Episodes Notes

Happiness is considered a destination, but the finish line is constantly moving—when we get married, find that dream job, move away from home, have a baby, build a dream house, etc. We are promised that a happy life is tied to these milestones.

But what if society has it wrong? What if happiness isn't the goal at all?

Mary Katherine Backstrom, best known for her viral videos and candid writing on family, faith, and mental illness, discusses this in her new book, Crazy Joy: Finding Wild Happiness in a World That's Upside Down. 

Today on Connections, MK shares the difference between happiness and joy, the importance of discussing mental health and how you can find true joy in a world that is upside down.
