229: Finding Happiness Beyond the Norm with Krystal Small

Author: Simona Costantini April 23, 2024 Duration: 27:02

In this week's episode of Happiness Happens, I’m joined by Krystal Small, a former occupational therapist who transitioned into entrepreneurship to create more personal freedom and fulfillment. 

We get into the importance of prioritizing oneself, especially for women, and the journey of stepping outside of one's comfort zone to discover true happiness. Krystal shares her personal transformation from a career in healthcare to starting her own business in health and wellness, highlighting the pivotal moments that inspired her to seek more from life.

The conversation also covers the Driven Mom Summit, an event Krystal is hosting to empower women to dream bigger and embrace change. The episode aims to inspire listeners to consider what happiness means to them and how they can pursue it by being open to new opportunities and redefining their goals and priorities at any stage of life.

  • 00:00 Intro

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.
