174: How to harness your inner power with Chris Plourde

Author: Simona Costantini June 28, 2022 Duration: 36:04

In this episode, we’re talking about how to harness your inner power. 

 

Whether it’s through the stories we tell ourselves, the conditioning we’ve experienced due to past trauma, or leveraging meditation, reiki and our breath, there are so many ways to own our inner power.

 

Joining me for this conversation is Chris Plourde. Chris is a coach, a businessman, a father and husband. 

 

He works with top athletes and well-known companies, organizations, celebrities, moms/dads and even military special ops. As a Former Master Trainer and Presenter, he created and presented content both nationally and internationally, on the mental and physical aspects of training for peak performance in all areas of life. As a former Chief Executive with Men’s Teams and Organizations, he has mentored many men to find their authentic self and create leadership qualities which they could bring to their families, communities and businesses.

 

He wants to help you gain clarity, establish personal performance habits, create balance and unleash your true potential in all areas of your life. He believes while the needs of every type of person may vary, the core concept is the same. The way you approach one thing in life is the way you approach everything in life.

 

We get into:

  • [2:00] What happiness means to Chris
  • [3:20] Why we put conditions on our freedom
  • [8:20] Where to begin with finding awareness in the imperfections
  • [12:20] Defining happiness and success now vs. before starting the healing journey
  • [19:05] The power of breathwork and harnessing our breath 
  • [30:10] How to create a bit more happiness in your day, every day, starting today

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.
