning under expectations no human being was ever supposed to carry alone. So if you’ve ever felt guilty… exhausted…resentful… lost…or like you love your children deeply but miss yourself too… We will be discussing: What are the biggest myths about motherhood that make women feel inadequate or unhappy? Why do so many mothers feel like they’re failing, even when they’re doing so much right? What does “good enough parenting” really mean, and why is that idea so important?

My guest today, Alenka Zakojč experiences herself in a way that is entirely her own, which has always set her apart. She has a strong connection with her body and follows intuition more than ideas.She works with people through direct presence and awareness of the nervous system, focusing on recognizing the potential that is already here rather than “working on” the self. In sessions, she meets a person in the present moment and shows how their system is functioning right now, which often brings clear recognition and naturally softens established patterns.Through the experience of the meeting, it becomes evident that there is no real separation between us; participants often describe it as similar to a psychedelic state, where identity softens or dissolves, but it happens through pure presence with open eyes. She sees life as a simple, dynamic process and works in a direct, light, and often playful way, inviting people to recognize that nothing is missing, only to notice the potential that is already here.

Some of the hardest parts of parenting are the parts nobody really prepares you for.Not the schedules. Not the lunchboxes. Not the logistics.I’m talking about the inner stuff. The voice in your head that says you’re not doing enough. The pressure to get it right. The comparison. The guilt. The feeling that somehow everyone else got the manual… and you didn’t. Because parenting doesn’t just ask you to raise a child. It asks you to meet yourself.It brings up your fears. Your doubts. Your wounds. Your inner child. And all the parts of you that still wonder, “Am I enough?” And here’s the truth: so many adults are out here trying to raise emotionally healthy children while still learning how to become emotionally healthy themselves. That’s not failure. That’s being human.So today, we’re talking about what it really means to parent from a place of awareness instead of shame. How imposter syndrome shows up in parenting. Why comparison keeps so many of us stuck. How healing our inner world changes the way we show up for our kids. And why connection, compassion, and courage matter so much more than perfection ever will.Because you do not have to be a perfect parent to be a powerful one.And maybe happiness doesn’t come from becoming someone else… maybe it comes from finally meeting yourself with honesty, dignity, and grace..My guest today is May Kassem, MA is a Psychological Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across diverse cultural and clinical settings worldwide. She earned her Master’s Degree in Counseling from Webster University in Geneva, Switzerland, and has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence.May’s work is grounded in a human-centered philosophy, integrating Adlerian psychology and mindfulness-based practices.

The internet has turned wellbeing into a full-time job.One minute it’s: track your sleep, track your steps, track your glucose, track your HRV. Then it’s: cold plunge, sauna, red light, supplements, breathing protocols, fasting windows, and don’t forget, your mindset has to be perfect too.And the question is… is that wellbeing? Or is that just a new way to be stressed?So today we’re going to talk about biohacking — but we’re going to talk about it like grown-ups. Not like hype. Not like trends. Not like you’re failing if you’re not doing it all.My guest is Roy Eden, and he’s someone who lives in the world of high performance. He has what he calls the Ironmind Code, and whether you’re an athlete or not, this is really about something bigger: how do you build discipline, recovery, and resilience in a way that supports your happiness — not replaces it?In this conversation, we’re going to get into the real stuff:· What biohacking actually means when you’re not trying to win the internet.· The habits that give you the biggest return — sleep, stress, focus, recovery.· And the difference between optimizing because you love your life… versus optimizing because you don’t feel safe unless you’re in control.

Especially as moms, leaders, creatives, and partners.

When did motherhood become something we’re supposed to survive… instead of something we’re allowed to enjoy?Because here’s the truth no one says out loud: you can love your kids and feel overwhelmed. You can be grateful and want more. And happiness? It doesn’t disappear when you become a mother, but it does change, and nobody hands you the manual.Today on Relocate to Happiness, we’re having a real, honest, no-filter conversation about happiness and motherhood, what it looks like, what gets in the way, and how women can stop postponing their joy for ‘someday.’ My guest today is Tania Timkova, a life and leadership coach, happiness trainer and facilitator. Mom of one, lover of life.This episode is for every mother who’s ever asked herself: ‘Is this it?’And for every woman who’s ready to choose happiness, without guilt.

What if I told you there is one thing you could start doing today… One thing that can help you release stress, calm your mind, and get you out of that overwhelmed, burnt-out headspace we all know too well? And what if I told you that same thing could strengthen your body, boost your energy, improve your focus, and genuinely elevate every aspect of your wellbeing? Well, it exists. It’s real. And it has changed millions of lives. It’s called yoga. And today, on Relocate to Happiness, we’re diving into how this simple, accessible practice can quite literally reshape the way you live your life. My guest, Tania Kazi, is a powerful force in the wellbeing world, a yoga teacher whose work is helping people reconnect, rebuild, and rise. She’s also the creator of a transformational program called Spire Yoga, designed to guide you back to your center, your strength, and your peace.

Tania Kazi has been a student of a Positive Psychology when Dr. Tal Ben Shahar was teaching at Harvard University. She is now studying the science of Happiness Studies with him as a masters student.

Finland has been named the happiest country in the world for eight years in a row, according to the World Happiness Report, which is published annually by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network.But here’s the interesting part, when we talk about “happiness” in this context, it’s not just about good vibes or smiling selfies. The rankings are based on something much deeper — the science of subjective well-being, pulled from Gallup’s World Poll, which surveys people in over 150 countries.So how does it actually work?Gallup asks people a series of life evaluation questions. One of the most important is called the Cantril Ladder question:“Imagine a ladder with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you, and the bottom represents the worst possible life. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?”Simple, but powerful.Each country's score is then calculated based on how their people, on average, rate their own lives on that ladder. But the rankings go even further by looking at six key factors that explain the variations in happiness between countries:GDP per capita – Economic strength and income.Social support – Having someone to count on in times of trouble.Healthy life expectancy – Are people living longer and healthier?Freedom to make life choices – Feeling free to live life your way.Generosity – Are people willing to help others or donate to causes?Perceptions of corruption – Trust in public institutions.Each of these is used to explain why certain countries consistently perform well.So yes — Finland scores highly on economic stability, healthcare, and social support. But it really shines when it comes to trust, freedom, and a shared sense of fairness. Finns believe that their systems work. They believe in each other. And that belief creates a sense of security that’s hard to measure — but deeply felt.So what do the numbers say? Finland scored 7.7 out of 10 on the latest report. Denmark followed close behind at 7.6, and Iceland at 7.5. 🇺🇸 The United States, for comparison, came in at rank 23 with a score of 6.9. The global average sits around 5.5.And here’s what’s interesting — Finland’s edge isn’t just wealth. It’s trust.A whopping 87% of Finns say they trust their fellow citizens. Compare that to about 40% in the U.S. On top of that, Finland ranks incredibly high in low corruption, freedom to choose one’s path, and accessible, high-quality healthcare and education — both of which are free.In other words, people in Finland may not smile all the time — but they sleep well, trust their neighbors, and know that the system around them works. That’s a very different flavor of happiness — one rooted in security, dignity, and shared responsibility.It’s not about being “happy” every moment — it’s about knowing life is okay, even when it’s not easy. And that’s what keeps Finland on top.

All the way from Miami, I have a special guest – Tami Muller. Tami is a happiness coach, a positive psychology specialist and a bestseller author. Her book “How to be on a diet for 45 years and never be thin” is a best seller in 3 categories on Amazon. But we won't be talking about diet but about happiness. Some beautiful paragraphs from her book:“Each of us has our own 20 pounds” – the one thing we truly and sincerely believe stands between us and pure happiness.
