We asked some of our favorite folks what makes them happy and why?

Dr. T. Ph.d. | The Prodigy of Sport Psychology

What makes me happiest is helping others achieve their personal best, both physically and mentally. There’s a deep sense of fulfillment in watching someone transform, not just in terms of fitness, but in how they carry themselves and approach life with newfound confidence. As a personal trainer and exercise psychologist, I love guiding clients through that journey of self-discovery and achievement. Seeing people overcome obstacles, realize their potential, and live healthier, more vibrant lives brings me immense joy. Read more>>

Julie Ouellette | Vintage Fun Finder

What makes me the happiest is meeting customers and creating relationships. I spend time curating pieces for my booths that bring happy memories to customers. When they stop by to see the fun vintage items, they remember a favorite aunt/grandmother/neighbor who had that same piece. Often they will share stories of where it was or what it meant to them. Typically they are sad they no long have it and frequently purchase to bring those memories back home. Being able to be part of someone else’s journey is so rewarding. Read more>>
