Welcome to Roots & Routes: Exploring the Influence of Tradition on Life Choices - our final episode of our Return to Happiness series- “Security is an illusion”

We’ve talked about what we believe to be true about wealth, recognition and our definition of success. We’ve shared our personal perspectives and challenged you to consider your own values and how they serve you well or don’t. In this episode we examine how traditional ideas- both cultural and societal, influence our life routes to security, success and happiness.

In this episode, we take a break from our 4 part series for a brief intermission to provide a glimpse into who we are as people- to share our own strengths, and to talk about reframing depression by leveraging our strengths and embracing the power of the positive. We welcome Corey Weaver and Blair Deimerly Blake to join our conversation around depressional and our unique, perhaps even unpopular perspective.

Part three of the Return to Happiness series looks at how we view success, how it motivates us, how it impacts our sense of worth and how it influences our decisions.

Part two of the Return to Happiness series looks at how we view recognition and fame and how it enters into our values, impacts our decisions and motivates us.

In the Return to Happiness Series, Tammy Humpal and Javier Tuel kick off with an examination of personal values and how they impact and influence professional gain. Understanding what motivates us to be our best, and what holds us back is the focus of this conversation. They share personal success stories as well as offering considerations on how to evaluate your own insecurities and move forward with hope, joy and peace. Session 1 examines the illusion of financial security.
