We’re honored to re-share this powerful conversation with Kris Torgrimson, Law of Attraction Life Coach and founder of Choosing Happiness Today Life Coaching.
Kris helps people create meaningful change through spiritually aligned action and energetic mindset work. In this heartfelt conversation, she reminds us that "It’s good to feel good” isn’t just a mantra — it’s a way of life.
Whether you’re entering a new season, a new chapter, or just need a little mid-year reset, this episode is a beautiful reminder to pause, realign, and let go of what no longer serves.
We talk about:
Why feeling good is your secret superpower
How to reset your mindset when life feels uncertain
What really works (and doesn’t) when it comes to New Year’s resolutions
How to use contrast as a tool for clarity
Micro habits that lead to massive shifts
Why we're re-releasing:
This was the very first episode of The Empower Hour — and it’s just as relevant now as it was then. Whether you're new here or have been with us from the start, this conversation is a grounding listen and a powerful reminder that no matter what’s happening around you... you have the power to choose how you feel.
