Episode Description

I just got back from the International Positive Psychology Association World Congress in Brisbane, and I’m still buzzing with ideas that stretched how I think about well-being, purpose, and what it means to truly flourish.

This week, we're unpacking the big shifts happening in the world of positive psychology. Specifically, moving from individual optimization to regenerative systems that benefit our communities and the planet.

We'll explore how mattering, contribution, and collective thriving are becoming central to conversations about well-being. You'll also hear my reflections on burnout, fulfillment, and why podcasting continues to feel like one of the most meaningful ways I contribute.

What you'll learn:

  • What it means to move from a sustainable mindset to a regenerative one
  • Why “mattering” is a deeper, more actionable concept than just seeking happiness
  • The idea of positive psychology 3.0 and how it includes societal and planetary wellness
  • How fulfillment might be a better goal than fleeting happiness
  • Why expanding your perspective is one of the most psychologically rich things you can do

If you're someone who’s passionate about growth, but also curious about how that growth fits into something bigger than yourself, this episode is for you.
