Tools and insights to awaken your natural capacity for happiness.

All of us share the desire for greater joy, meaning, inner-freedom and connection. But, many of us aren't quite sure where to start. 

Thankfully, there's a community of psychologists and researchers dedicated to unpacking the secrets of happiness. It's our belief that this information should be available to anyone consciously seeking to enrich their lives, so we have translated the science of happiness into short yet impactful coaching sessions. 
We hope to share the beliefs, habits and skills that nourish and awaken our natural capacity for happiness. 

A bit about us… 

 Alicia and Kass met while doing their Doctorates in Clinical Psychology. Alicia lives in Sydney, working in the field of positive psychology, and Kass lives in New York running her own life coaching business called Mind Coach NYC. 

We’re passionate about the information that we share, because we’ve tried and tested these ideas in our own lives, and hope that these ideas and concepts support you through the highs and lows of life too. 

It is our privilege - and sincere pleasure - to share this journey with you. 

 With Warmth, 

 Kass & Alicia xx

I don’t get enough oxytocin since I don’t really have any support from others and am not sure who really cares about me. (Not to depress anyone. I am grateful for the ones I know love me.) I don’t feel approved of by my mother and family so it’s hard for me to recognize when others really care for me. I’m finally realizing how neglected I was as a child thanks to meditating and slowing down my thoughts. The most torturous part of this is my negative self dialogue and fear based perspective. Mindfulness is the only thing that helps me relax and I’m learning how to love myself through the guided meditations. Thank you!

Support

I learned that I gotta do less and connect to get that good feels!

Oxytocin

This was a nice encapsulation of the physical and physiological aspects of how we feel stress and why but scant help in dealing with these things!

Where’s the help?

A support system can stop you from binge eating, spending unnecessary amounts of money, seeking temporary relief, etc. 

Dopamine < oxytocin 

Typically if a session doesn’t resonate with me, I don’t reflect on it. I simply move on. However this might be the worst 3 minutes I have ever spent with Aura.  The presentation was read rather than the presenter speaking in an engaging manner. It was read as if it was a race to the finish line.  Lastly, it gave a lot of data but no help. I would recommend passing by this one if you want to practice self-compassion.

Ugh 😑 

I leaned that oxytocin helps release stress but I am confused on how we can make it our selves. So kind of helpful kind of not.

Hmmm

Learnt that comfort and soothing is better when going through difficult times. 
It’s nice to feel like we belong and cared for to release intoxitocin over the long term and becoming less stressed. 

Stressed 

I thought this track was going to teach us about self compassion and how to exhibit or give oneself self compassion. I didn’t see that occurring with this track. 

Where was self compassion?

Seeking support and compassion from others and ourself beats retail therapy or eating because of brain chemistry. 

Short term gain vs long term 

Want to understand how or why self-compassion actually works? In this session we look at the science of self-compassion and how self-compassion affects our brain. Learn all about the power of oxytocin and how to actually make yourself feel better.
