Happiness and Life Transitions with Sabrina Mosseau
Friday Jun 21, 2024
Friday Jun 21, 2024
Join me with my guest, Sabrina Mosseau, as we explore the role of happiness and its role in the coming together of our head, heart, and soul. Sabrina shares with us how she sees happiness and what we love as a compass for navigating our choices.
Key takeaways:
Embrace Small Joys: Happiness often lies hidden in simple, everyday moments— like the joy of being greeted by your pets or the unexpected delight of tactile experiences. These small joys play a major role in having a fulfilling life.
Being Authentic Rather than Pretending: Pretending to be happy when you're not can harm your mental health over time. It's crucial to give yourself permission to feel and express both happiness and sadness.
Emotional Intelligence in Leadership: Leaders can foster happier, more creative, and productive workplaces and enhancing overall morale and innovation by encouraging individuals to express both their personalities and the use of the skills that truly make them happy .
Self-Love and Boundaries: The key to real happiness lies in asking yourself, "Who am I truly, and am I happy as this person?" Falling in love with the qualities that are essential to you helps you make future life choices clear.
Resilience and Gratitude: Even in less-than-optimal conditions, people can create resilience, happiness and gratitude.

Friday Jun 14, 2024
Friday Jun 14, 2024
That’s how Kim Perone encourages us to think about happiness because it can keep us alive and engaged with life, especially for those of us who grieve.
Kim was one of those lucky ones who was born happy and encouraged to be happy by her family so it was never something foreign or intermittent. It wasn’t until midlife that Kim experienced two major tragedies: the loss of her young son in a car accident and soon after, the loss of her sister to cancer.
Although her life was turned upside down, her surviving son taught her that living in the now could enable them to find happiness despite what had happened to them.
Key takeaways:
- Give yourself permission to be happy, to see happy and to feel happy, even under the most difficult of circumstances.
- Happiness is a form of appreciation for the life we are given.
- Write down the things that make you happy so that when you’ve temporarily forgotten, you can remind yourself.
- And to those who grieve, she teaches us that happiness will come through our own resilience.
Kim is a Success Coach, Wellbeing Consultant, Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator and founder of The Center for Clarity, Compassion & Contentment (CENTER4C). Kim works with business professionals and organizations offering a coaching form of employee assistance and on and off-site inspiring retreats.

Don't be Fearful of Being Fearless With Guest, Ray Smith
Friday May 31, 2024
Friday May 31, 2024
At 81, Ray Smith credits his happiness to saying "yes" to life, mostly due to the fact that he did not know the word "no"! He never planned but took what came his way, never worried about what wasn't important and learned that you can't be fearful of being fearless.
Ray's eclectic, exhuberant, remarkable, and multi-faceted career began as a dancer on American Bandstand, the first national television show in the 1950s devoted to rock and roll. He's been a dancer, actor, film critic, director and writer. Ray worked on several movies and recently appeared on a documentary about the history of disco music. His dance career included being a member of a Sachiyo Ito's Japanese dance company and the Noche Flamenca Dance Company, where he was the company manager, road manager and Board President for many years. Not the least of his many accomplishments is his 49 year career at NBC TV, for which he won an EMMY award in 2007 for writing and producing.
Ray has an indefatigable love of life which led him to look within and ask the "big" questions, like, who am I and what is my life really about? Through those questions he has discovered what's inside him that makes him content.
May his insights spark yours as well.

Trust Your Inner Knowing With Guest, Robbin Jorgensen
Thursday May 23, 2024
Thursday May 23, 2024
Join me as we hear the inspiring story of a woman who left the corporate world, took a leap of faith and found happiness and fulfillment by following her heart.
Robbin Jorgensen is the founder and CEO of Women Igniting Change, an organization that unleashes the untapped potential and contributions of women around the world.
Many women in the corporate world find themselves losing their sense of self as the years go by. Often the rigid rules and expectations stifle their creativity and ingenuity, making it hard to express their true gifts and talents. Additionally, many women give up on their dreams because of societal, familial, and cultural conditioning, not realizing that their intuition can guide them towards fulfilling their true potential. How do you know if what you're doing truly fits you? The key lies in tuning into your inner knowing and getting quiet enough to listen, rather than pushing it away. Discover how listening to your inner voice leads to synchronicities and fortunate coincidences that validate your choices as you choose your own path in this world.
In this episode, we explore the importance of trusting this inner knowing. The question isn't "how"—the how reveals itself as you progress. Instead, the real question is "why." Understanding your reason why allows you to transcend fear and disappointment, empowering you to dare to dream.
