16. Michele Johnston: Is It Better To Stay Married Or Be Happy?

As a long time stay-at-home mom, Michele Johnston looked like she had it altogether from the outside, but on the inside, it was a different story.
She was miserable, constantly yelling at her kids, and wondered what was wrong with her -- after all, she had everything she wanted, why couldn't she be happy?
When the last of her four kids headed to school, she was finally forced to reflect on what made her happy and fulfilled. She found the gym, started entering fitness competitions in her late 30's, and found that her marriage could not handle the full expression of herself.
Michele and I chat about the pursuit of deep happiness vs. instant gratification, and what it means to prioritize yourself as a mother.
