S3 E12 Why Happiness Isn’t a Destination with Nikki & Linda, Founders of Mingle & Marvel

What if 'success' doesn’t make you happy? What if you can have the career, the home, the family; and still feel like something is missing?

That’s exactly where Nikki Milligan, a corporate executive, and Linda, the CEO of her household, found themselves. Both successful in their own worlds, both doing “everything right,” and yet both realizing that happiness wasn’t guaranteed. Their curiosity about the science of happiness brought them together, and from that partnership, Mingle & Marvel was born to be a Happiness Centre designed to help people stop waiting and start living with intention, purpose, and community.

But their journey wasn’t easy. When they launched their first event, no one showed up. What could have been the end became the beginning of something bigger. Instead of giving up, Nikki and Linda doubled down on their purpose: to help others practice happiness as a daily habit, supported by evidence-based tools and meaningful connections.

In this episode, they share how purpose drives true happiness, why failure became one of their greatest teachers, and what it really means to build happiness through community. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why don’t I feel happy even when everything looks good on paper?", this conversation is for you.
