Sandee Sgarlatahappinesssolved.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.
