And on this show, we're going to give you an inside view of what we do at our signature bootcamp program to give you something you could work on in your own life just by listening to this podcast.

Last month, we looked into happiness. Like what kind of happiness lasts the longest and the myths about happiness that we chase and how happiness is like a muscle that we can exercise and watch it grow.

And it was a great start to 2019 and we highly encourage you to take a listen to those episodes if you haven't checked them out already.

Now, we're on to February a new month, which means we're going to dive into something different. And since February is always wrapped up in romance as in Valentine's day. Well, we thought to be a great time to take a look at relationships.

Ah, yes, relationships, the things that allow us to feel good, the whole concept of our emotional support and are also there can be our driver in the success.

And as we learn last month, they are the foundation of that happiness. We all seek now last month was all about happiness and in our two part toolbox episode. We looked at the science behind happiness.

We talked about how happiness is not synonymous with pleasure or comfort, which a lot of us have that misconception, but it rather comes down to living a meaningful life.

We also discuss the two major contributors to that meaningful and happy life purpose and relationships. Now, those two toolbox episodes are jam packed with information about the cutting edge research in the field of happiness.

So if you haven't already checked them out, double back and check out those episodes from last month.

Our interview last month was with none other than Dr. Russ Harris author of the happiness trap. Now he's one of the leading authorities in the field of acceptance and commitment therapy on which so much of our coaching programs are based.

So double back and check that episode out as well. The happiness trap is real and we want to help you overcome a lot of those myths.

And certainly one of the concepts that he talked about with values is going to play a role in what we talk about today because those values are very important.

And of course, when it comes to relationships, those values, if they're going to be similar, can really strengthen and help a relationship be a very positive.

And we also going to talk about what happens when we have some negative values being passed in our relationships. Now, we wrapped the month of January with the Q&A episode of which Christophe Snedlets CEO of high moment joined us to answer your questions.

It's a great app if you haven't checked it out already all around the science of happiness. Now this month we're excited to kick off our entire month dedicated to relationships.

As we heard last month, that is a major contributor to our personal happiness and well being this month, we're going to be tackling just that. What do we mean by relationships?

How do we build them? What's the science behind them? And of course, we have Valentine's Day coming up where relationships are on the forefront of everyone's mind.
