171: Rewriting the internal stories that impact our happiness with Ana McRae

Author: Simona Costantini June 7, 2022 Duration: 35:06

It’s no secret that we internalize other people’s stories about us as truth. So much so that oftentimes we believe what they’re saying and create it as part of our reality.

 

My guest, Ana McRae, is challenging this narrative, and shares why it’s so important to look deeply at the stories we believe to be true about ourselves. It impacts our happiness, our relationships, and our entire lives.

 

Ana is a life & business success coach for high level CEOs and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to accomplish more in life & business. After quitting her corporate job in the middle of a pandemic, starting her business with two kids under the age of 5, and scaling it beyond 6 figures working 15 hours a week while converting a school bus from start to finish into a luxury tiny house on wheels to travel full time, Ana firmly believes that whatever your dream life looks like, it is 100% possible for you when you go all in. 

 

Through her 1:1 coaching programs she supports ambitious women with getting clear on what they actually want, overcoming their limiting beliefs, elevating their energy, and staying focused on their wildest goals, so that they can lead thriving businesses & live fulfilling lives too.

 

We get into:

  • [1:00] What happiness means to Ana
  • [8:30] Debunking societal narratives around success and working hard
  • [11:15] The biggest misconceptions entrepreneurs have about happiness
  • [20:00] Key mindset shifts for entrepreneurs to make to achieve more happiness

We all ask those big questions about contentment and purpose at some point. Happiness Happens doesn’t treat those queries as abstract philosophy, but as a practical, weekly conversation hosted by Simona Costantini. Rather than offering a rigid formula, this podcast explores the many facets of a meaningful life through dialogues with thoughtful guests from various fields. You’ll hear from psychologists, artists, thinkers, and everyday people who have found unique pathways to fulfillment. The discussions are grounded in real experience, focusing on actionable insights that go beyond simple positive thinking. Each episode feels like a deep dive into a different corner of the human experience, whether it’s examining the role of community, the pursuit of creative passion, or the quiet practice of self-acceptance. Simona guides these conversations with a genuine curiosity, making complex ideas about well-being feel accessible and personal. The result is a resource that feels both expansive and intimately useful. Tuning into this podcast is less about searching for a single secret and more about gathering a toolkit-a collection of perspectives and practices that help you define what happiness actually means in your own life. It’s for anyone who believes that a more contented life is built from a series of conscious choices and deeper understandings, one honest conversation at a time.
