Happy 100th episode, HerMoney! To celebrate, we’re with Dan Harris, talking happiness, meditation and money. Dan is a longtime ABC News anchor, author of “10% Happier and Meditation For Fidgety Skeptics” (which certainly speaks to me) and fellow podcaster. We tend to think happiness is dependent on external factors … but science says, “Happiness is a skill. You can train your mind just the way you can train your bicep in the gym.” Dan certainly feels that way. He started his journey to meditation after an on-air panic attack in 2004. We talk about what to do with the negative voice inside our heads — especially where our finances are concerned. He even guides us through a meditation at the end. Kelly and I answer your questions on planning for retirement as a teenager (yes, you read that right) and exploring new ways to invest your money. P.S. We hope you’re enjoying our full week of Bonus Mailbags!
