On this episode of Adulting 101 I chat with Rochelle Gapere who is an Attorney, Happiness Coach and an Entrepreneur.

We speak about how infusing happiness and positive thinking into your life can help you make better decision. Before making a decision ask yourself will it make you happy? If I go to the gym this morning will it make me happy? If I hang out with the toxic people from work will it make me happy? If the answer to these questions is a yes then go ahead and do it! if the answer is no then don't.

In the conversation Rochelle shares that we are the curators of our lives, we are the ones who decide how our lives should be. No one is coming to save us!. She also speaks about her book One Happy Thought At A Time: 30 days To A Happier You.

Personal Branding is what people say about you when you are not around. Who are you? What do you stand for? What are your core values? In the age of social media, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook we have to become more aware of the things we are not only posting about but liking and comment on, as we are leaving our digital signature, our stamp of approval on these things. We have to think about our reputation as well, how do we make people feel after they have had an interaction with us. Based on our personal brand will people recommend us for that job, refer our business to other people etc. On this week's episode Naomi Garrick, Lead PR Chick from Garrick Communications breaks down Personal Branding for us and shares why it is so important to each and everyone of us. She shares some tips from her new book PR Chick's Guide: 8 Steps To Building Your Personal Brand Workbook and also who has a great personal brand that we can learn from.
