If you (or someone you know) are ready to be happier, this episode may be finding it's way to you at just the right time. It also happens to be the first episode ​where ​I've ​ever​ actually​ read a letter to you, word-for-word. Please allow me to explain... As I was ​preparing ​for ​my next live coaching session on "HOLISTIC HAPPINESS" for the Best Year Ever Coaching program, I came across an article I wrote in 2008 for B​liss​ Magazine, "How to Choose Happiness.​" T​he article (and this podcast episode) is​ based ​on a letter I received from Katie, a woman who was feeling hopeless, telling me about her depression and why she ​simply ​can't be happy.​ In today's podcast episode, y​ou'll​ ​he​ar​​​ me read Katie's letter, followed by ​my response, and then her final​, unexpected, and ​truly inspiring ​conclusion, about how applying the advice ​in my letter completely shifted her perspective, opened her eyes to new possibilities​,​ and enabled her to immediately begin to transcend her depression. I​ sincerely​ hope this ​episode ​​makes a profound impact for you, or someone you know​, the way that it did for Katie​.
