Important Update for Our Listeners
Since 2016, The Happiness at Work Podcast has been a space for connection, curiosity, and meaningful conversation. Over 368 episodes, we’ve explored the many ways happiness, leadership, and purpose intersect across cultures, companies, and lives. We’ve learned from some of the world’s most inspiring thinkers, and I’ve been so honored to sit behind the mic as your host.
But the world has changed. We’ve changed. I’ve changed. And now, the podcast needs to evolve too. While we don’t yet know what the next format will be, we’re taking this moment to pause, reflect, and reimagine what comes next. This isn’t a goodbye—it’s a thank you. For listening, for sharing, and for believing in the power of happier, more human workplaces.
If you'd like to stay in touch, I’d love that.
