Episode 27: How to increase your happiness

Why does it feel so hard to be happy sometimes? You may have wondered about happiness, and if it’s possible to become a happier person. I’m here to tell you that there are lots of ways to build your happiness (many simpler and easier than you could ever imagine). While some factors are out of your control, you can influence about 40% of your own happiness.


Turns out, we usually look for happiness in the wrong places and incorrectly assume what will bring us lasting fulfillment and joy. In this episode, I discuss the #1 predictor of happiness (it’s probably not what you think). Listen in while I dive into tips and tricks for improving and maintaining your happiness and creating a happier life!

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @sacred. NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @sacred.rose.healings 🎙️ 

Episode 73: Trusting Your Inner Wisdom: Reiki, Spirituality, & Self-Discovery With Caitlin Cohn 👏🏻 

On this episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m joined by Caitlin Cohn, certified Reiki Master and founder of Sacred Rose Healings. Caitlin shares her approach to energy healing, the connection between spirituality and psychology, and how we can cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves through presence, intuition, and self-reflection. 🌹 

We chat about the basics of Reiki, how energy healing works, and how Caitlin experiences her energetic work with clients. Caitlin also shares how aligning with the seasons can help us honor our natural rhythms, why learning to trust our inner knowing is a lifelong practice, and the powerful lessons she’s learned from leading a local girls’ group. Plus, Caitlin opens up about her own spiritual journey, the inspiration behind her practice, and her response to skeptics. 🥰

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to slow down and listen to what your body really needs, or wondered how to strengthen your intuition, this episode is for you. Stick around after the episode for Caitlin’s guided Root, Blossom, Grow Meditation too! 🧘‍♀️
