The Amaru Podcast

What's stealing  *your* happiness?

Today, we'll tackle those sneaky thieves of happiness that might be lurking in the shadows of your life. We're all unique, and what brings joy to one person may be different for another. Our backgrounds, stories, personality types, and values shape our sources of happiness. As I share my experiences and struggles, I invite you to reflect on your life - are there elements silently sapping away your happiness?

Your journey to true happiness begins with understanding yourself - your needs, desires, preferences, hopes, and dreams. It's about exploring what refuels you when you're running dry and discovering what depletes your energy.

This episode isn't about making others happy, it’s about uncovering what sparks joy for YOU.

 Listen in, pick up your journal, and let's embark on this enlightening journey of self-discovery together. Be prepared to challenge yourself, understand what makes you tick, and discover what truly brings you joy.

Ever expected a certain reaction from someone and felt disappointed when it didn't happen? That's what we're delving into on this episode of The Amaru Podcast.

This episode is a deep-dive into the dynamics of how expectations from others can impact our emotional state and often lead to unhappiness.

 Opening up about my vulnerabilities, I discuss my experiences of feeling let down and even sad when things didn't play out as I had envisioned. But here's the catch: we can't control how others act, feel, or respond. I am still learning to let go of expectations, to be more open-minded, and most importantly, to understand that my happiness should not hinge on them. Join me in this episode as I explore the emotional landscape of expectations and how by reassessing their role, we can reclaim our happiness.
