Welcome to the very first long-form episode of My Happy Ass Life! Today, I'm excited to share this journey of growth in mind, body, and spirit. In this debut episode, I discuss why and how we’re moving from daily affirmations to this extended podcast format. We explore how life's transitions call for changes in our routines and how stepping out of the comfort zone leads to more profound transformation.
I share stories from my life, from standing in the bathtub at age six giving motivational speeches (inspired by Prowl Shampoo, no less!) to finding solace in affirmations as a child growing up in an alcoholic home. We also tackle some big concepts—like the transformative power of forgiveness, gratitude, and learning to let go of limiting beliefs that hold us back. Through humor, vulnerability, and honesty, this episode is about understanding how every moment, even the challenging ones, can shape us into our happiest selves.
We also discuss why words matter. Words have the power to build, to heal, and to inspire. Whether it’s "praise at the pump" while filling up on gas or choosing affirmations that nurture our spirits, this episode reminds us all that the narratives we create for ourselves can shape our reality.
