Dr. Dana Watson from Families Inc. Counseling Services – Why Getting What We Want Doesn’t Always Make Us Happy (6/3/26)

Dr. Dana Watson from Families Inc. Counseling Services joined Brandon and Kelly to discuss why getting what we want doesn’t always make us happy. Why do so many people build lives that look impressive from the outside but feel exhausting on the inside? How is it possible to have everything you once prayed for and still feel empty? Why is comparing ourselves to others so psychologically damaging? If achievements don’t create lasting happiness, should people stop setting goals? How can someone tell if they’re living according to their own values rather than someone else’s expectations? What would you say to someone who feels they’ve spent years chasing the wrong things? What’s one practical thing they can do today to start working toward true happiness?
