What is Happiness?
If you identify as a feminist, you've probably heard the stereotypes: we're "angry", "too serious", and "can't take a (typically sexist) joke". While being a feminist does mean caring about serious issues, another crucial part of taking your brain back from the patriarchy is learning... how to be happy, too. But what does that even mean and how do we do it?! If the idea of being happy confuses you, or you're not even sure if you SHOULD be happy, click play because I'm breaking it all down in this episode.

Mind Blowing, for real
I consider myself an intelligent and well-rounded person. I've been successful in many things and am reasonably well-educated with a Master's Degree.
I stumbled upon this podcast, honestly not sure how, but I had been listening to a variety of things as I've gone through quite a difficult time in my life (end of a 10-year marriage being a large part) and was feeling very stuck and unhappy. Over a year of feeling between not great and really awful.
I listened to maybe 4 episodes, and Kara and her program resonated immediately more than any (many very good!) others I had listened to. I then went to the website, and signed up immediately. I've been a member about 3 weeks now and I have flipped a switch, with any credit that isn't mine going to Kara. It's so funny... now when I hear Kara say she wants listeners to blow their own minds, I know what she means! I've been keeping track of my specific 'learning' and have asterisks beside many of them with MIND BLOWING MOMENT. I've never, in my almost 50 years, heard this kind of information and although I kind of want to think negatively about that, like I've wasted so many years of my life suffering under a mismanaged mind...actually I can even think that and not get sunk into it! ... I am just super excited about where this will take me! This girl has got it right, and I found her, allelujia!!!
Best value of anything I've bought probably ever lol but certainly in the past year as I threw money at everything I thought would make me feel better.
