Happiness Is a Choice We Can Learn. Speaking with Frank Clayton on Resilience and Healing

Healing begins the moment you choose yourself.

In this episode of Rise Up and Heal, I sit down with Frank Clayton, licensed mental health therapist, speaker, creator of the Happiness 101 course, and author of the children’s book Positives.

Known as The Happiest Therapist, Frank shares the remarkable journey that led him from a childhood marked by addiction, abandonment, and adversity to a life dedicated to helping others build resilience, optimism, and lasting happiness.

Together, we explore the power of positive psychology, the stories we tell ourselves, and how healing isn’t about pretending life is perfect. It’s about learning new ways to respond, grow, and create a life filled with greater purpose and joy.

This conversation is a reminder that while we can’t always choose what happens to us, we can choose how we move forward. Frank offers practical insights into resilience, emotional wellbeing, and the everyday habits that support a happier, more fulfilling life.

If you’re ready to move beyond survival and start creating a life that reflects who you truly are, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, empowered, and inspired.
