About this episode

Dana Hilmer discusses her journey in creating happiness despite personal struggles.

Happiness. We talk about it often on The Art 2 Aging for a number of pretty obvious reasons. First, life is a lot easier and more fun when we’re happy, especially as we grow older. Second, happiness doesn’t fall from the heavens. We have to create it within ourselves. Especially as we grow older. And third, creating our own happiness can be difficult. It doesn’t come easily in the 21st century. That’s why this week’s guest is unique. Dana Hilmer is a trained positive psychologist, executive coach and mentor. She’s the founder of Wiser and Free , designed to help people live lives with happiness, purpose, and freedom. But she’s way more than that. She’s one of those rare human beings who walks her talk .
