How My Sister & I Saved Our Relationship
Your Happiness Is A Gift: The truth behind the tagline
Last week, my sister Mel and I stood on a stage in front of a sold-out crowd & said something that still feels a bit radical:
Your happiness is not selfish. It’s a gift.
And in our first-ever live recording of The Road Back Home Podcast, we unpacked that idea with honesty, laughter, a few wobbly tears and one powerful exercise that moved the whole room.
In this episode, we explore:
✨ Why we’re so conditioned to feel guilty for wanting to be happy
✨ How neglecting ourselves affects everyone around us
✨ Why happiness isn’t a luxury—it’s a responsibility
✨ A simple shift that can help you start reclaiming your peace today
We also share the origin story of this idea, reflect on our own journeys with self-work and invite you to try the same exercise we guided the audience through, one that just might change how you see everything.
Whether you were in the room with us or cheering from afar, I hope this conversation lands in your heart the way it did in ours.
Tune in for the honesty, stay for the goosebumps.
