FYC_GillianMandich

Happiness. It seems to be the thing everyone is chasing after but is left constantly yearning for. It doesn’t help that we’re in the dog days of winter here in Canada where the winter blues are alive and well, people are experiencing S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and still recovering from the hit their bank accounts took during the holidays.

Here to help us find a little pep in our step and cultivate more happiness in our lives is Happiness Expert, Researcher and Speaker, Dr. Gillian Mandich. Gillian teaches about health, wellness and happiness on a variety of platforms from university classrooms, TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, and is the regular Happiness Expert on the Marilyn Denis show and The Social.
