What Even IS Happy?

Everyone says they “just want to be happy,” but… what does that actually mean? In this solo episode, I get personal—reflecting on my fertility journey (spoiler: I’m pregnant!), the pressure to be “ready,” and how my own definition of happiness has shifted. This isn’t about fireworks or the perfect body or everything finally falling into place. It’s about presence. Self-trust. And maybe, finally, learning to sit in the neutral with both feet on the ground.
