Power Yourself is a podcast featuring real discussions about life and happiness. We talk about happiness as a self-driven road and discuss all of the road blocks that tend to come up along the way. The idea is to talk about our lives, tips and tricks we use, difficulties we encounter, ah ha moments we have had, and to share advice and strategies that have worked (and sometimes have not worked) for us. Having these discussions will hopefully help people on their own paths to maybe walk away with a different perspective or even a new tool to try out.
Life is definitely a journey and no one has the sole defined path to happiness for everyone, it’s our own to make. It’s a choice to Power Yourself!
