Brett opens the episode by encouraging listeners that they are enough and capable, then shares a heartfelt reflection on how his wife’s smile has brought him joy from their first date through more than 36 years of marriage. He explains how smiling—backed by science—can improve mood, reduce stress, build resilience, and help us navigate hard seasons without denying the reality of pain. Brett reinforces the message with dozens of simple reasons to smile, reminding listeners that even small choices can shift perspective and restore hope. He shares two powerful stories of perseverance and love—a mother and baby surviving impossible medical odds and a couple celebrating a wedding after 70 years of marriage. Brett closes with lessons from other podcasts, a challenge to smile and uplift others daily, and a reminder that our best days are still ahead.Â
