Today, we are going to dive into the topic of health and wellness. How many times have you thought to yourself, “I really need to focus on my health.” We know that we have throughout the years! We’ve mentioned many times on this podcast that many of us go through life feeling “fine" - but what if we can be “better than fine” by living healthier, more fulfilling lives through a focus on our health and wellness. Not only is health and wellness important for living a longer life, it’s crucial to living your best and most positive life. We are excited to explore how we can all forge pathways to positivity through a focus on health and wellness.

Today, we are going to dive into part 2 of a 3-part series that examines the question, “What would my life look like if I actually CHOSE happiness? Last week, we , defined the word “happiness”, as we understand it for the purpose of this series. Then, we explored the difference between happiness and contentedness, happiness and pleasure, and happiness and joy. Finally, we illuminated some intentional actions we can take to “choose happiness” in our own lives as we explore pathways to positivity. 

Today, we are excited to explore the personal story of our guest, Taylor, and discover how she has asked and then answered for herself the question “What would my life look like if I actually choses happiness?”

This week, we are beginning a three part series that examines the question, “What would my life look like if I actually CHOSE happiness?" Today, we are going to define what happiness is, explore the difference between happiness and contentedness or happiness and pleasure, and then illuminate intentional actions toward “choosing happiness” in our own lives as we explore pathways to positivity. 

Last week, we completed our two part series that examined the questions “Who Am I?”, “Who Do I Want to Be”, and “How do I align the two?” Today, we are going to explore the story of a woman who experienced a transformation in her own life, which led to her own examination of these vital questions. What does life look like on the other side of self-reflection which leads to alignment of “who I am” and “who I want to be? And how are pathways to positivity forged along the way?

Last week, we defined and took a deep dive into the question “Who am I?” If  you haven’t had a chance to  listen to last week’s episode, we encourage you to pause and take the time to dive into that question for yourself. This week, in part 2 of this 2-part series, we are further exploring the concept of identity as we examine the question “Who do i want to be?” and "How we do we align the two?"

Who am I? If we want to pave pathways to positivity it’s important to understand that how we see the world - how we experience life - is directly correlated to who we are. Having that self knowledge can lead to more happiness, less inner conflict, better decision making, more self-control, vitality, and pleasure.

This week, we are beginning a two-part series that allows us to examine identity. Who are you? Who do you want to be? And how do you align the two?

This week, we are excited to dive deeper into what it means to transition into a “next phase of life”. For our guest, Thomas Odie, this next phase happens to be retirement after a 30 year career. Join us as we examine what it means to "forge pathways to positivity" as we prepare for life's transitions.
