The Science of Happiness [5:41]
For millennia, psychologists studied only illnesses including anxiety and depression even though only 30% of the population had a diagnosed mental illness. When about 20-years ago, a professor decided that instead of ignoring 70% of the population he would integrate the study of happiness into his work.
Now, conventional wisdom and social pressures have made many women believe they must meet a certain criteria in order to be happy. But, Carin says it’s not true. Women may have been taught achievement will make us happier but research shows the opposite. Happiness should come first.
Surviving is not thriving!

Uncover Your Purpose By Listening to the Whisper of Your Soul [27:58]
Carin says there are three questions you can ask yourself to uncover your purpose.
What are my regrets? What am I jealous of other women about? What can I learn from my childhood dreams?
After exploring what gives you purpose start playing with your dreams. Picture yourself doing what you want to be doing. How does it feel to be doing it? How does your day start? Is there someone already doing what you would like to be doing? Look for mentors and call them. Little steps can help you realize big dreams.
You are the creator of your own life. Make it awesome!
