It is a powerful time to assess your habits, productivity, your energy and expectations of self. When do you feel alive? Happy? How could you feel that way more often? How could happiness be the journey not the destination. Together we hack our way to happiness. Penny Locaso is a former corporate exec and self described 'imperfect experimenter' on a mission to support us hack our way to happiness. She has written a book called HACKING HAPPY. You can find Penny and her resources here hackinghappy.co Penny shares tips, inspiration and experience to support us hacking our way to happiness. We discuss what happens when conventional success does not equate to happiness. Some of the great stuff: Alignment is living a life that is orientating me daily and doing things that make me feel alive. Bravely initiating life change is like turning up a light dimmer over a period of 2 years. Awareness grows on the personal impacts of values misalignment and taking responsibility for self and health. More compelling examples of less ‘work’ more creativity, more intention & impact.
