Happiness Solved
315 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 days ago - ★★★★★ - 170 ratingsWelcome to Happiness Solved! I'm your host, Sandee Sgarlata. I've dedicated the last 34 years of my life to personal development. You see, 34 years ago my life was a hot mess and hitting rock bottom taught me a lot as I never dealt with the pain, grief, and multiple traumas I experienced as a child. The thought of anyone going through what I've dealt with in my life is the motivation and why I created this empowering podcast.
The guests I interview are all experts in their respective fields and you can expect to hear inspiring stories, practical advice, and insights on how to cultivate joy and well-being in your life. Whether you're seeking to overcome challenges, improve relationships, or simply find more meaning and purpose in your life, this podcast will offer you a wealth of tools and strategies to help you achieve your goals.
