In this episode of Harmony Hour for Black Girls, we explore the science of happiness and how to rewire the brain for joy. Many of us believe happiness is something we find or achieve, but the truth is, it is something we cultivate through intentional mindset shifts and daily practices. We discuss the negativity bias and why our brains naturally focus on the negative, how dopamine and serotonin impact our mood, and the role of mindfulness, movement, and connection in protecting against depression. Listeners will be guided through a 21-day gratitude challenge designed to shift perspective, along with reflection questions to uncover what may be blocking joy. The episode also includes a guided happiness meditation to help settle the mind and invite in peace. Happiness is more than a fleeting emotion—it is a practice, and joy is already within you, waiting to be nurtured.

Joy is your birthright.
