Transcript:

 

Hey there. You're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But as you all know now by now, I've taken over this week. My name is Jenna Edwards, and today I've been asked by Katie to talk to you about what I do that brings me happiness.

 

What's my big thing? And if you listen to the episode yesterday, I talked about finding what works for you and the biggest thing that works for me is going to sound so silly to some of you, but that's okay because it works for me and… it is surrounding myself with the color yellow.

 

It's so funny because I got a new job a couple of years ago and I was determined to not be known for wearing the color yellow every day because sometimes it can be really limiting. But, all of a sudden my coworkers were like, one day I didn't wear yellow and they're like, where's the yellow?

 

And I was like, oh gosh, I do have other colors in my wardrobe. But then I realized like, it's something that not only makes me happy, but the people around me.

 

So I always wear yellow. If you see me and I'm not in yellow, don't worry, but it's probably not a great day, potentially. Anyway, I discovered that years ago,  when I went through a really dark phase. As you all heard during my intro interview with Katie.

 

I went through something really traumatic, really dark, and I started to intentionally surround myself with things that made me happy. And the color yellow just started to be the beacon of light that I needed to break through that darkness in my head. And, it stuck.

 

And so now I literally, I mean, if you saw me right now, my curtains are yellow, I'm wearing a yellow sweater, there's yellow on my glass, like it's yellow. That is how I bring happiness into my life. 

 

And I would love it if you went to Instagram and posted on any one of Katie's posts and tagged me (@jennaedwardslife)  about what makes you happy. Like what do you do on a daily basis that brings happiness into your life? It would be so much fun to have that conversation because I want to hear what works for you.

 

You've been listening to Everyday Happiness where I've taken over for Katie. I'm Jenna Edwards and I'll talk to you tomorrow since I'm here all week. I hope your day is as happy as it can be.
