#29: Only 14% of People Feel Happy—Here’s What the Rest of Us Are Missing

Season 1 Episode 29

Talk to Nichole and Ben.

We’re more connected than ever, but so many of us feel emotionally empty. So what’s really going on?

In this episode, Nichole and Ben sit down with Tamika Carlton—Relationship and Communication Expert and founder of Couples Experience—to talk about why only 14% of people say they feel genuinely happy… and why it has everything to do with how we show up in our relationships.

They explore what authentic connection really means (hint: it’s not just “good communication”), how to move past surface-level interactions, and what it takes to build relationships that feel safe, reciprocal, and deeply fulfilling—whether it’s with your partner, friends, or even your work colleagues.

This episode is for anyone feeling disconnected, burnt out, or craving something deeper. The good news? It’s not too late to change the way you love—and be loved.
