Happiness Researcher, Speaker & Joyful Visionary!

Combating loneliness,

Why Picasso can charge infinite amounts for a painting,

Finding true happiness,

Sharing your message on stage,

Boldly asking for what you want,

Making big pivots when you’re scared,

THESE ARE THEMES OF MY CONVERSATION WITH DR. GILLIAN MANDICH.

Dr. Gillian Mandich has a PhD from Western University in Health Science, and her primary areas of research are happiness and health.

She is the founder of The International Happiness Institute of Health Science Research; co-lead investigator of The Canadian Happiness At Work Study; is a part of the Meant2Prevent research team at SickKids; appears regularly in the media on shows such as The Social, Marilyn Denis, Breakfast Television, The Morning Show, and CBC.

When I invited Dr. Gillian Mandich to come on the show, I envisioned chatting about How Entrepreneurs Can Cultivate MORE Happiness in their lives, but this conversation is that PLUS so much more.


 
The outcome that exists for your life hasn’t even been created yet. Keep going. Keep evolving.

— Gillian Mandich

I was first introduced to Gillian when I stumbled upon her podcast 7 or 8 years ago, The Holistic Health Diaries.

I was a keen listener and have been following her journey on Instagram ever since… you’ve got to love the power of social media.

Fast forward to 2020 and Gillian and I were able to sit down together and record this episode at my studio in Toronto, over coffee. This episode is a little bit lengthier so listen in 2 chunks if you must, but do not miss a beat.

Gillian shares her beautiful story of building out her personal brand, getting her phD, and the many paths that she’s walked to find her place in the world today as a happiness researcher.

In this episode we cover so much…

  • Being scared & making big pivots, anyways

  • How to pitch yourself to the media & land a spot on TED Talk stage, even if you’ve never spoken publicly before!

  • The time in her life when she was saying yes to too many things & feeling pulled in a million directions (& what she did about it)

  • A prescription for loneliness if you’re a solo entrepreneur or just lacking connection in your life

  • The one thing that we could ALL benefit from scheduling into your day, that you’re probably not making ANY time for right now.
