FAQs
CAN I CHANGE HOW HAPPY I AM?
Yes. Research confirms our ability to substantially change short-term and long-term levels of well-being by practicing particular regular habits and tweaks in attitudes.
IS THERE A SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION OF HAPPINESS?
Social scientists define happiness as the combination of how satisfied you feel with your life and how good you feel on a day-to-day basis.
WHY HAPPIER?
Happiness is an abstract concept that is difficult to understand and harder to achieve. Happier, on the other hand, is a relative improvement in your subjective experience. By simply changing the word, improvement becomes achievable.
WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS?
Positive Psychology is often referred to as the science of happiness or the study of what makes us flourish.
HOW WILL I INTEGRATE ANYTHING NEW INTO MY HECTIC LIFE?
The Happier Hour® Method was built for full schedules. You’ll learn quick, science-backed rituals and easy strategies like habit-stacking to create real change—without adding stress.
What does coaching cost?
Coaching with me isn’t therapy, but it’s grounded in the psychology of change. The Happier Hour® Method often helps people feel better, faster—with practical tools, weekly support, and real follow-through.
Sessions are $350 each, or $3,000 for a 10-session package. Package clients also get two free monthly check-in sessions after the weekly coaching ends—for added support as you integrate lasting change.
WILL PEOPLE IN THE WORKSHOP KNOW HOW HAPPY I REALLY AM?
No. The workshops are educational not group therapy. All participant self-assessments are confidential and password protected.
DO I HAVE TO SHARE PRIVATE INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF WITH OTHERS?
No.
Can I participate in a workshop or coaching if I have a mental health diagnosis?
The Happier Hour® Method—whether in workshops or coaching—is not psychotherapy. It’s not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace mental health care. If you’re struggling with a mental illness, please seek help from a licensed mental health professional.
If you’re currently in treatment, we recommend talking with your provider before joining a workshop or starting coaching. Many participants find that Happier Hour complements their therapy by helping them build mood-boosting habits and emotional resilience.
