212: Why Happiness Happens When You’re Least Expecting It (Part 2)

Simona Costantini — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Throughout 2023, I have had the privilege of hosting incredible guests from around the world, and today, in our final episode of the year, I want to share with you five powerful clips from past episodes that can help you cultivate more happiness in your life.

In episode 200, I had the pleasure of interviewing Johnny, a remarkable individual who has personally helped me reflect on the power of gratitude. Johnny beautifully pointed out that all problems in the universe stem from desire or wanting, which is the opposite of having. By embracing gratitude for the things we already have in our lives, we can witness a gradual change, leading to abundance, happiness, and alignment.

Our guest Navid, a highly successful entrepreneur, shared his daily practice of harnessing the power of breath during episode 201. By simply taking 30 seconds each morning to sit at the edge of his bed and practice intentional breathing, Navid sets his mindset and energy for the day. This small yet impactful practice has helped him navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and find more joy in his life.

In episode 204, our guest Sha introduced us to the power of a gratitude journal. By listing five things to be grateful for each day, even if they seem small or insignificant, Sha taught us the importance of intentionally seeking gratitude in our lives. This practice helps us reframe challenging moments and infuse our days with positivity and appreciation.

Dr. Tim Lewis, in episode 206, enlightened us about the transformative power of nature. He encouraged us to get out and move, to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the natural world. By cultivating a sense of awe and gratitude for the everyday wonders around us, such as a hot shower or a good cup of coffee, we can increase our happiness and overall well-being.

Our final clip, from episode 207, features DJ, who shared a valuable practice he incorporates into his daily routine. Before going to bed each night, DJ writes down three gains he experienced throughout the day. These gains can be simple accomplishments or moments of joy. By consciously acknowledging and celebrating these gains, we train our minds to focus on the positive aspects of our lives.

As we close our last episode of 2023, I want to share with you my own insight on finding happiness: living life on your own terms. Throughout the years of hosting this podcast, I have learned that no one else's opinions or judgments should dictate your choices. Trust your own intuition and make decisions that align with your values and desires, for it is in living authentically that true happiness emerges.

Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey of growth and happiness. I am so grateful for each and every one of you who has tuned in, shared the episodes, and left ratings and reviews. Together, we can continue spreading the message of happiness and make a positive impact on millions of lives. Remember, happiness happens when you least expect it, so keep seeking, growing, and embracing the beauty of life.

211: 5 Life-Changing Tips that Will Make You Happier (Part 1)

Simona Costantini — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0400

This episode on the Happiness Happens podcast features a round-up of 5 life-changing tips from guests on the show this year.

As we come to the end of another incredible year, it's time to look back at some of the most inspiring moments and powerful insights shared by our guests. In this episode, I highlight five game changer snippets from the last question I ask each guest on the show, which is “how can listeners create a little more happiness in their day, every day, starting today?”

In episode 178, our guest Sandra shares the power of living life on your terms. She emphasizes the importance of finding true joy, following your own desires, and not conforming to other people's expectations. By listening to this, you'll discover insights that will empower you to create a life aligned with your dreams and aspirations.

Lewis, featured in episode 185, delves into the practice of gratitude as a tool for cultivating happiness. He speaks about using gratitude not just as a fleeting feeling but as a weapon against anxiety and stress. By integrating gratitude into your daily routine, you can experience a profound shift in your mindset and approach to life.

Sonia, our guest in episode 188, invites us to connect with ourselves without judgment. She encourages us to honor our feelings and explore what truly brings us joy and fulfillment. Through this conversation, you'll learn how small, dropped-in moments of self-connection can create a sense of joy and peace in your everyday life.

In episode 190, Christy introduces us to the concept of meditation beyond traditional methods. She highlights that meditation can take various forms, such as going for walks, engaging in artistic activities, or connecting with nature. By finding what allows you to lose yourself in the present moment, you can cultivate a deeper connection with your inner self and tap into true happiness.

Andi, our guest in episode 193, emphasizes the importance of taking mindful moments throughout the day. Rather than waiting for grand gestures, she encourages us to make small shifts in our routines that can lead to greater happiness. By incorporating simple practices like movement, healthier choices, and transparent communication, you can create a more radiant and fulfilling life.

I hope you feel inspired by the wisdom shared in these episodes of the Happiness Happens Podcast. Each conversation is a reminder that happiness is not a destination but a skill that we can cultivate. By implementing these insights into your daily life, you can experience a greater sense of gratitude, joy, and inner peace. Let's start the new year by honoring ourselves, connecting with our desires, and embracing the simplicity of happiness in our daily lives.

Wishing you a beautiful holiday season and a joy-filled new year ahead!

We discuss the pivotal moment when someone decides to make a change in their life, as well as the essential steps and considerations involved in embarking on a path of personal growth and transformation.

We explore the distinction between authentic desires and societal expectations, along with how to bring awareness to the gap between what we genuinely want and what we believe we should want, often influenced by external pressures.

Throughout the episode, we encourage you to reflect on their long-term goals and aspirations, as well as how vulnerability can be harnessed as a catalyst for personal transformation. Confidence in decision-making and strategies for navigating uncertainty are also addressed.

Carline provides actionable advice on how to infuse more happiness into daily life, empowering you to start making positive changes and finding greater fulfillment from today onward.

194: Finding Alignment Through Detachment Without Judgement with Nanci Reed

Simona Costantini — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 07:30:00 -0400

If you find yourself wanting to search for your own answers to happiness and healing, but you continue to stop yourself from starting because you haven’t found the “right way” to do the inner work - this episode is for you.

Nanci Reed is an author, pilates intuitive healer, spiritual life coach, and a student/teacher/facilitator of “A Course In Miracles”.

A life-altering car accident became the catalyst for her own self-healing journey which led to her to eventually teaching pilates and practical spirituality. Fused with her academic background and graduate work in psychology this work propelled her to her purpose of helping others heal their mind, body, or spirit.

Nanci works with clients facing all degrees of physical pain, misalignments, and those seeking to heal emotional and spiritual imbalances, as they navigate their own self-healing journey’s successes and seeming detours with a lens led by Kindness and Curiosity rather than preconceived judgments or comparisons. 'Happily Ever Living’ is Nanci’s unique, signature process to empower Self-Healing within her clients via pilates + practical spirituality.

We talk today about detaching judgement from ourselves so that we may live in the present and find alignment and happiness in our life.You’ll find that other people are drawn to this, and they want to be around it because you demonstrate for others what is possible for others by showing what is possible for yourself.

We dive into:

[3:50] What does happiness mean to Nanci?
[9:34] Making the shift into your most aligned self to find happiness.
[14:16] How do you stay true to yourself and what you want while honoring other people’s opinions?

186: Trusting Your Intuition and Living as Your Authentic Self with Dr. Carolyn Kurle

Simona Costantini — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 07:30:00 -0400

This week I deep dive with my guest Dr. Carolyn Kurle on how we can tune out the noise of other people’s expectations and listen to our inner truth.

Dr. Carolyn Kurle holds degrees in Zoology, German Literature, Wildlife Science, and Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. She is a tenured biology professor at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).

Dr. Kurle teaches hundreds of UCSD students every year. Working with these remarkable people helped inspire her to write The Guidance Groove as numerous truly outstanding, brilliant, hard-working, and beautiful UCSD students struggle with feelings of inadequacy, obligation, scarcity, and unworthiness and exhibit many of the behaviors that stem from adherence to the Unproductive Grooves detailed in her book.

We never quiet our minds completely, but we can learn to recognize when our false thoughts steer our choices, then choose instead to act from a place of authenticity. Then, we can navigate life from a place of authentic wholeness, and ease, contentment, and joy will naturally arise.

We dive into:

[0:50] What does happiness mean to Carolyn
[3:42] How do we figure out what our truth is versus the noise and influence of other people
[11:25] How can you overcome the fear motivators in your life
[17:53] Learning to tune in to our truth through our biology
[24:02] Signs we can look for that we’re trusting our inner voice
[30:39] Tangible ways of getting over the fear and judgment that comes from living as your true self
[41:18] A peak into Carolyn’s book and 1 key takeaway from it
[46:24] How can someone create a little more happiness each day starting today

185: Finding Financial Freedom and Peace with Lewis Crompton

Simona Costantini — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 07:30:00 -0400

When you think of financial peace, what does that mean to you? Is it something that even seems within your reach? Or does it feel like there are mindset blocks that keep you from finding freedom within money?

My guest today is Lewis Crompton who is a Bloomberg-recognised Trader who used to teach on behalf of Rich Dad Poor Dad. His passion is to teach people how to create financial peace in their lives by empowering them to make their money work hard for them.

To do this, Lewis created the STARTrading Method which allows his students to trade with little downside and great upside. The best-performing students spend as little as 30mins per day trading in order to generate between 5% and 10% returns monthly. All with low time commitment, minuscule downside, and high upside.

Lewis’s unique background as a former Christian counselor therapist who moved into trading really informed his view on money and making money. He believed he always was going to be poor and that was the end of the story that he had told himself and it wasn’t until he examined that belief that he realized he had the power to tell a different story.

We’re going to talk all about:

[2:12] What does happiness mean to Lewis
[4:51] Why does he appreciate getting sick
[8:05] The transformations he helps people with
[12:13] Money blocks he sees from people
[14:08] The biggest transformations he’s seen in clients
[29:05] How to get more information about his programs
[30:22] Lewis’ advice on how to create more happiness each day

184: Are You on the Wrong Path?

Simona Costantini — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 07:30:00 -0400

Have you been struggling with the idea of being on the wrong path? It’s something that’s very natural to wonder about, and easy to go down a rabbit hole of second-guessing our choices.

In this episode, I share with you how I evaluate the choices I have made and the very real process of uncovering new revelations that change old beliefs I may have had about myself, leading to the realization my old choices may no longer be in alignment.

If you’ve been finding yourself in a similar situation, I want you to find comfort in knowing you are not alone and that nothing is set in stone, and everything can still be changed even when it seems impossible.

I’m going to get into:

[1:45] Am I on the wrong path?
[2:06] Making the most aligned choice
[3:45] What are we basing our choices on?
[7:35] So what do you do with this awareness you’ve cultivated?
[8:21] Making choices from fear, lack, and feeling selfish about our choices.
[12:54] Finally feeling acceptance and then asking for signs.
[15:28] The value of relationships that affirm us in our choices

Simona Costantini — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 07:30:00 -0400

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to feel worthy with my guest Sandra Chuma.

Sandra grew up in a tiny mud hut in Zimbabwe without running water or electricity at a time when the country was segregated and she remembers struggling to understand why she couldn’t play with kids who had a different skin color than her.

But she also remembers the magical times spent with her grandmothers around the kitchen fire, as they shared folktales or ‘ngano’ as they are known in her native language of Shona. Through these stories, her family instilled in her a belief that even more was possible for her than what she could see or imagine. Even though sometimes you may have to fight to be seen, to be heard, or to feel like you belong.

These beliefs have informed her life and have provided the foundation for her business, I Am Worthy.

175: Navigating an Existential Crisis on My Own and Welcome to Season 3!

Simona Costantini — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 09:41:00 -0400

Well friend…it has been a HOT SEC since I’ve rolled into your feed with a new podcast episode. Actually, almost one ENTIRE year.

What was meant to be a one month break turned into an almost year-long hiatus, but TBH, I needed it.

I needed a break. I was worn out, burnt out, not creative, dealing with a whole ton of stuff, clearing out stuck and old energy, and literally *so much more* that I talk about in this episode.

The truth is, sometimes we need a break. And even when we plan for that break to be short, you know as well as I do that Spirit and the Universe has a different plan for us.

And this journey was meant to happen, so that I could come back with a fresh perspective to uplevel the conversations we’re having here, and ultimately help you uplevel your life.

In this first episode back, we’re getting into the nitty gritty of moving through an existential life crisis…yes, I had one, in my mind, while everything else looked fine on the outside.

I’m really grateful to share that I’m now on the other side of it, and I’m grateful for the lessons that I can now share with you here.

We get into:

[3:38] Where I’ve been
[5:15] Who is Simona?
[7:25] What I’ve learned during my Happiness Happens hiatus
[11:13] What it’s like having high functioning anxiety
[14:13] How to let go of control
[17:30] Why it’s important to face challenges during our healing journey
[19:44] What's coming for the Happiness Happens podcast and brand

Simona Costantini — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 07:30:45 -0400

It’s no secret that we internalize other people’s stories about us as truth. So much so that oftentimes we believe what they’re saying and create it as part of our reality.

What can you do when you’re feeling uninspired?

This is a theme and feeling a lot of people have experienced over the last few years, myself included. It’s not that we’re being ungrateful for what we have and all we’ve accomplished, it’s more that we get so into our day to day routines, that most things become mundane and step and repeat.

163: How to balance masculine and feminine energy with Petia Kolibova

Simona Costantini — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 07:33:00 -0400

How do we balance our masculine and feminine energy? There are so many differing opinions when it comes to this, which is why I want to highlight it in this episode. I know for myself, I tend to steer a little bit more in my masculine energy on most days, just because of the nature of my work.

I want to invite you today to consider looking at both sides of your energy. We have both masculine and feminine energy that we can bounce between at any given moment. This conversation was a gentle reminder that it gets to be in flow, and most ideas come from that place of grounded, feminine energy.

Joining me for this conversation is Petia Kolibova, a women’s transformation coach who helps women who have been pushed down and been playing it small due to toxic relationships or unhealed childhood trauma to create a life that is true to them and their soul purpose.

Her mission is to help women who are on the path to healing from past wounds move through their limiting beliefs and internal blocks so they can finally do what they want to do, what feels good to them, and serve other women in a powerful way online.

We get into:

[3:15] What happiness means to Petia
[8:05] How to find happiness in our current situation, and the anxiety that comes with living in a fear-based society
[10:00] How pain pushes and vision pulls
[14:05] How to lean in and really trust
[28:15] The power in following your intuition

150: Tapping into Your Power as a Modern Woman through the Layered Living Planner with Brittani Hunt, Co-Founder of HerSpace Co.

Simona Costantini — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 05:30:00 -0400

How do you devote time to yourself as a modern woman?

With kids, relationships, careers, and more, it’s easy to lose ourselves in the process, and become a shell of the person we once were.

HerSpace Co. is aiming to change this narrative. It’s co-founded by Brittani Hunt and Tanisha Carothers and began to take form almost 10 years ago – long before it even had a name. From women's conferences and retreats at hotels to workshops on college campuses, Brittani and Tanisha found themselves creating and holding space for the modern woman.

They realized what has been calling them since 2008 - creating a space where the modern woman can be and become...A space where she could be challenged and celebrated....A space where she could rest and roar...A space where she could make magic and make meaning.

HerSpace Co. is that space. It is indeed her space. It is created for modern women by two women who know what it feels like to need a space to call your own.

Join Brittani and I as we go into:

What happiness means to Brittani
How HerSpace Co was created
Why we should devote time to ourselves as modern women
What it feels like for Brittani as a woman of colour to be changing the narrative in her own space
The Layered Living Planner and how it’s a planner for all areas of your life

149: Why Setting Intentions are More Effective Than Setting Goals with Simona Costantini

Simona Costantini — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 05:00:00 -0400

I'm so excited to be on the podcast with you this week for the very, very first episode of 2022! I can hardly believe that we're already here, and that we're in a completely new year. Time just continues to fly by and it blows my mind.

This week, we’re talking about why setting intentions are more effective than setting goals. It might feel a little bit controversial, and it’s definitely an unpopular opinion. But I wanted to bring it to light anyways, because January is the start of new beginnings for a lot of us.

It's the time where we set our new goals, new workout programs, new eating regimens, but one thing that I think we often forget is what our intentions are for the new year. We're so quick to set goals and we're so quick to set milestones, but what are the intentions and the feelings that we want to bring into this new year?

We get into:

Why goals can be too structured for spiritual entrepreneurs
How to differentiate between goals and “to dos”
Setting intentions that support your goals
Why goals are deeper than hitting a target
My intentions for 2022

148: Three things I've Learned in My First Year of Business with Simona Costantini

Simona Costantini — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0400

I can’t believe 2021 is coming to an end! It feels like it has come and go so quickly. This week, I wanted to talk about three things that I've learned in my first year of business, and what's happening in 2022.

It blows my mind to see all of the transformations that have happened through my journey. But also my clients, my friends, my community, my loved ones, my family, my husband -- everyone. I'm so grateful for all that's happened, the good and the bad (and trust me, there have been a lot of ups and a lot of downs).

I started this year off by leaving my corporate job and I'm ending the year by rolling into a six-figure year in my first year of full-time business.

Whether you're an entrepreneur or not, today’s tips can be very helpful as you're navigating your career, job, relationships, family, and everything in between.

I talk about:

How self-trust can make or break you
Why anticipating change will help you succeed
Why it’s important to trust your intuition when it comes to clients, and when to know that it’s time to break up
Prioritizing your own health and business growth
Remembering that you have the answer you need within you

147: My 3 Tips for Getting In Tune with Spirit with Simona Costantini

Simona Costantini — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 14:07:11 -0400

I have been on a spiritual journey for the last three years, give or take. I wanted to share some things about spirituality and tapping into your own spirit team that I've learned along the way.

I've shied away from having this conversation in the past because there are so many people out there that have so many different opinions about spirituality, about how to be spiritual, about the things that “qualify” you as a spiritual person.

And it actually can be very intimidating for people to tap into this part of themselves because there's so much fear and judgment around learning more about your spirituality.

So today, we’re changing the narrative and giving you the permission to get to know yourself on a soul level. Believer or non-believer, I guarantee you will take something away from this episode.

I dive into:

Opening yourself up to receive messages from spirit
The gifts you receive by getting in tune with yourself
How to ask, look for, and receive signs from the universe
Uncommon tips to get quiet and listen to messages your spirit team has for you
Why validation from other people is not the answer

What do we do with our feelings when we're not feeling good enough? That’s what we’re answering in this week’s conversation!

I dive into:

How this conversation was triggered by me not feeling good enough about my podcast
Why you’re not alone in how you feel
5 tips to transform your mindset around not feeling good enough
Why “better” doesn’t actually exist
Why looking for validation outside yourself doesn’t help

Well friends, we’ve made it to my 30th birthday! When I started my podcast, it was at the start of my Saturn return when I was 27 -- and I can’t even believe where I am today.

Simona Costantini — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Let’s think about this: you’re feeling great, life is going “according to plan”, and nothing can shake your mood -- then you’re hit with the darkest emotions you’ve ever felt out of nowhere, and everything comes crashing down around you.

Now it may sound dramatic, but this is exactly how I felt into 2021 and it took me months to rebuild from the dark place I was in. Of course, I learned a lot along the way, which is why I’m sharing it with you in this week’s podcast episode.

141: How to Find Security Within Ourselves with Simona Costantini

Simona Costantini — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0400

This week’s podcast episode is a solo episode with me, your host, Simona!

I’ve learned a LOT over the last year and have faced so many inner challenges that I’ve had to continuously bring to the surface and move through so I could really heal and step into the next phase of my life.

I learned this year that I have serious control issues and that’s here my fear of letting go comes from. I hate making mistakes and I let this fear control and take over my life in so many areas.

I hit burnout, hard. And then the sadness and darkness set in so quickly, I couldn’t even catch it. While I’m in a much better headspace now, I wanted to do an episode about how to find security within ourselves, especially when everything externally feels chaotic and out of control.

I dive into:

How burnout and stress creeps into the body
Why internal security helps you make sound business decisions
Why hiring on my team was really hard for me and how I moved through it
My 3 tips to help you find lasting security within yourself
How I practice self care (it’s not the cookie cutter answer you’re expecting!)

136: Embodying the Feminine and Getting into Alignment with Hilay

Simona Costantini — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 04:00:00 -0400

In this week’s episode, I chat with Hilay, a feminine spirituality coach who works with female entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, and women who are ready to fully claim their authentic power.

She is trained in Feminine Embodiment, Neurolinguistic Programming, Authentic Relating & Circling, and Behavioral Psychology.

Hilay’s journey started out in corporate America in 2016. After an experience with sexual harassment with a high profile client, she fell deeply into a state of anxiety, emotional dissociation, and unworthiness. Within 2 years she quit corporate to “find herself” and then spent nearly a year traveling, working in hotels & restaurants, and searching for soul purpose.

She didn’t officially find what she thought she was looking for and felt the pressure of returning to “normal life” for the sake of her conservative, immigrant parents. Because of this, she returned back to the 9-5 with a side hustle in health and wellness until she was called to feminine spirituality. In pursuing this passion, she was able to create a 6-figure coaching business in less than one year.

Listen in as we talk about:

The signs of anxiety that it was time to leave corporate America
How traveling gave her the experience and perspective she needed
Tips to tap into your energy to embody joy and purpose
How to get your life back into alignment
Ways to learn what being in alignment feels like
Why we should honour the rejection we feel within our bodies
Operating your life and business from feminine energy

She has dedicated her life to change work and it’s her absolute passion! Nothing makes her happier than helping beautiful women recognize their true worth.

However, as a therapist, she often questioned why it took so long for her clients to reach their outcomes or overcome their challenges. They would get stuck in their story and allow it to fully consume them at an identity level, hindering them from progression.

Through her coaching, she helps ambitious, purpose-driven women, dive into their subconscious minds and break through those limiting beliefs, easily and effortlessly. They learn to fall in love with themselves again and manifest a reality they are excited about waking up to every morning.

She takes a holistic approach to healing utilizing EFT, hypnosis, NLP, and time techniques.

What is NLP (neuro-linguistic programming)

125: Why I Needed a Break and a Reset

Simona Costantini — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 04:00:00 -0400

I took my first-ever hiatus from my podcast since starting it in 2019! It was a really hard thing to do, but completely necessary, because I was moving through a season that required me to be present and doing “the work”.

Happiness isn’t always about being happy 24/7. It’s about noticing when things are not necessarily going to plan, or are aligned with what you truly want, and working through it in a healthy way.

For me, I wasn’t working through it in a healthy way. I was pushing my boundaries way more than I had capacity for, and I needed to stop what I was doing so I could come back home to myself.

A lot of growth has happened in that time, so be sure to tune in to this week’s episode for more on:

What was going on behind the scenes that sparked this pause
Why I feel like my show lost its integrity
How I envision my podcast continuing to expand
The mental health struggles I have been facing
Unforseen emotions and navigating through them

124: Living in the "In Between" of Emotions with Simona Costantini

Simona Costantini — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 14:59:32 -0400

This week's solo episode is short and sweet, and we are talking all of things emotions in business and taking space.

I wanted to touch on this topic because I think that there's so much in the collective energy, in entrepreneurship, in being a business owner that it feels like you constantly have to have the answers. You always have to be go, go, go, and you always have to know exactly what the right thing to do is at all times.

In some sense, yes, it's really important. Especially as you're running a business, or if you have a team.

But what happens when you don't feel like you can hold that space, or what happens when you don't feel like you can show up the way that you want to every single day?

This is what we talk about today:

- Taking space when you need it - How to honour the season you're in - Why you shouldn't try and change your emotions - How to process what you're going through

117: The Ultimate Guide to Launching Your Podcast with Simona Costantini

Simona Costantini — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -0400

This podcast touches on so many topics to help you better your life and business, so this week we’re talking how to launch a profitable podcast.

I’ve created an incredible freebie that you can download, that’s called The Ultimate Guide to Launching Your Podcast in 8 Weeks. You can find the link to snag your copy in the shownotes.

I created this freebie because the number one thing I hear from my clients and from people who want to start a podcast is “where do I even start”? So, I combined some of my best tips to help you take the guesswork out, so you can stay doing what you love, which is creating the podcast of your dreams!

So this week we’re chatting about how to launch a podcast. While I can’t give you all of my tips in this episode, I’ve broken the main ones down into 3 categories.

Lay the foundation
Know your audience
Have a launch plan

When I plan launches for my clients, I create a two-month launch plan. This ensures a warm audience, and lots of time to create the assets and content you need. I know you’ll want to launch as soon as possible, but without the right plan in place your launch risks not having the kind of impact you want it to.

If you’re looking for more guidance on how to launch, grow, monetize or manage your podcast, feel free to book a 30 min discovery call in the shownotes.

I also offer consultation calls, which you can also book at the link in the shownotes

Simona Costantini — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 19:12:54 -0400

If you don’t take action, you’ll stay where you are.

Where you were a year ago vs. where you are today, are two completely different scenarios. However, you choose how you want it to go.

We are such incredible human beings if you really think about it.

We can take an idea, create something that has never existed before, and is so deeply unique to who you are. You’re taking your idea and transforming it into something someone will use in their life every day, and you really make an impact.

You’re changing the way they’re thinking, you’re opening up their way of viewing the world. You’re making it easier for them to accomplish their dream or goal.

But ultimately, it comes down to an idea. It comes down to a belief. It comes down to the idea that the belief is worth executing.

Without your core, inner belief and knowingness that you are and have every single thing that you want in your life, it becomes really hard to bring your ideas to life.

There’s a reason why we expand, there’s a reason why we grow, and there’s a reason why we continue to evolve.

Why?

Because the more we learn, the more we can help and expand the lives of other people - regardless of your industry or service.

Ultimately, you’re bringing value to other people who need to see and hear what you say and see what you do.

104: Rediscovering Your Play with Jeff Harry

Simona Costantini — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wanted to find more play in your day, but you just aren’t sure how? This week on the podcast we have Jeff Harry, who shows individuals and companies how to tap into their true selves, to feel their happiest and most fulfilled — all by playing. Jeff has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff to infuse more play into the day-to-day.

Jeff is an international speaker who has presented at conferences such as INBOUND, SXSW, and Australia’s Pausefest, showing audiences how major issues in the workplace can be solved using play. Jeff was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers of 2020 for his organizational development work around dealing with toxic people in the workplace. His play work has most recently been featured in the NY Times article: How Do We Add More Play To Our Grown-Up Life - Even Now. He has also been featured on AJ+, SoulPancake, the SF Chronicle, and CNN.

While we spend most of our time pretending to be important, serious grownups, it's when we let go of that facade and just play, that the real magic happens. Fully embracing your own nerdy genius — whatever that is — gives you the power to make a difference and change lives. Jeff believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world.

We spoke about how to find value in what you’re doing every day, but also how to welcome in more play, more joy and more purpose to your actions and intentions.

Jeff shared with us what it’s like working with some of the top companies, and how they leverage play to incite some of the most revolutionary ideas.

He teaches us that when we tap into what brings us true joy and happiness, we give permission to others to do the same.

In this episode:

What play is
How playing allowed Jeff to work with some of the leading companies in Silicon Valley
Steps to navigate toxic people in the workplace
Three tips to connect with your inner child and play more
How to release expectation around playing
Transforming “shoulds” into what resonates with you through play
How companies can integrate more play for employees

103: 5 Tips to Make 2021 Your Most Aligned Year Yet

Simona Costantini — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 02:06:23 -0400

Simona announces her new series called Align Your Mind starting on January 11. It’s a morning motivational series for life, business and purpose.

Simona also talks about the changes happening in her life and business, and how she is continuing to transform her mindset in challenging times.

The purpose of this episode is to dive deep into mastering your mindset for 2021 and leave you with five actionable tips to make your year the most powerful yet.

1. Honour where you've been, and where you're going. Find gratitude in the hard times so you can appreciate the good time. Not every day is sunshine and rainbows, some days are really hard. Take the time to honour your space and where you are right now, even if it's not where you want to be. You do this by creating and practicing a routine that helps you get back into alignment every day, but being consistent in showing up for yourself. What are your non-negotiables? What are the things you must do every single day in order to recalibrate into a higher vibration? Figure out what those things are - it can be meditation, reading, writing, journaling, creating, exercising, walking, cooking a delicious meal, or watching a show that brings you joy. Notice what those things are and incorporate them into your day, every day. Sometimes you'll fall out of alignment, and sometimes you'll come back to alignment, honour each season and don't get hard on yourself for coming out of flow - you're meant to fluctuate, it's about how do you bounce back?

2. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You can spend 2021 thinking about how hard 2020 was, or how frustrating the residual effects of 2020 are, but ultimately nothing will change in your life until you hard stop and make it change. Are you playing the victim in your story, or are you the main character? Are you creating your life every day or are you sitting by and watching other people, feeling jealous or envious of their success? No one is luckier than you, no one is more deserving - you have to take the action to change what it is you're unhappy with so that you can grow this year. Take the leap, take the chance, feel into the fear and do it anyway. Unless you take ownership for your feelings, actions and outcomes, nothing will change and you will find yourself at the same spot this time next year. All action is good action, no matter how big or small. What will you do differently and how will you use what you learned in 2020 to navigate and pivot into 2021?

3. Support. Ask for help when you need it. Asking for help is hard because our ego tells us that it's weakness. The reality is that when you're stuck in something, whether it's mindset, business, a plan, or hesitating on moving forward, the longer you ignore that you need help, the longer you'll stay stuck in where you don't want to be. There's no shame in asking for help or reaching out to someone you trust, whether that's a coach, friend or mentor, if you need support. This year, recognize when you need help and don't be ashamed. You'll progress quicker and blocks won't seem so overwhelming.

4. Dream. Have you given yourself the chance to dream about what 2021 can look like, or what you want it to look like? It's so important to let your imagination go wild, and dream up the boldest possibilities. It also helps to do this when you're relaxing and winding down because your mind tends to be less clouded with your to do list. Think about your dream for this year, and all the actions that you need to take in order to align to this.

5. Pivot. One thing 2020 taught us is that sometimes we need to pivot, especially when we least expect it. Whether it's brainstorming a new idea, launching a program, or trying a new resolution, if it's not aligning to you or what you truly want, it's okay and safe to pivot. There's no one way to do business, to change your life, or to start something new. The key is to recognize when it's time to pivot and listen to your intuition. What's your soul saying?

In this episode:

How you can honour your past and present
How to recalibrate into a higher vibration
Reframing negative experiences to see the good
Reframing the shame associated with asking for help and support
Creating your dream with alignment and intention
Pivoting in support of your life and business

096: Addiction, Validation and Confronting Your Truth with Alyssa Rocco

Simona Costantini — Sun, 15 Nov 2020 14:48:08 -0400

Alyssa is on a mission to create positive change in the world. She came to Handel Group seven years ago with a desire to change her career. After spending nearly a decade in the biotech industry participating in the launch of two successful life changing medicines for Cystic Fibrosis and Hepatitis C, she still felt like there was something missing in her life. After one session with a coach at Handel Group, she quickly discovered what was missing - she wasn't living true to her own dreams; she wasn’t happy; and she didn’t know how to become happy.

This realization inspired a journey: Alyssa became a coach, changed careers, learned how to date honestly, transformed the dynamic in her family, navigated addiction, and confronted how to create and maintain great relationships in her life. She brings a deep understanding of The Handel Method to the work she does with her clients and students at MIT. Her analytical mindset and process-oriented nature led to her work in the Media Division, and most recently, to build, test, and launch Inner.U, Handel Group’s first digital course.

In this episode:

Quieting your voice and looking outside yourself for validation
Her battle with bulimia and alcohol
Confronting truths to shed light to the dark side

092: Elevating Human Consciousness and Performance with Jack McCloskey

Simona Costantini — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 00:00:00 -0400

Jack's journey towards becoming a coach has been an eventful one. At Univesity, he was very much a party man, drinking and taking drugs without any real thought to it. He then went onto working in the city of London, and pretty much doing a similar thing.

He then escaped and went traveling to which he lived with the Monks for 5 days, which was a turning point into his own consciousness. After a quick stop working in Australia, he returned home and created a six figure e-commerce business within nine months. Throughout this whole process, he was dipping into spirituality, the ego, and finding out what his purpose is. This led him to shut down his E-commerce business, investing heavily in a mentor, and help other businesses grow by tapping into their higher self and living a more fulfilled life.

084 - Following Your Passion through Creativity, Cinematography and Photography with Zain

Simona Costantini — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 01:09:27 -0400

Zain started out as a Graphic Designer in 2006. When he started college, he was actively engaged in graphic designing, but one class opened his creativity, and the way he looked at art had been completely changed. Prior to the course, he assumed that art was something no more than an aesthetically pleasing painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography.

At the completion of the course, he began thinking of art in a different light. Photography means to paint with light and he soon realized that there was more to photography than pressing a button. He realized the goal of an artist is not simply to create a beautiful picture, rather express opinions, ideas and feelings to a viewer. This is when he began to think of art as a movement of the soul and mind that is brought to life through his work. He has a decade of his photography journey in magazines, fashion, editorials, commercials, and brand companies.

In this episode:

How Zain got in to videography and making films
Keeping your originality in a creative industry
The process of filming and editing films
His newest short film, Amber
How to create personas
The process of creating genre-specific films

Years later, she learned how to properly sing and gained the knowledge she needed to go to college where she pursued studies in music therapy. In college, Val was apart of a couple bands, pop and jazz ensembles. She loves to talk, sing and to heal, so she created her podcast called Reflections with Val where she brings life, music and therapy together.

Simona Costantini — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 23:00:00 -0400

Comeback Snacks all started when Emily O’Brien went to prison. Before, Emily was an entrepreneur and social media professional, having created her own firm at a young age and enjoyed great success. Regrettably, addiction caused her to make some poor choices that culminated in a four-year jail term. As her sentence began, Emily made it her mission to transform herself, get clean, and make a positive difference during her term. “I didn’t know how I’d make a difference at the time,” says Emily, “but I knew I would find something I cared about that would benefit from a purpose-driven facelift.” Her web TV series CRIMINALLY-ACCLAIMED has also been launched on YouTube.

In this episode:

Emily's story of resilience, self-discovery, perseverance and grit
How Comeback Snacks was created, built and marketed while she was in prison
How she's changing the story for people who have been or are currently incarcerated
How following the path meant for her is taking her business to the next level in 2020

You'll love this episode with Jana Stern because it will teach you so much about the spiritual world. Jana is a certified Life Activation™ practitioner, metaphysical energetic healer, meditation guide, clairvoyant, and self love councillor.

She has been on a personal healing journey dealing with her unique version of mental unwellness & eating disorders for more than ten years.

10 years ago in treatment and seeing a number of doctors, therapists and councillors, Jana met a healer who gave her a multitude of healings & tools that had a majorly profound effect on her life. The impact on her mental state, her spiritual gifts and her ability to love herself for who she is was so big for her that she:

- no longer identifies with any of the aforementioned diagnoses, nor does she deal with those issues 99% of the time

- made it her life's work to learn these tools so that she is now able to pay the self-love forward to others to help them transform their lives too!

Using her gifts as an empath, she has become a power(light)house guide for anyone seeking to view their shadows and heal themselves. It is Jana's job to act as a Divine mirror for my clients, igniting the potential in them to deeply understand & better themselves on their own healing journeys.

In this episode:

The journey that brought Jana to where she is today
Creating a more conscious society technologically and astrologically
How our consciousness is evolving
How to understand and tap into your intuition

The importance of taking care of our energy

049: Changing the Conversation of Weight and Body Size with Founder of Big Girl YYC Erin Bogle

Simona Costantini — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 01:00:00 -0400

For Erin Bogle's entire life she has been big: in body and in heart.

For a long time, Erin apologized for her size by altering her life experiences. She missed out on so much because she didn't feel like the world was made for her.

In July 2017, she was searching for a place to belong. She had lost her father to cancer 3 months prior and was craving a safe space to exist - she needed community and needed to feel like she had purpose in this world after living through trauma.

She somehow made friends with grief and realized that she was done feeling like she didn't deserve to take up space in her body. Wellness needed to be a part of her life and Erin needed to do it without the focus of losing weight. So, she started to build a community called Big Girl YYC.

Within a few days of starting her Facebook page, she had over 100 people who wanted to connect. Flash forward two years, the Big Girl YYC community is 3000 strong.

Erin's mission is to be a voice for women who feel like they don't deserve a big life because they live in an under-represented body. As a size inclusive advocate, Erin is dedicated to making you feel heard because she believes we are stronger together, regardless of our size.

In this episode:

The journey that brought Erin to where she is today
How Erin made the switch to advocacy for women
The impact of her community
Changing the conversation about weight and body size
Shifting your mindset from not feeling like enough
Importance of advocacy, community and connection
How to help people feel seen
Biggest societal misconceptions about size
Understanding the root of judgemental thoughts and how to shift them

038: What Commitment Means

Simona Costantini — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 01:29:21 -0400

A lot of what we want to achieve in life boils down to commitment. How bad do you want that thing you can't stop thinking about? How much dedication do you have to achieve it?

This week on the Happiness Happens Podcast, we talk about commitment. What it is, why we want it, why we need it, and certainly how impacts so much that we have or achieve.

Even though we can be so committed to something, there are always things that make us fall off course, derail us, or distract us. Once we realize what those things are, we're able to continue on with our commitments as we originally planned. But what if we don't get back on track? Is there a reason why that would happen? There is, and in this episode I give you the reasons why this could happen.

We also talk about how to commit to something, what actions do we need to take? Is it accountability? Dedication? A combination of these, or maybe another reason entirely?

This episode will help you uncover how to be more accountable to yourself, to your goals and to what you really want to achieve.

034: Reframing Your NEGATIVE Beliefs!

Simona Costantini — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400

I'm so excited for this episode because it was inspired by my community, who took the time to submit six negative beliefs or stories they tell themselves, and gave me the opportunity to reframe them.

Sometimes we subconsciously tell ourselves stories and we don't realize the impact they have on us, or how they may hold us back. The goal of this episode is to help you change your perspective, reframe the way you look at challenges and to dive into specific topics to help you think differently.

We also go into how our limiting beliefs are rooting in feeling like we're not enough, not good enough, not qualified to do something or that other people are better than you. We also talk about fear, how it sneaks in, and what it does when you let it take over.

From body shame, to what we think about our businesses, this episode is filled with golden nuggets of information to help you transform your life.

033: Creating Your Life and Environment with Arsenio Buck

Simona Costantini — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 00:00:00 -0400

If you're ready to have your soul lit up and crack your mind right open, this is the episode for you. I spent an incredible hour chatting with Arsenio Buck, fellow podcaster, speaker and teacher.

Together, we covered so many topics on growth, self love, mindset, and the impact of chasing your dreams. We talk about the power of connectivity through social media and how this has impacted his entire journey, how to break out of the box when you're put into it, and living through intense and daily racial discrimination (all on his own, might I add).

If this isn't powerful enough, we also dove into dealing with family when they aren't supportive, handling other peoples' opinions of you, combating loneliness and finding peace with solitude and how to connect to your higher self without letting ego take over.

All of these combined make for an incredibly powerful episode about designing your life on your terms and, ultimately, the environment you want to live in.
