Find Happiness & Ditch Settling | Tess B...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

No more blindly following what you’re are supposed to do. It’s time to get clear, find happiness, and ditch the idea of settling. So how do you do that? Our guest Tess Brigham (MFT, BCC) has a few words of wisdom to help you get there.

May is mental health month and as someone who struggles with mental health, I thought we should have some conversations about it this month. In this episode, we’re talking about happiness. It feels sometimes like we’re always supposed to be happy, but you and I both know that’s not actually reality. On the other side of the coin, there’s a lot of people that believe you can never be happy. And that’s not true either. Somewhere in the middle is a place where happiness exists. The best part of happiness is that it can look different to you than it does to me. We get to define it and shape it. 

Meet Tess. Tess is a  ‘Millennial Therapist’, an expert psychotherapist, certified life coach, and public speaker. She specializes in helping millennials discover their unique life path in order to go out into the world and make an impact. In this episode, she is sharing how to get super clear on what happiness looks like for YOU and some action steps to take to make it a reality.
