Episode 13: Redefining Happiness
In this episode of Why Mindset Matters, I explore how my definition of happiness has radically shifted since losing my daughter, Rylee. For a long time, I thought happiness was supposed to be loud, obvious, and permanent — but grief cracked that illusion wide open.
Now, I see happiness as something softer, more sacred — moments of peace, presence, and gratitude woven into the messiness of real life.
I share how I learned to hold both joy and sorrow without apology, and how I’ve made space for meaning, even when life doesn’t feel light. This is a raw and honest conversation about emotional duality — the kind that lets joy and pain coexist. It’s about breaking up with performative positivity and giving yourself full permission to define happiness in a way that actually fits who you are now, not who you used to be.
Ultimately, I invite you to rethink what happiness really means — not as a constant feeling, but as a personal perspective — and to realize just how much your mindset can and does shape the way you experience life, even in the midst of grief.
