In this episode, Matt O’Neill reveals how to achieve “conscious happiness” even when life feels chaotic. He explains that the common belief of “I’ll be happy when…” is a deceptive trap that keeps us constantly striving but never satisfied. Matt reframes negative moods not as personal flaws, but as predictable functions of our “survival brain” that can be overcome. His solution is a set of simple, powerful habits—like gratitude and affirmations—that can be woven into your busiest days without taking extra time. This episode teaches you the skills to stop waiting for perfection and start being happy while life is messy.
