About this episode:

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and embodiment coach Chrystal Rose for a deep, real-talk conversation about what happiness actually is—and why so many of us are stuck chasing it instead of feeling it.

We explore nervous system regulation, embodiment, and the sneaky ways high-achieving women sabotage their joy (even while growing “successful” businesses). Chrystal shares powerful insight on building internal safety, making intuitive decisions, and what it really looks like to heal from the inside out.

We also talk about her own entrepreneurial journey—from boutique owner to coach to co-owning an archery shop (yes, really!)—and how honoring her intuition has led her to the life she didn’t even know she wanted.

Whether you’re burnt out, stuck in your head, or ready to finally feel good without the grind—this one’s for you.

Takeaways:

• Happiness is not a result but a state of being.
• Pain and happiness coexist and share the same space.
• Nervous system regulation is crucial for emotional well-being.
• Embodiment connects the mind and body, enhancing self-awareness.
• Self-care is essential for entrepreneurs to thrive.
• Intuition serves as a guiding force in decision-making.
• Mistakes are opportunities for growth and learning.
• Surrendering to uncertainty can foster a sense of safety.
• The healing journey is ongoing and filled with opportunities for growth.
• Being present in the moment enhances overall happiness.

In this episode of Chasing Happy, I’m joined by my friend Mary Lynn, who I met while walking the Camino de Santiago—a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain that’s as much an inner journey as it is a physical one.

We talk about what drew each of us to the Camino, the brutal days that nearly broke us, the surprising friendships we made along the way (including a guy carrying a cat the entire distance!), and how the Camino became a metaphor for the rest of life: one step at a time, listening to your own body and truth, and letting go of perfection.

Mary Lynn opens up about her decision to leave a 15-year teaching career in search of herself—and how the trail helped her find peace, confidence, and clarity about what truly makes her happy.

If you’ve ever dreamed of dropping everything for a big adventure, or wondered whether happiness might be waiting for you somewhere unexpected, this episode is for you.
