  • Happiness Reimagined: How to Be Happy for No Reason in Midlife

    Happiness Reimagined: How to Be Happy for No Reason in Midlife
    Jan 19 2026
    If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll be happy when things calm down” — this episode gently challenges that belief. In this heartfelt and uplifting conversation, Ashley sits down with happiness coach, speaker, and podcast host Jodi Silverman to explore what it really means to be Happy for No Reason — especially in midlife, when stress, loss, caregiving, and major transitions collide. Jodi shares her personal journey, the science behind happiness set points, and why joy isn’t something you wait for — it’s something you practice. Together, they unpack how stress robs women of happiness, why guilt often shows up when we prioritize joy, and how small, intentional habits can help women feel more resilient, grounded, and hopeful — even during hard seasons. This episode is a reminder that happiness doesn’t require perfect circumstances — and that choosing joy is not selfish, it’s necessary. 🎙️ StrongHER Voices is the empowering podcast helping women navigate their StrongHER Era with clarity, confidence, and the honest, expert-backed support they deserve. Hosted by Ashley Basilio — certified menopause health coach, fitness professional, and women’s wellness advocate. -- In this episode, we cover: ✅ What Happy for No Reason actually means — and why happiness isn’t dependent on circumstances ✅ The concept of a happiness set point and how it influences your baseline mood ✅ Why happiness can be learned (and strengthened) at any stage of life ✅ The difference between toxic positivity and true emotional resilience ✅ How gratitude practices physically rewire the brain ✅ Contraction vs. expansion — and how stress keeps us stuck ✅ Why stress is one of the biggest thieves of joy in midlife ✅ Navigating guilt around happiness during caregiving, grief, and loss ✅ Why accepting reality is often the first step toward feeling better ✅ How menopause and midlife transitions can actually support emotional growth ✅ A simple “dare” you can try this week to reconnect with joy ✅ How to measure and track your happiness over time -- 👥 Featured Guest Jodi Silverman — Founder & Chief Dare Officer of Dare On with Jodi, happiness coach, speaker, and host of the Dare On with Jodi podcast.
