#111 What if happiness isn’t what you think it is?

What if the way we’ve been taught to chase happiness is actually making us miserable?

In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Harrison, founder of The New Happy, to unpack why our cultural obsession with achievement, perfection, and self-focus is breaking us—and what we can do about it.

Stephanie doesn’t just challenge the traditional idea of happiness—she flips it on its head.

Backed by over a decade of research, she makes the case for a new philosophy, one that’s rooted in connection, kindness, and a sense of purpose. Stephanie’s philosophy isn’t just an idea; it’s a movement.

From breaking free of "Old Happy" to embracing a life rooted in connection, purpose, and service, this conversation will leave you rethinking what truly matters

This isn’t your typical feel-good conversation. It’s raw, insightful, and packed with practical ways to break free from old patterns and start living a life that feels meaningful—not just successful.

🎧 In this episode, we explore:

• Why "Old Happy" is making us lonelier and less fulfilled.
• How community and service hold the key to a better life.
• What it really means to live moment-to-moment—and why it matters.
• The small shifts you can make today to start feeling more connected and alive.
• Why the pursuit of success often leads to unhappiness.
• The life-changing power of loving others—and yourself.
• How “one moment at a time” could be the mantra that saves us all.
• Real-world strategies for breaking free of the pressure to be perfect.

This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing the wrong things and focus on what really matters.

Packed with compassion, science-backed wisdom, and life-changing clarity, Stephanie Harrison will not only challenge your assumptions about happiness but will inspire you to live a more authentic, meaningful, and connected life.

This episode isn’t just about happiness—it’s about hope, humanity, and redefining what it means to thrive.
