Welcome! Hosted by Rosaria Cirillo (Happiness Change Catalyst, Certified Happiness Trainer, Customer Experience Professional, and Laughter Yoga Teacher), in “The Happiness Contribution™ Show” we talk with incredible people about the various roles Happiness plays in our lives, and we share knowledge and practices about what contributes to our happiness and how we can contribute to others’ happiness as individuals and as business leaders. In today's episode, our guest is Houda Dortland, a certified Life coach and Happiness trainer. She is passionate about helping individuals who feel emotionally stuck and experience too much stress in their daily lives or at work. With over 22 years of experience in acute medicine, she has seen the effects of stress on the mind and body. Today she helps people to shift from stress to success and uses the science of happiness, #wellbeing, and #EFT (#EmotionalFreedomTechniques) to do so. I met Houda at beginning of 2022 first virtually as a fellow member of the Uppiness Game Facilitator and the HSA communities, then in person in June during the HSA Alumni meet-up and Happiness@work conference in Antwerp. In August, we started weekly calls as we became accountability buddies since we both are freelance entrepreneurs. And in November and December, she coached me on how to use EFT practice during the most challenging time of my life. As you may have heard in the solo episode 16, EFT has been really my lifebuoy in the most stressful moments during my husband’s illness, and I’m very excited to share this practice with you in this episode, where Houda also guides through the key steps of the practice with simplicity and empathy. Houda in 6 sentences: 💛 I am a wife and mother who loves life! 💛 I am a dreamer and thinker, passionate about well-being and happiness. 💛 I love exploring the world through food and fitness and chocolate 🙂. 💛 I hate: I don't think I hate anything, maybe dislike but hate? no. 💛 I wish everybody would take off their masks and start to show their unique greatness. 💛 To me, happiness contribution means contributing to the well-being and happiness of others. Change the I and U in WE. Here is a glimpse of some of the topics covered in this episode: 🌻 Definition of Happiness & her Yellow Factor Inward and Outward, 🌻 Value of energy, simplicity, and autonomy 🌻 Mental Fitness, 🌻 EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), 🌻 Sample EFT Practice 🌻 Life-changing book (affiliate link): The Big Five for Life  You can reach out to Houda at info@houdadortland.com ~~~ Connect with our host Rosaria on Instagram, Linkedin, and YouTube ~~ If you liked the show, we appreciate it if you share it with one person that may benefit from it too.

This episode is a bonus one to increase awareness for #pridemonth and represents an extract of our very first podcast in June 2021, focused on authenticity versus safety, pride, coming out, and the challenges faced by the LGBTQ community. What Exactly is Pride Month? Every year from June 1 to 30, all the members of the LGBTQ community and their allies celebrate their identities through Pride Month. They recognize their accomplishments and their struggles in maintaining their equality with the world. They celebrate this month by organizing various events across the world to progress their idea of equal identity and create awareness globally. I really only got to understand and feel empathy for the reality and struggles lived by LGBTQ people, through the conversations I had in the past with Anthony Hitt, who openly shared what it meant to be gay in Missouri in the late 80s-90s, how he didn’t even have the freedom to say a simple “I love you” to who he really loved, and how authenticity and coming out played a major role in his happiness.  I hope this episode contributes to your awareness as much as it contributed to mine. Anthony Hitt is president & CEO of Engel & Völkers Americas since January of 2014, member of Forbes’ Real Estate Council, recognized on the Swanepoel list of “Top 200 Most Powerful People in Residential Real Estate” for four consecutive years, noted as a Real Estate Influencer by Inman News and honored as a RIS Media Newsmaker. In this episode extract, we talk about:  🌻 #Happiness & love (and meaning of 3),  🌻 Authenticity versus safety, pride and coming out,  🌻 Most impactful books read: The Four Agreements  🌻 #Simplicity and what you take with you in case of fire,  🌻 Wheel of life and the #sunflowerofhappiness,  🌻 The Importance of #PLAY in our lives and more…  ~~~ Connect with Anthony on LinkedIn and on Instagram Connect with our host Rosaria on Instagram or Linkedin, and follow her YouTube channel here ~~~  The Happiness Contribution™ Show is available on YouTube as a webcast and on your favorite channels as a podcast.

Welcome to “The Happiness Contribution™ Show!  Hosted by Rosaria Cirillo (Happiness Change Catalyst, Certified Happiness Trainer, Customer Experience Professional, and Laughter Yoga Teacher), in “The Happiness Contribution™ Show” we talk with incredible people about the various roles Happiness plays in our lives, and we share knowledge and practices about what contributes to our happiness and how we can contribute to others’ happiness as individuals and as business leaders.  In this "Practice Episode" (5 to 15 minutes recording in which we share one practice that contributes to our happiness or increases our awareness) I guide you through the visualization of two different types of interactions, one which I call OW and one which I call WOW. Almost daily we interact with “companies”. These interactions generate emotions in us, and ultimately influence our happiness. When our experiences or interactions are enriching, we are happy, the employees we interact with are happy and we both start a ripple effect of happiness in the interactions that follow. Unfortunately, we are so used to doing that in auto-pilot mode that we lack conscious awareness of the impact these interactions have on our time, on our happiness, and on our subconscious purchase choices, hence on overall growth. By designing and having mediocre interactions, we are missing out both on economic growth and on a better life. We design and create the world we live in. We are all on the same journey. So why not make this journey as extraordinary as we can for each other?  ~~~ Connect with our host Rosaria on Instagram or Linkedin, and follow her YouTube channel here ~~~ The Happiness Contribution™ Show is available on YouTube as a webcast and on your favorite channels as a podcast.

Welcome to “The Happiness Contribution™ Show! Hosted by Rosaria Cirillo (Happiness Change Catalyst, Certified Happiness Trainer, Customer Experience Professional, and Laughter Yoga Teacher), in “The Happiness Contribution™ Show” we talk with incredible people about the various roles Happiness plays in our lives, and we share knowledge and practices about what contributes to our happiness and how we can contribute to others’ happiness as individuals and as business leaders. In this Happiness Shot (3 to 5 minutes short recording in which we share one insight and practice that contributes to our happiness) I talk about the remarkable benefits of Laughter for business. Did you know that just 10 minutes of daily laughter are equivalent to 30 minutes on the rowing machine and can have incredible health benefits such as:  ✅ stronger respiratory system and increased oxygenation, hence more concentration and better performances  ✅ reduced stress & related illnesses, because Laughter activates our parasympathetic system & reduces cortisol production  ✅ better mood and less anxiety & depression, because of the production of serotonin & endorphins  ✅ better digestion, because of the movement of abdominal muscles & diaphragm provide a gentle massage to all digestive organs, functioning as internal jogging ✅ healthy heart and better circulatory system  ✅ stronger immune system and less sickness because of the increased number of natural killer (NK) cells and interferon-gamma (IFN)  ✅ and so many more benefits, which makes one wonder why don’t we all just laugh daily like we shower and brush our teeth!  🤔 🌻What about you? Have you already experienced the amazing power of unconditional laughter?  🤔 Would you like to give it a try? 👉 Join us our FREE #laugherzoom Club. Just 15-20 minutes during which I briefly explain the benefits of Laughter and deep breathing and then we laugh together for 10-15 minutes, which is the time needed to our brain to release the #joycocktail and #doseofhappinesschemicals #dose Register on www.wownow.eu/Laugherzoom  🤔 Would you like to learn more about the benefits and opportunities for your team?
