Introduction to the podcast and why you should listen. We are all on our own journeys here, even though others surround us we walk this path alone. Being your best self is not a concept you are taught early on; making mistaking and stumbling your way through the dark is the general way of life. All of us could use a little help along the way, a friendly stranger perhaps. I have no PhD but my mistakes have taught me more than any classroom ever could. The journey to happiness is anything but easy, you will laugh, cry, grow and somedays wish you were someone else entirely. I’m here to help lighten that load, give you a different perspective, be your personal therapist, hype man, life coach, and modern-day guru. Self-Love, Mindfulness, and Gratitude are what I have come to learn are the key foundations for happiness. Join me on this journey.The Invisible Happiness awaits ...
