Looking for happiness in all the wrong places? This episode introduces three clear rules that expose where most of us get stuck when we try to find fulfillment. Through vivid coaching stories and examples, Adriana shows how to uncover what truly drives you and why aligning your actions with your values brings peace, meaning, and resilience — even when goals feel far away.

You’ll learn:

• Why the values that truly sustain happiness are actions, not feelings
• How to spot “dead person goals” that masquerade as values
• How to reclaim agency when your happiness depends on what other people do
