Happiness Solved

Sandee Sgarlataโ€ขhappinesssolved.com
Welcome to Happiness Solved! I'm your host, Sandee Sgarlata. I've dedicated the last 34 years of my life to personal development. You see, 34 years ago my life was a hot mess and hitting rock bottom taught me a lot as I never dealt with the pain, grief, and multiple traumas I experienced as a child. The thought of anyone going through what I've dealt with in my life is the motivation and why I created this empowering podcast. The guests I interview are all experts in their respective fields and you can expect to hear inspiring stories, practical advice, and insights on how to cultivate joy and well-being in your life. Whether you're seeking to overcome challenges, improve relationships, or simply find more meaning and purpose in your life, this podcast will offer you a wealth of tools and strategies to help you achieve your goals. If this resonates with you, please rate, review and subscribe. Remember, happiness is a choice and the choice is yours! A little more about me: I've have been a certified life coach since 2004, a retired US National and International Figure Skating Coach, a gold medalist in ice dancing, a keynote speaker, two-time award winning and international best-selling author, and I've been inspiring others to create lasting happiness in their lives for over 20 years. Through my Peak Performance Mindset Academy, I offer group coaching programs and 1:1 coaching sessions. Visit www.sandeesgarlata.com for more information.
