Just a little reminder to enjoy the holiday season without worrying about nonsense like what other people may think or if everything is perfect. Focus on what aligns with your values and let the rest go. Choose to bask in the magic of the season and you'll be choosing happiness.

Look for the miracles! This Thanksgiving I encourage you to look for the miracles in your life. They happen every day, some big, some small, and they are all cause for celebration and gratitude.

Join me as we kick off the Choose Happiness Don’t Give Up! Interview series. You will be inspired, encouraged, and learn tactical tools for achieving our goals from Henry Rosendale. Henry lost 110 pounds in 15 months and has terrific advice for overcoming roadblocks, handling plateaus, breaking difficult long-term objectives into manageable bite-sized chunks, and staying positive throughout it all. Henry makes us feel like we can accomplish anything we set our minds to, because we can!

Join me for an insightful and delightful interview with musical theater actress Jen Aylsworth. She has stellar advice for all of us when it comes to the choices we make every day, and how an attitude of gratitude is really the key to a happy life. Her joy and joie de vivre shine through the screen and remind us that we are all “awesome worth” just like her.

Join me for the latest episode of the Choose Happiness Powerful Women Interview Series, where I had the privilege to talk with Dr. Jerry Anderson, principal of Bloom High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois. She shares some secrets of her phenomenal success including beginning each day focused on possibility, the importance of taking time to stop and breathe when we need to, and how we should never give our power away to anyone else for any reason. She gives spectacular advice on how she makes choosing happiness a priority in her life, and how she is taking the gifts of the past year into a new chapter for her, her family, and her tremendously distinguished and successful career.

Join me for inspiration, insightfulness, and a ton of laughs with Trina Tjersland, my guest for the latest episode of the Choose Happiness Powerful Women Series. She shares the importance of pausing to figure out what we really want in life, how we can pivot to find an adjacent and still satisfying career, and how it’s good to “re-carbonate” ourselves when necessary. A beautiful combination of motivational insights and pure joy; I know you will enjoy our talk as much as I did.

Join me for an inspirational and encouraging conversation with the brilliant Rabbi Adena Blum. She shares her journey of following her dream while navigating challenges along the way, as well as how she successfully balances a 24/7 job with raising her family and remaining fully present in every moment. I had a huge “a-ha” moment myself about creating a “cabinet community” for our own support network and I know you will learn a lot from this powerful woman, just as I did.
