The Happiness Contribution™ Show Rosaria Cirillo, Wow Now

Welcome to “The Happiness Contribution™ Show!

Hosted by Rosaria Cirillo (Happiness Change Catalyst, Certified Happiness Trainer, Customer Experience Professional, and
Laughter Yoga Teacher), in “The Happiness Contribution™ Show” we talk with remarkable people about the various roles Happiness plays in our lives, and we share knowledge and practices about what contributes to our happiness and how we can contribute to others’ happiness as individuals and as business leaders.
And we do so grounded in the reality of life.



Episode 16 –  the first episode after 3 months unplanned hiatus – was a “special” edition in an unusual format… a solo during which I shared the life that happened to me in the 3 months which turned out to be the hardest time of my life to date. It turned out to be a very long episode.

In the first 1 hour and 15 minutes I share the chronicles of my husband hospitalization and in the following 30 minutes I shared what depleted me and what enriched me during these 3 months. Given the length and the answers in the poll attached in the spotify episode which asked to split it
in two episodes, on March 22nd I recorded this new solo where in the first 10 minutes I share really the highlights of what happened November through January
and how I’m doing now and then the conclusions and learnings I initially shared in February in episode 16 (and that I will soon remove from there) including
the insights from Tal Ben-Shahar on how to turn a traumatic experience into an opportunity for growth, and my overall learning and conclusion.

Welcome! Hosted by Rosaria Cirillo (Happiness Change Catalyst, Certified Happiness Trainer, Customer Experience Professional, and Laughter Yoga Teacher), in “The Happiness Contribution™ Show” we talk with incredible people about the various roles Happiness plays in our lives, and we share knowledge and practices about what contributes to our happiness and how we can contribute to others’ happiness as individuals and as business leaders.

In today's episode, our guest is Houda Dortland, a certified Life coach and Happiness trainer. She is passionate about helping individuals who feel emotionally stuck and experience too much stress in their daily lives or at work. With over 22 years of experience in acute medicine, she has seen the effects of stress on the mind and body. Today she helps people to shift from stress to success and uses the science of happiness, #wellbeing, and #EFT (#EmotionalFreedomTechniques) to do so.

I met Houda at beginning of 2022 first virtually as a fellow member of the Uppiness Game Facilitator and the HSA communities, then in person in June during the HSA Alumni meet-up and Happiness@work conference in Antwerp. In August, we started weekly calls as we became accountability buddies since we both are freelance entrepreneurs.

And in November and December, she coached me on how to use EFT practice during the most challenging time of my life. As you may have heard in the solo episode 16, EFT has been really my lifebuoy in the most stressful moments during my husband’s illness, and I’m very excited to share this practice with you in this episode, where Houda also guides through the key steps of the practice with simplicity and empathy.

Houda in 6 sentences:

💛 I am a wife and mother who loves life!

💛 I am a dreamer and thinker, passionate about well-being and happiness.

💛 I love exploring the world through food and fitness and chocolate 🙂.

💛 I hate: I don't think I hate anything, maybe dislike but hate? no.

💛 I wish everybody would take off their masks and start to show their unique greatness.
💛 To me, happiness contribution means contributing to the well-being and happiness of others. Change the I and U in WE.

Here is a glimpse of some of the topics covered in this episode:

🌻 Definition of Happiness & her Yellow Factor Inward and Outward,

🌻 Value of energy, simplicity, and autonomy

🌻 Mental Fitness,

🌻 EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques),

🌻 Sample EFT Practice

🌻 Life-changing book (affiliate link): The Big Five for Life

She aspires the public to interact, in order to connect and express themselves. Daniella’s art touch upon stories and metaphors, often connecting with subconscious reminders. She believes in challenging perspectives and inspiring the viewer.

Her art is for indoor and outdoor (public and private) spaces. Most works are for sale and site-specific pieces are on commission.

Daniella in 6 sentences: 💛 I am a wife, and mother of two boys living in Amsterdam. 💛 I am enthusiastic about life, art, inventing, and exploring. 💛 I love Stracciatella ice cream. 💛 I hate politics. 💛 I wish for peace. 💛 To me, happiness contribution means spreading our light and the energy
