Share Your Tips and Take-aways with me!

It’s OK to Be Ordinary as You Default to Extraordinary is a powerful reflection on the science of happiness and the myth of constant joy. Inspired by Michelle Obama's wisdom and supported by Dr. Laurie Santos’ research, this episode explores how embracing the ordinary can lead to an extraordinary life. Listeners will learn about the 3:1 happiness ratio, the PERMA model of well-being, and how most meaningful lives are built through consistent, ordinary actions—not constant excitement. Ideal for high-achieving women, midlife reinvention seekers, and those craving authenticity, this episode offers a grounded framework and coaching questions to reframe happiness and purpose.
