How the hell are you always so happy? I get asked this, or some version of this, all the time. I figured I would address it and see if I can shed some light on why I am the way I am. 

Generally I am an incredibly happy person. This boggles a lot of people’s minds- how is that even possible? Do you ever get upset? Are you ever not smiling? The answer to all of those is yes, BUT the majority of the time I am a happy, smiley person. 

I’ve been this way my whole life and I attribute a lot of it to my Dad. His attitude about things, his desire to look for the good instead of the bad, his undying support for his family… He has always been the most positive and optimistic person that I know. One of the best and most profound things he ever said to me was to have a PMA- a Positive Mental Attitude. It’s your choice of how you react and what your attitude about things will be. For whatever reason, it stuck and I have always looked on the bright side of things.

I share a couple of stories about my "how am I so happy" journey, so give it a listen and let me know your biggest takeaway! Send me a DM on IG @livingjoyfulandwell

The doors to The LJW Collective - a private membership for MOMS- is opening on May 19! I have a vision of awesomeness for us as Moms to have an amazing community to support each other, learn some cool stuff, grow as Moms and as individuals, have fun, and thrive throughout our motherhood journey. If you’ve listened to me or know me at all, you know that I have a passion for supporting other Moms, not competing with each other, and for allowing all of us to just be who we are- messy, silly, made up, makeup free, fancy, or casual- it doesn’t matter! We just need a community of like-minded, supportive, freaking fantastic Mamas to stick together through thick and thin and help make this journey through life amazing. I announced The LJW Collective in a BONUS episode, so if you are interested in hearing more, check out the episode- BONUS: Announcement episode from April 30!  

If you’re excited to hear more and in being a Founding Member of The LJW Collective,  get on the waiting list HERE and be the first to hear all about it on May 19! 

Enjoy the Day!!!
