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.

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.
