#302 WHY NEED TO STOP SETTLING FOR HAPPINESS: Here’s How to Feel True Joy Instead (inspired by Carnaval!)

What if we’re all chasing happiness when what we really need is something deeper? If you’re tired of counting down the minutes or feeling your good vibes slip away as soon as the next stressor hits, this episode is for you. I recently soaked up the energy of Rio’s Carnaval—where music, movement, and a massive sense of shared purpose create one giant “dopamine menu” of fun—and it made me realize how much we overlook genuine joy. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down why a focus on joy can be the key to true fulfillment, rather than constantly hunting for those fleeting bursts of happiness. Here’s a taste of what we’ll explore: Why Joy Beats Happiness – Discover the difference between quick-fix emotional highs and a deeper sense of contentment that actually fuels your long-term well-being. Reframing Your Perspective – Learn how to shift your mindset, open up to new possibilities (Carnaval-style!), and find those spark moments in your everyday life. Owning Your Time (and Your Dopamine!) – Feeling “time-poor”? We’ll talk about transforming your schedule into a personalized “dopamine menu” filled with purposeful actions that keep you energized and genuinely fulfilled.
