Welcome to the Carousel of Happiness Podcast.On today’s episode, we’re going to celebrate the podcast’s one-year anniversary with a little bit of gratitude. That’s right, exactly one year ago this week we started this journey together and it’s perfect timing to reflect on how far we’ve come and talk a little bit about where we’re going. On today’s episode, I’m going to share how being at the carousel, specifically hosting the podcast, has changed my life for the better and how the carousel’s magic has wriggled its way into my heart and propelled me into a life I couldn’t have previously imagined. This episode is my carousel story. How my evolution as a human being has changed trajectory as a result of being pulled into the carousel’s orbit. How steeping myself in the energy of this place has changed my own energy, and in turn, my life.Do you have a story to share?
