175: Navigating an Existential Crisis on My Own and Welcome to Season 3!

Author: Simona Costantini April 4, 2023 Duration: 25:02

Well friend…it has been a HOT SEC since I’ve rolled into your feed with a new podcast episode. Actually, almost one ENTIRE year.

What was meant to be a one month break turned into an almost year-long hiatus, but TBH, I needed it.

I needed a break. I was worn out, burnt out, not creative, dealing with a whole ton of stuff, clearing out stuck and old energy, and literally *so much more* that I talk about in this episode.

The truth is, sometimes we need a break. And even when we plan for that break to be short, you know as well as I do that Spirit and the Universe has a different plan for us.

And this journey was meant to happen, so that I could come back with a fresh perspective to uplevel the conversations we’re having here, and ultimately help you uplevel your life.

In this first episode back, we’re getting into the nitty gritty of moving through an existential life crisis…yes, I had one, in my mind, while everything else looked fine on the outside.

I’m really grateful to share that I’m now on the other side of it, and I’m grateful for the lessons that I can now share with you here.

 

We get into:

  • [3:38] Where I’ve been
  • [5:15] Who is Simona?
  • [7:25] What I’ve learned during my Happiness Happens hiatus
  • [11:13] What it’s like having high functioning anxiety
  • [14:13] How to let go of control
  • [17:30] Why it’s important to face challenges during our healing journey
  • [19:44] What's coming for the Happiness Happens podcast and brand

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.
