    #77: The "Happiness Trap" with Licensed Therapists from The Counseling Co.

    · Wellness For The Win Podcast

    This episode with the licensed therapists from The Counseling Co. is all about the "happiness trap" -- AKA, how our beliefs around happiness can get in the way of our expectations and also
 the difference between fulfillment and happiness. Are YOU truly happy in your life? Does being content mean you've "settled"?

    This is a loaded topic that applies to all of us! I hope you find value in this conversation!

    What we discussed:

    Happiness vs. fulfillment vs. contentment Does being content mean you’re “settling” for less in life How to stop striving for perfection / shifting expectations of what happiness “should” look like Acceptance is a practice - not a destination Tips if you’re struggling with comparison, especially on social media Comparative suffering – “well, this isn’t a big deal, but
” “someone else is going through something harder
” When reality doesn’t meet expectations in marriage What about when you’re happy with your life BUT it feels overly full / busy / overwhelming The power of saying NO and checking in with your values Tips for moms struggling with their identity in motherhoodHow to find happiness when you’re navigating a new normal // major life change (i.e. having a medically complex child, becoming a caregiver for an aging parent, etc.)
