Ep 77: Let's talk about happiness
This week is a heavier topic, happiness. Are you happy is a loaded question with lots of tiny facets. I'm breaking it all down this week and what happened once I realized that I wasn't happy trying to monetize my new skills. I thought I had to reinvent myself to become a successful creator but what I really need to do was lean further into what I am naturally good at.
