Happiness in Progress Danielle Craig

"Every pound I lost found felt like a pound of baggage from the abuse I had let go." - Lydia Bordo

You're going to hear from Lydia Bordo. She's a Peloton obsessed mom and wife. She's also a domestic violence survivor.

Danielle and Lydia talk about not only the physical change, but what occurred internally. Plus, how goals helped Lydia face trauma and why she chooses to be positive.

"It’s not that we have too many goals - it’s that we have a lack of grace to go along with them." - Danielle Craig

2020 was a year that delivered disappointment after disappointment. Goals have apparently became a victim of the disappointments. 

But Danielle says the fear of disappointment shouldn't keep us from setting goals.

In this episode, she discusses how to add grace to your goals with three easy ways to measure growth.

Today you're going to hear from Life Coach, Sam Jones. Sam has worked with more than 300 clients (from everyday professionals to celebrities). Sam helps people facing challenges of having no direction in life, comparisons and not organizing their lives for happiness.

This episode is the perfect one to start the year out with. 

Sam and Danielle talk about how to navigate uncertainty, setting goals, how to deal with the voice in your head and learning versus action. There's that and a lot more.

Start your new year out with an intention to have more serendipity in your life. Dr. Chad Thatcher came on the Happiness in Progress podcast with Danielle Craig to talk about how to maximize serendipity.

Dr. Thatcher is a professor at SOU’s Outdoor Adventure Leadership department.

In this conversation, you'll hear about what you can do to prepare your mind for serendipitous moments, why you need grit for serendipity and what a sagacious mindset is and how to develop it.

Today you will hear from Latasha Kinnard. She is the CEO of Godeste where she helps her clients maximize their income and effectively build for the future.

In this conversation, Tasha and Danielle talk about staying out of debt during the holidays, redeeming your holiday budget and how to change your mindset around money.

Plus:
- A powerful exercise to begin with as you examine your mindset
- What lack mentality can do to you
- How to get out of a cycle that doesn't allow you to gain wealth

This holiday season comes at the tail end of a year full of grief - whether that's the loss of a person, the loss of a job, home, comfort and the life we knew before.

That's why I wanted to have Katherine Ingram (a.k.a Grief Girl) on the podcast. Katherine is a life transitions coach, counselor, speaker and award-winning author. She's recently released the book Grief Girl's Guide.

We talk about:
- tools on dealing with loss
- why it's okay to not accept what's happening
- holiday expectations
