This is Happiness solved with America's Happiness Coach, Sandy Scarlotta.

Hello everyone and thank you for joining me today.

I'm so happy you're here.

I'm Sandy Scarlotta.

I was born in Virginia Beach and raised in the Baltimore Annapolis area and had very humble and tragic beginnings and as a result my life was a hot mess.

Thankfully, 33 years ago I got my act together and since that time I have dedicated my life to serving others and raising awareness that no matter what you've been through, you can choose happiness and live the life of your dreams.

Happiness solved is dedicated to giving you content that is empowering, motivational, inspirational and of course a dose of happiness.

It's my way to give back to the world and share other people's stories.

This thing called life can be challenging and my guests share their amazing stories, wisdom and life lessons that demonstrate anyone can choose happiness.

You see, happiness is a choice and the choice is yours.

Today's episode is amazing and I am so grateful for you.

Thank you for listening and don't forget to leave a review and follow me on social media at Coach Sandy Scarlotta.

Enjoy the show.

Vivian Nicole Tessler, so excited for this conversation. How are you doing today, beautiful. You are just like this ray of sunshine.

I'm doing so, so great and thank you so much. I mean, beautiful kind words, but thank you so much for having me on. I just have to say how grateful I am and how also excited I am to be having this conversation with you.

Well, thank you. I love talking to artists because I was one of those who dreamt about being on stage and singing and but would never in a thousand years get up on stage and do it.

You know, it's so funny because I've been asked the question so many times like when did the start for you and how like how did you get into this.

I always say that when you're an entertainer or an artist, it's a calling. It's something that happens like for me, it happened at the age of 10 years old when I just have my voice.

But I was I was a dancer prior to that. I started dancing at the age of six. So it was something that really, you know, it was always there and I, I mean, my story of how I started singing was kind of funny.

Yeah, I know. And I have actually have all my friends, my closest friends are not entertainers. So they always are like in awe of how this is possible. But then when I go into like the theater world, everybody's sort of the same. But my best friends, they're like, I don't know how you do it. I don't I don't know how this is possible.

Yeah, but you know what? Sometimes it's nice to surround yourself with people that have nothing to do with what you do for a living because you don't want to talk about it.

It's right. It's true. It's true. It's just you just you don't want to be on.
