Are you tired of putting on a fake smile? Of pretending you’re happy when you’re really not? Are you ready to stop chasing happiness and create it instead?
This world we live in wants us to believe we need to buy something new or bigger or better to be happy, but guess what? That’s NOT real. That’s what inauthentic happiness.
Real authentic happiness comes from within. It comes from noticing and appreciating the good things in your life. It comes from saying thank you to your creator. It comes from believing that everything in your life can be used for good, to make you stronger and more courageous.
The Make Happiness Happen podcast is going to help you learn how to create authentic happiness in YOUR life.
We’ll talk about the importance of gratitude and faith. We’ll learn about different tools to help you cultivate real authentic happiness. Things like a daily gratitude journal, prayer, essential oils and even a cool technique called tapping.
So…are you ready to stop faking it and be happy for real? If you said yes, you’re in the right place.

#82: Dangerous Prayers
In this episode of the Make Happiness Happen podcast, we’re taking the habit of prayer one step further! Yes, a daily prayer habit matters! It grounds us, comforts us and reminds us we’re never alone. But what if prayer was meant to be more than just a routine? What if it’s meant to stretch us?
Today I’m sharing how we can move from safe, comfortable prayers, to bold courageous ones. I’m talking about the kind of prayers that search our hearts, break our pride and push us to step out in faith. Inspired by the book Dangerous Prayers by Craig Groeschel, this episode is an invitation to stop playing it safe and start praying instead.
Are you ready to step outside of your comfort zone? Are you ready to choose courage over comfort?
