Our internalized story that we create about ourselves, of who we are, is called by psychologist, narrative identity. And that narrative identity impacts our behaviors and the level of our happiness.

In this episode, Identity &Happiness, I am speaking with Leyla Okhai, coach, mediator, inclusion and wellbeing practitioner, who is the founder of an organization called Diverse Minds.

We discuss with Leyla, how we shape our own identity, how who we believe we are impacts our happiness and how to expand our internal stories to be happier.
