Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

My name is Lisa A. Romano.

I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse.

I am a believer in the power of an organized mind.

My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness, rather

than living a reactive life.

May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope as you

spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

shouldn't be put in a box. Many of us think that happiness is about an experience. So we hit the

lottery or we get a raise or our girlfriend says, yes, she's going to marry us and we feel happy

in the moment. And then something

happens along the line. Somehow we end up feeling a little bit less happy. We end up feeling a

little bit more empty. And so our feeling of happiness is rather fleeting. But when we expand

happiness with something else?

And we think back to points in our life when we experienced happiness.
