In this episode of the Happiness Playbook Theories podcast, Ria Flanagan interviews Kevin Palmieri, host of Next Level University. Kevin shares his journey from struggling with self-worth and external success to embracing self-improvement and vulnerability. They discuss the importance of inner child work, the impact of childhood experiences on adult beliefs, and how finding purpose can lead to fulfillment. The conversation emphasizes that healing is a continuous process and that adversity can be transformed into an advantage. Key Points: Happiness is an inside job, not dependent on external circumstances. Childhood experiences shape our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. Inner child work can be a powerful tool for healing. Vulnerability and authenticity are crucial for connection. Finding purpose can drive personal growth and fulfillment. Setting smaller, achievable goals can build self-trust and confidence. Habit tracking can help maintain intentionality in personal growth. Adversity can become an advantage if approached with the right mindset. Healing requires being present with emotions and allowing them to guide growth. Connection with others is essential for healing and fulfillment.
