Happiness often feels like a simple goal - something we’re told to chase or “find” if we’re lucky. But it’s not just about good moods or quick wins. True happiness is more subtle, shaped by how we show up in life, the people we surround ourselves with, and the  meaning we create along the way. In this episode, we dive into what happiness really means in your twenties and beyond - why it can be so hard to hold onto, and how it’s tied to more than just feeling good.

We’ll explore:
Why happiness isn’t a permanent state, but a shifting experience
How everyday habits and relationships quietly influence our sense of happiness
The PERMA model of happiness
Why chasing pleasure doesn’t always lead to fulfilment
Busting the 3 biggest myths about happiness
Simple, real ways to build happiness for now, and for the future 

If you’re tired of chasing constant happiness and want to explore a more genuine, meaningful way to experience joy – this one is for you.
