Hello and welcome to happier.

A podcast where we talk about how to make our lives happier.

This week we'll talk about another reason

to use it or lose it, and we share many intriguing examples of one-word themes from listeners.

writer and producer living in LA and yes, Gretchench, I love the use of our one word themes for the year,

door and bounce. Yes. So before we launch in a few updates,

if you're listening on the day this lands, it is January 8th, and my new Habits for Happiness

course is in full swing. I am thrilled to announce a new way to join. This is the 90-day

habit kickstart. This is a new option that will allow you to try the course for

three months at a discounted rate. You'll get access to the full course experience in a condensed
