Are you craving more happiness in your everyday life—but not sure how to get there?

In this energizing episode, I sit down with Katie Jefcoat, happiness curator, speaker, and host of the Everyday Happiness podcast, to uncover the science and soul of happiness. We explore 7 small but powerful shifts that can dramatically increase your daily joy and emotional well-being. This episode originally aired in 2024 but it's so good I wanted to replay it for you.

Together, we unpack why happiness can feel elusive (even when life is good), and how simple mindset and margin changes can bring more peace, purpose, and contentment into your days. Whether you feel stuck in the busy or want to start living more intentionally, this episode is your fresh start.

• Happiness is built, not found. It's the result of small, intentional habits—not a destination we arrive at.
• Create margin. Protecting your time and energy is essential to sustaining joy.
• Love is happiness. Focusing on connection, gratitude, and acts of kindness has a compounding effect on well-being.
• Shift your focus. Rewiring your thoughts to notice joy and practice positivity can lead to long-term emotional change.
• You don’t need a life overhaul. Tiny changes—like how you start your day or what you prioritize—can have a big impact.

This episode explores why so many women feel the pressure to be everything to everyone—and how this mindset is both unsustainable and unnecessary. You’ll unpack where the need to “do it all” comes from, the spiritual and emotional toll it takes, and most importantly, how to begin releasing the burden without guilt.

In this heartfelt episode of Building a Life You Love, host Kristin Fitch invites you to break free from the pressure of doing everything for everyone. If you're tired of carrying the invisible load, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, or struggling to let go of control—this is your wake-up call.

Kristin shares 5 simple but powerful shifts to help you release perfectionism, receive support, and start living lighter with intention, grace, and joy. Learn how to create space for rest, reframe your role, and remember: your worth isn’t tied to your productivity.

You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to do it all. You just have to start choosing what matters most.

You’ll learn why it’s essential to acknowledge your emotions rather than suppress them, and how embracing your feelings can lead to greater joy, peace, and purpose. Plus, Kristin shares practical strategies to renew your mind, shift your perspective, and let go of the mental habits holding you back.

• You are not required to carry everything—God never asked you to.
• Doing it all often stems from people-pleasing, control, or fear—not truth.
• Allowing others to help (even imperfectly) frees you and builds connection.
• Setting a “done is done” daily boundary creates emotional and physical space for rest.
• Your value is not in your output. You are deeply loved just as you are.
