    Ep 27: Adria, 30, Literary Agent, Tacoma, WA, "Peace, Hope & Happiness"

    Adria defines her joy as the balance of peace, hope and happiness. She opens up about how her happiness has swung like a pendulum from a year ago, when she was very unhappy to present day, when she might be the happiest she’s ever been. Adria admits the vulnerability associated with peaks of joy and wondering if the other shoe is going to drop. Challenge has given her perspective on her own perseverance. Take control of your happiness is her personally trademarked motto. :) Adria acknowledges being flappable and has soft spots for the Statue of Liberty and Taylor Swift karaoke. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/commonhappiness/support

    Ep 25: Jenn, 37, Graphic Designer, Philadelphia, PA, "Lightness"

    Jenn shares her association with happiness and the feeling of lightness or buoyancy. The weirdest thing that ever brought her joy was the sound of a spinning ratchet. She urges caution when we are tempted to correlate our worth to our productivity and to be wary of the proverbial hamster wheel of life. In one of her difficult eras of life she kept an empty glass jar near her door and each day added a folded piece of paper with one thing she was grateful for written on it. It created a visual representation of the joy that was in her life even when it may not have felt like an easy time. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/commonhappiness/support

    When he’s not researching the influence of the environment on surgical outcomes or working in the OR, Johnny is watching birds, reading and admiring the starscape as an amateur astronomer.
