Finding joy in the world around us can feel impossible when we’re constantly bombarded by heartbreaking headlines. Tragic events, like the war in Ukraine and the Uvalde school shooting, have many of us feeling overwhelmed, distraught and perhaps even lost. But it’s important to remember that during the darkest times, it’s more important than ever to focus on where we choose to spend our time, energy and love. This week on FUELED, I share strategies that have worked for me, and ways to shift our perspectives so we can truly be the change we want to see in the world.LINKSPast episode: Choose Joy - with Ochsner psychologist David Galarneau, MD: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/choose-joy-strategies-to-de-stress-this-holiday-season/id1459883591?i=1000499440281Past episode: Why We Crave, Self-Sabotage & Stress Eat: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-we-overeat-and-how-to-get-a-handle-on-it-now/id1459883591?i=1000524960031 Learn more about your ad choices.

When it comes to the pursuit of success and happiness, we often assume that if we work hard, we’ll become successful, which will then make us happy. But a decade of research in the field of positive psychology has proven that this formula is backwards. This is the essence of “The Happiness Advantage,” a ‘required reading’ book for Ochsner Health that I absolutely loved. This week on FUELED, I share top takeaways from this fascinating read, including tips that each of us can start using now to fuel our success in work and life.

The aim of food marketing is twofold: Companies want to meet the minimum standards that govern their packaging and its contents and – perhaps more importantly to them – want consumers to pick up and buy their products. But buyer beware; many products make claims that are incredibly misleading – and often perpetuated by mainstream and social media. From a white rice claiming to be high protein to a seasoning promising a salt-free Bloody Mary, I share some “wolf in sheep’s clothing” items I’ve spotted recently and why it’s so important to read (and re-read) the small print.
