About the Podcast

Choosing Happy
"For entrepreneurs who are tired of toxic positivity and ready for real transformation
Ready to break free from old patterns and choose joy in a noisy, demanding world?
You’re in the right place.

The Choosing Happy Podcast is where techies, entrepreneurs, transformational practitioners and creative souls come to reclaim happiness, shake up their mindset, and unlock more meaningful wins—no toxic positivity, just real stories, honest wisdom, and practical tools.

Hosted by Heather V Masters, certified trainer, coach, NLP master practitioner, and ex-corporate burnout survivor turned joy champion, every episode blends bold myth-busting, brutally honest moments, and uplifting insights.
Here, you’ll hear everyday tales about messing up, getting back up, and finding clarity in chaos.
This isn’t polished perfection—it’s raw, relatable, and relentlessly positive.

Whether you’re stuck in a rut, ready for a pattern break, or craving authenticity in your business and life, you’ll find strategies, experiments, and support to help you thrive.
Expect weekly bite-sized wisdom, longer deep-dives, and monthly guests who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

What You’ll Get:
Real stories & hard-won lessons: The truth behind success—failures, pivots, and tiny happy experiments.

Mindset shifts for real life: Ditching the fluff and finding joy in the messy bits.

Actionable tools: Live tests, wins jars, A–B experiments, reframes you’ll actually use.

A vibrant, supportive community: Share your wins, get inspired, and rediscover what makes you happy.

Join us and choose happy—one honest conversation at a time.
