There are 5 points on a particular gene related to oxytocin the more of the 5 you carry the more empathetic you are. Some of us might have an advantage - empaths - where as some of us might not.

Activate your happiness with Steph Peltier

Steph Peltier takes a science-backed approach to mental wellbeing - an expert in the neuroscience behind happiness. She uses her knowledge to help others manage stress, anxiety and build resilience. An infectious speaker who has flipped the script on what happiness and purpose really looks like.

Learn from Steph the power of perspective: 

All of our thoughts trigger a physical and emotional reaction. So we have to be very careful with the perspective that we have. You can choose your perspective, challenge it and reframe it. If you can challenge your perspective and find a silver lining, reframe the situation, identify opportunities for growth, learning and connection you're going to engage with it from a much more positive perspective. And you are going to feel different. You have a choice in the perspective that you have and on absolutely everything that is going on in your life.
