Happier with Gretchen Rubin

I am a long time listener and this is my comfort podcast. I love to hear all the things that Gretchen & Liz talk about- even better when they share listener feedback & commentary.

I’ve been listening regularly to this podcast for the last seven years and it has been nothing short of life-changing. The Four Tendencies and other easy-to-remember psychology lessons, Happiness Hacks, the “Treat yourself like” series, Clear The Decks episodes, and everything else. It’s brilliant AND relatable; there’s not very many podcasts out there like this!

I’ve been reading Gretchen Rubin long before I started listening to her podcast. I consider her my favorite modern day philosopher. While Gretchen and Elizabeth offer practical tips for a happier healthier life, they also create the atmosphere of a calm and happy life, with some nuggets of life changing wisdom as well. I find myself quoting them often, whether it’s the ever practical look behind you while leaving your seat or the deeper stuff like “Be Gretchen” which is a reminder to be yourself in a situation don’t try to fit into what you think someone else wants. I listen on my drive to the gym it’s become a great habit.

If you’re looking for practical ways to improve your life, definitely give this Podcast a try. The focus is on knowing yourself better and what works for (or against) you without preaching a one size fits all solution. Gretchen & Elizabeth are so enthusiastic and thought provoking and all their suggestions are certainly attainable. Of all the Podcasts I listen to, this one is my favorite!
