Why You Feel Guilty for Being Happy (And How to Let That Go) | The Happya Life Podcast

Ever felt guilty for feeling happy? Maybe you’ve been through grief, heartbreak, or tough times, and when joy finally sneaks in you feel like you’re betraying what you’ve been through. Or maybe life is going well, but instead of embracing it, you find yourself second-guessing: Do I really deserve this? What if it all goes wrong? What about the people who aren’t as lucky?

This is called happiness guilt, and you are not alone.

In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, we’re unpacking:
✅ Why we feel guilty for being happy even when we’ve worked hard for it.
✅ The link between survivor’s guilt, past trauma, and our nervous system.
✅ How cultural conditioning and comparison fuel the fear of embracing joy.
✅ Steps to release happiness guilt so you can feel good without apology.

Happiness is not something you have to earn. It’s not selfish. It’s not a reward for suffering. It’s a fundamental part of being alive. And in this episode, I’ll guide you through how to break free from guilt, rewire your mindset, and own your joy without fear.
