What is Positive Psychology?
Positive psychology is a transformative field of study that focuses on the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. Unlike traditional psychology, which often centers on diagnosing and treating mental illness, positive psychology emphasizes the scientific exploration of well-being, happiness, and human flourishing.
By nurturing positive emotions, resilience, and meaningful connections, it empowers us to live more fulfilling lives. In her coaching and workshops, Jodi incorporates these principles to help you unlock your full potential and cultivate a life of joy, balance, and purpose.
