In this week's episode, I share a recent experience that left me with what I call a Happiness Hangover—a night so full of connection, music, and belonging that I couldn’t fall asleep simply because I was too happy. Through personal anecdotes and the Wisdom of past guests like Tom Cody, I unpack the difference between Anxiety-driven restlessness and the kind of fulfillment that keeps you buzzing with excitement. In this week’s Five Essential Questions, I’ll guide you toward creating more moments of joy and belonging in your own life.
Key Talking Points:
- What is a Happiness Hangover? The joy-filled exhaustion that follows an unforgettable experience.
- Top 10 Days: Why I categorize my most joyful days and revisit them for inspiration.
- The Power of Music & Community: How hosting a live music event with The Jonnybirds reinforced the importance of shared experiences.
- Belonging vs. Anxiety: Recognizing the shift from sleepless nights of worry to sleepless nights of pure happiness.
- Creating Space for Joy: Finding balance between spontaneity and intentionality in cultivating fulfilling experiences.

In 2021, Billy left his job as dean of students in order to travel the world in search of more meaningful life experiences. Since then, Billy has been focused on helping others navigate their own midlife crisis more mindfully through practical and intentional daily routines that focus on consistency, discipline, and mindful awareness.
