In today’s episode, I’m joined by bestselling author and happiness expert Stephanie Harrison to explore the New Happy paradigm, a revolutionary approach to happiness that breaks down the false barrier between self-interest and collective care. We’re moving beyond the traditional self-care narrative to uncover how true joy can come from uplifting others and cultivating a more connected, purposeful life.

We'll also dive into the individualistic nature of therapy and the “old happy” myth that we need fixing, challenging the idea that happiness is purely a personal endeavor. What if we’re not broken, but simply in need of connection, purpose, and ways to offer our gifts to the world? Stephanie sheds light on how the New Happy shifts the focus from isolated self-improvement to a fulfilling, community-oriented path.

Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. In this episode, I’m diving into why therapy might not be for everyone and how to figure out if it’s truly the right move for you.

We’ll go over the upsides and the downsides of therapy, and I’ll walk you through a few questions to help you decide if you’re ready. Maybe you’re already in therapy and wondering if it’s time for a break, or questioning if you're being challenged enough in session. This one’s for you too.

If you’re not sure about therapy right now, we’ll talk about other ways to work on yourself that might actually be a better fit—think books, journaling, meditation, and just taking time for curious self-reflection. Therapy is amazing for some, but it’s not the only option.

Welcome to a special "Evergreen Rx 101" mini-dose! In this episode, we’re diving into the enchanting world of tarot—just in time for spooky season! Whether you're a curious beginner or looking to brush up on the basics, this primer will equip you with enough knowledge to confidently pull cards and explore their messages.

We'll kick off with a brief history of tarot, tracing its roots from 15th-century playing cards to its evolution into a tool for divination and self-reflection. You'll get a rundown of the 78 cards in a tarot deck, split into the Major and Minor Arcana, along with the Court cards. The Major Arcana represents life's big messages—from the Fool to the World—while the Minor Arcana’s four suits (Pentacles, Cups, Swords, Wands) explore the more everyday energies in our lives. Don't worry, the Death card doesn't mean doom!

By the end, you'll feel confident enough to grab a tarot deck, set an intention, shuffle, and pull cards with ease. We’ll also share tips on interpreting the cards and making the deck’s guidebook your best friend.
