  1. How Will I Know When I'm Happy?

    NOV 26

    How Will I Know When I'm Happy?

    EPISODE 6 - This week’s Stranger introduces the concept of “happiness” as a belief system that he has possibly opted out of.  Pitched to Americans as a sustainable state of being that we are ever to chase, broken in the absence of, and one purchase away from achieving. We can all see that this is a set-up.  Instead, he offers some alternate concepts to examine. Viewing happiness in relationship to its opposite allows us to recognize it when it’s here. Was humanity built to function with ongoing sustained happiness? Should we even strive for happiness or be motivated by other goals? Are we defining “Happiness,” and is it best that we focus on serenity or joy instead?   But “Happy” comes with a rush that joy does not imply. Who doesn’t love that sugar-high dopamine drama that happiness brings when it shows up?  So, how do we go about getting it without sounding foolish?   Tune in to find out…  Life’s Answers could just be a stranger away! +Follow us on Apple / Spotify and Instagram to never miss an episode!   Contact Us at: advice-from-strangers@hotmail.com  Leave a Message:  advice voicemail.

    Should I Get My House In Order? Or My Dreams In Order?

    EPISODE 5 - In order to make our destiny a reality, do we build a nest or fly the coop?      In a week where we are feeling uncertain about our futures and vulnerable to the forces outside us - Our topic is a great meditation that begins with how to shore up your home base to best chase your dream.  If it needs to be chased at all… What if validating the small dreams, centering them daily, and stacking those joys is how we achieve a life fulfilled?  Do our dreams have to be elusive to count?  Or can we recognize the ones already achieved. The dreams our parents and communities had for us that we surpassed and kept moving forward.  This week, let’s recognize what we have already done to remind ourselves of what we can do.   Episode Time Codes: 01:29 - We’re Not Ok Right Now ~ w/ CoHost Bandi 18:10 - This Week’s Topic Selection     Remember, we’re no experts—but that’s what makes it fun!   +Follow us on Apple / Spotify and Instagram to never miss an episode!  Contact Us at: advice-from-strangers@hotmail.com Leave a Message:  advice voicemail

    What If My Inner Child Is Wrong?

    EPISODE 2   We all hear about reconnecting with our inner child—but what does that kid know about life? Should our inner child really be calling the shots? In this episode, Super Stranger Erica Reid Gerdes joins us with some seriously wise wisdom. We dive into the big questions like: Who are we now? Are we living our truth? Is that what our inner child actually wants? It’s a fun yet introspective conversation about authenticity, personal values, and how past trauma influences our present decisions. We also discuss reclaiming creativity, dealing with loss, and whether listening to your gut is really the right call. Remember, we’re no experts—but that’s what makes it so much fun!  Shout Out to cohost extraordinare Babs!
