Therapist Lauren Corsillo joins us for a heartful conversation about the science—and personal journey—behind happiness.
We dive into the core ideas of positive psychology, exploring what truly contributes to lasting happiness: meaningful relationships, autonomy, optimism, and staying present. Lauren dispels common myths—like the idea that happiness comes from external achievements—and offers simple, practical tools to build joy from within.
From gratitude practices to self-compassion and celebrating small victories, this episode is a reminder that happiness isn’t something we find—it’s something we cultivate.
