    Little Happier: When One Song Can Express Contradictory Emotions
    Dec 23 2024
    The Fleetwood Mac song “Songbird” illustrates the truth that with a great artwork, its power often lies not in expressing a single emotion, but in speaking to various, and sometimes even seemingly opposite, human experiences.

The anecdotes are my fav part

I really like the dynamic of sisters sharing their life - but that it’s not only about being a mom raising a family - they also share stories from their parents, visiting them…and the career / adulting stories - plus sprinkled in parenting hacks. I just like the concept of a happier life overall (not just momming or career etc). Plus hearing about their creative career journeys has been fun too. I guess what I’m t trying to say - the anecdotes are my favorite part! :)

My favorite podcast each week!

I am a huge fan of the little happiness bursts and general life advice I get from Gretchen and Elizabeth! I've been listening for several years on another platform and it's my go-to Wednesday morning listen. I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better, week-by-week. From annual goals (e.g "21 for 2021") and habit-forming to understanding the tendencies of people around me and little life hacks, this is an amazing resource!

Fan For Years - I Always Come Back to Happier :)

Since 2017 I've enjoyed Happier with Gretchen and Elizabeth. An important ingredient in my consistent happiness recipe. I always end their podcasts feeling so much, well, HAPPIER!
