I didn’t realize how much life could change just by learning to be open.

In this episode of Happy Life Agenda, I share the messy and honest parts of that process, how letting go of control, listening instead of defending myself, and spending time in stillness shifted my relationships and my peace of mind.

We talk about what it really means to be open. Not just to new ideas and feedback but to letting people live their own lives without me trying to fix or shape them. It hasn’t been easy. It’s one of the hardest skills I’ve ever had to learn but it’s also been the most freeing.

If you’ve been feeling tense, heavy or stuck, I hope this conversation gives you space to slow down and see another way forward. Watch this episode of The Happy Life Agenda.

You’re wired for connection. But in a world full of notifications, curated feeds, and AI-generated conversations, genuine human connection is getting harder to find.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rick L. Mask, a strategic leadership consultant, author, and TEDx speaker, to explore why connection is essential to our health, purpose, and happiness.

We talk about what social capital really means, why relationships are the greatest form of wealth, and how the pursuit of efficiency is quietly making us more isolated.

Whether you're an introvert learning to lean in, a leader wanting to foster true connection, or just someone who feels like something is missing, this episode will meet you where you are. Watch this episode of the Happy Life Agenda.
