What if happiness isn't something you find — it's something you remember?

In this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and life coach Terry Bean, creator of the children's book Abracadabra, to explore a simple but powerful idea: every child arrives in this world with an inner magic — a natural state of wonder, curiosity, and joy — and somewhere along the way, most of us trade it in for productivity, approval-seeking, and seriousness.

But that magic never actually left. It's just buried.

Terry and I explore why children are the least empowered demographic and what we can do about it, how happiness is a practice not a destination, the emotional scale and why healing isn't a straight line from pain to joy, the one morning ritual that can pre-pave your entire day, Terry's "emotional sunscreen" technique for walking into hard conversations with more calm and confidence, and what it really means to reconnect with your inner child.

This one will hit differently if you've ever watched your child light up with pure joy and quietly thought — I used to feel that way too.

The magic is still there. This conversation will help you find it.
