Nataly Kogan - Happiness Is a Practice","description":"<p><em>“The best teachers are those to whom the material</em> <em>they teach did not come easily.”</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nataly Kogan is a TEDx speaker, the CEO Of Happier.com and a recognised expert on the subject of happiness - so I’m super pumped to be able to get her onto the Stay Grounded podcast.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nataly’s story is an inspiration too. Born in the USSR, Nataly and her parents became refugees when she was just 11.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Making her way through numerous refugee camps, Nataly eventually arrived in the USA - excited about her ‘American Dream’.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Driven by the belief that she’d be happy if she accomplished a long list of goals, Nataly pushed herself to the top. She achieved huge success in her business and professional life, but after two decades of hustle, she burned out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Worse still, she hadn’t found the happiness she imagined, but instead hit a wall.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This was the trigger that made Nataly quit her high-profile executive career and start seeking out the small, micro-habits that when practiced daily, can fundamentally change the quality of your life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And it’s these micro-habits that Nataly shares in this podcast.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>“Happiness is a practice, not a feeling.”&nbsp;</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nataly and I first met at an entrepreneur’s retreat in the spring of 2017 and we instantly hit it off. Out of all the people I met that weekend, she was my favorite! Thanks to our shared commitment to spreading happiness, we had a lot to talk about!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And I was blown away by Nataly's insight and perspective. I loved how her entire message hinges on small, simple practices that make a huge difference - and her ideas are all scientifically-backed too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nataly’s goal is simple, but audacious. She’s here to inspire millions of people to make tiny, tiny, tiny changes to their routine that will help them live a fully, happier, more meaningful life. And in this podcast, you’ll discover some of her most powerful (and easy to try practices).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It’s a big claim, but I stand by it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This podcast contains ideas and insights that could change how you feel - for good. So brew a coffee, grab a notebook and pen, and prepare to be wowed.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>“You cannot give what you don’t have.</em></p><p><em>You can only give what you have.”</em></p>","author_name":"Stay Grounded Media"}
