Summary

Why is it so hard for us to get into a mindset that allows us to just feel contentment and happiness in the life we've created? In this episode, Danielle discusses the "guilt" she feels for not being able to fully embrace all of the new, positive aspects of life this move has brought their family. If happiness is the goal in life, why is it so difficult for us to feel that ultimate emotion over long periods of time? Adam and Danielle break down the thoughts of Brene Brown, the ways we've been conditioned to never actually get content in a state of happiness, and why maybe, just maybe, moments of pleasure and joy are the actual answers to that for which we're searching.

0:41.2	didn't. I kind of for whatever reason, remember it coming across that way. Maybe you just said,
0:47.1	hey, I have this idea for an episode. No, I said I have an episode topic, I'll send you questions.
0:52.0	Okay, I for whatever reason, I thought you said I have an easy one and this was not

1:08.0	it was going to be easy and then I realized, no, not so much. Oh really, I didn't I did not think
1:14.8	it would be easy. I guess I just it's something maybe that I've been thinking about so deeply that
1:21.1	I was more ready maybe than you. By the way, did the dog eat your homework? What happened to your
1:25.6	sheet? Well, in our lovely podcast room, so the couch was propped up against the printer and

1:59.5	the idea of waiting for the other shooter drop that that idea that you can't really be settled
2:07.8	in a place of comfort and you know, quote unquote, happiness, which that whole word kind of
2:14.9	annoys me. But I can't get into this mode of just, okay, we're here. We're settled. There's
2:23.4	obviously going to be bumps in the road. But for the most part, like we have done a lot of good
