Happiness journey with Dr Dan podcast: Season 23 Ep 5: Special Guest and living a happier version of yourself coach, Bona Nomandeau

Happiness journey with Dr Dan podcast: Season 23 Ep 5: Special Guest and living a happier version of yourself coach, Bona Nomandeau

mission is to empower individuals to discover their own path to happiness, guiding them to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and joy.

After a successful military career and over a decade of entrepreneurship, Bona found herself feeling lost, unfocused, and merely fitting in. A pivotal moment at a conference, where a speaker asked, “What is the dream in your heart?”—and Bona couldn’t answer—sparked her decision to embark on a journey to uncover what living her best life truly meant.

 

Rather than journey alone, Bona launched her podcast to share her experiences and insights, creating a space where others could feel seen and supported. She quickly discovered she wasn’t alone and has been inspiring meaningful action in others ever since.

Remember, when you have a choice, choose happy.

Ka Hancock is the author of the beloved novel DANCING ON BROKEN GLASS and newly released THE DUZY HOUSE OF MOURNING. Look for IVY in STILLS coming later this summer. Always intrigued by the human experience and how people navigate their unique challenges, Hancock began writing stories as a child, and never stopped.

Happiness journey with Dr Dan podcast: Season 21 Ep 9: Special Guest, successful author of 4 books and living with Tourette Syndrome. Kristof Morrow

Kristof is a veteran, author, and journalist originally from Texas who now resides in Vancouver, dealing with Tourette’s syndrome. Despite being the third born in his family, he was the first to graduate from high school. During his time serving in the US Navy as a Corpsman following high school, he taught himself to write. Upon leaving the Navy, he discovered that a traditional university education wasn't suited to him, despite winning top awards for short fiction and poetry in creative writing contests at two different colleges. He transitioned into becoming an EMT at the age of 23, then a 911 dispatcher at 26, before securing a position at a newspaper through audition at the age of 27.

During this time, he earned accolades from two Texas Press Associations for his feature writing and photography. However, his Tourette’s syndrome began to manifest in a way that he could no longer ignore, leading to five years of battling worsening symptoms and refraining from writing. Finally, on October 16, 2021, he overcame this struggle and resumed writing. In February of the following year, he achieved the milestone of publishing his first book.
