If you want to unlock the secrets of an extraordinary life, Colleen Wachob is your ultimate guide. She is the co-founder and CEO of mindbodygreen and co-author (with her husband Jason) of the new book, The Joy of Well-being, a treasure trove of wisdom with insights into living a life filled with wellness and joy.

Our chat primarily focuses on connection and how nurturing your human connections and cultivating community will actually extend your life expectancy. We talk about how to cut out toxic relationships, focus on what brings you joy, and connect with like-minded people. Plus, we touch on her incredible new book and how it’s a roadmap for those seeking a life that resonates with their unique definition of well-being. Listen in because, trust me, Colleen is someone you want to learn from!

1095. How to Earn Your Happy

I am no longer a person who is defined by anxiety and depression. I owe this to my ability to seek out challenges and be highly resilient to whatever life throws at me. It’s easy to prioritize comfort and the familiar, but avoiding challenges will rob you of the joy and fulfillment you deserve. Scientific findings show that conquering challenges releases dopamine, and this rush of dopamine can be a powerful source of confidence and personal growth. Today, I encourage you to seek out new challenges, leave your monotonous routine, and foster an environment of resilience.
