The flip switched when Meaghan B Murphy, Editor-in-Chief at Woman's Day Magazine, learned she could 'do' happy instead of waiting to 'be' happy. After some trying teen years, Meaghan began practicing science-backed ways to find and create more happiness and it worked. In her first book "Your Fully Charged Life," she shares how you can find 'yay' (gratitude) in every day, how to make the most of daily interactions and set your self up to spread joy and positivity. Today, she share some of her secrets with Maria, including why more package deliveries can help build friendships (only kidding!)
