In this episode, Megan & Jennifer are joined by Stephanie Harrison, bestselling author, podcast host, and founder of The New Happy, a movement grounded in the art and science of well-being. Stephanie holds a master’s in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, formerly led learning at Thrive Global, and her work now reaches millions through her podcast, newsletter, and widely shared visual art.
In this honest, moving, and deeply affirming conversation, Stephanie shares her journey from burnout to breakthrough, and why everything changed when she stopped chasing external validation and started redefining happiness on her own terms. She unpacks the difference between “Old Happy” (think perfectionism, productivity, and proving yourself) and “New Happy” (being who you are and using that to help others).
This conversation explores how to unwind harmful cultural narratives, why helping others is the heart of true happiness, and how Stephanie's viral visuals started with just a few basic shapes and a whole lot of meaning.
Stay tuned until the end for a special treat from Stephanie.
