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.

In the fast-paced, overstimulating time we live in, it can feel like an absolute necessity to disconnect from the world & become a little lump - I feel that.

In the past few years, conversations about the importance of mindfulness, meditation, and getting present have become more frequent. But that often leaves us wondering what mindfulness even looks like, much less how we can even practice it in today’s nonstop world. Today I share the gift of microdosing (minus the mushrooms) - the practice of using the little moments throughout your day (in between classes, at stoplights, in the shower) to cultivate greater awareness and presence. We will break down what mindfulness looks like and what it doesn’t, why you should even care about it, and practical ways to begin microdosing. On the other side of presence is greater fulfillment - and you know we are all about that here at the Evergreen Rx! I promise - it’s not as hard as you think.

Today’s episode is all about finding & connecting with your internal guidance system or intuition. Intuition is an innate gift inside of all of us that can contribute to a greater feeling of connection, support, and purpose throughout each day and in shaping our lives. We explore the different ways intuition can come in (think senses…do you receive messages through feelings, a voice or sound, perhaps even smells?), how it differs from our thinking mind, and common blocks or limiting beliefs surrounding our ability to use intuition as a tool. Beginning or growing your connection to your intuition is a fun journey connecting you to a new way of moving through the world with greater ease. I can’t wait to hear how it shows up for you!
