Gretchen’s cohost and guinea pig is her younger sister, Elizabeth Craft, a TV writer and producer living in Los Angeles, who (lovingly) refers to Gretchen as her happiness bully. Part of the Cadence13 Network.

Customer Reviews
This podcast is a staple
I’ve been listening for over a year and it’s my go to for multi tasking.
My Favourite!
Happier with Gretchen Rubin and More Happier ….
Are my favourite podcasts I can’t wait for them to come out and sometimes I savour them for later! I am a very disorganized scattered person but I seem to get little bits of wisdom lots of hacks and just a calm feeling when I listen to this podcast! I also love the banter between the two sisters!
They complement each other so nicely and I like to get a glimpse into each of their very different lives!
Personally I find I am a lot happier and get a lot more done while I’m listening to a podcast! Especially this one!
Too Much Cross Promotion and Recycling
This used to be one of my favourites but it’s filled with weekly promo for Gretchen’s books, Liz’s tv show, their other podcasts, and let me not forget the app. Come on! It’s a 30-minute podcast! They regurgitate old content and have too many “best of” and “updates” episodes. Time to come up with new content and time for this listener to move on. Thanks for the original content.
