Welcome.

I started this podcast in 2015. I lovingly refer to it as my garage band podcast. I wanted to share stories, so I called it Stories from a Quest to Live Happier as a nod to my first book Juice Squeezed, Lessons from a Quest to Live Happier.  And whenever I felt inspired, I showed up and recorded a short story about Living Happier. THEN I became inspired by mindfulness hacks, small ways to get into your body throughout the day, so I changed then name to Happiness Hacks and again kept it to short, bite-sized episodes. 

In 2019 I hit 100 episodes and decided to up my game. I moved it out of “the garage” and hired a production team. We changed the name to the Happier Approach after my 3rd book by the same name. In 2021, I decided to return to my storytelling roots. I realized that the only podcasts I listen to were narrative style, like my favorite, Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell. Inspired by my roots and what I enjoy as a listener, I partnered with audio producer Nicki Stein, and together we have created the latest iteration.
