Meet Hailey Forbis

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Hailey Forbis. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hailey, thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?

There is a quote…”Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” In life, we often don’t have control over many things that happen to us, but what we do have control over is HOW we react to it. You have a choice to either react positively to a situation or negatively, you can either choose to have joy or not. Growing up, I was surrounded by incredibly positive people who taught me the importance of positivity. I also grew up a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and believe the church gives me a sense of hope and joy for a better future and that everything will work out as it was intended. I believe that growing up with the influences I had drove me to be optimistic. Throughout my life, I have been beaten down and extremely discouraged and have had to pick myself up and move on. Because I’ve experienced the lowest of lows, I have been able to cherish the highest of highs and generally have an optimistic outlook because I always want to feel that sunshine in my chest, so I do everything I can to have an optimistic outlook. In this life, we have the power to shift our mindset to see the good, we can still feel the bad, but don’t stay there too long. Life is a gift and the best is yet to come.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

The power of a positive mindset is life-changing and I am passionate about sharing the power of mindset with the world. That is the inspiration behind my podcast, Hailey’s Happy Place. Hailey’s Happy Place is a podcast based on positivity, mindset, and advice and how we can navigate the difficulties of this world and change our mindset to begin to see a more positive outlook on life. I have always wanted to create something where I am able to share what I’ve learned and to have an open and honest conversation with listeners about how life isn’t always easy and there will be hard days, but if we practice mindfulness we can go through life a little happier and more hopeful. Each episode dives into a different aspect of life, whether it’s career, comparison, burnout, relationships, etc. and we talk about some of the common issues and different mindsets to overcome those issues and have a positive outlook on life and better mental health. I am already publishing full-length episodes! Tune in where you listen to podcasts. I am so excited to announce that in the next few months, I will release “Hailey’s Hot Takes” a series that has episodes that are no longer than 10 minutes and that will focus on motivation, quick tips, and advice. There are so many exciting things to come so stay tuned and follow @Haileys.happy.place on Instagram to stay updated on the latest information.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

I went to school for journalism so having that background has been incredibly helpful while I’m embarking on this journey. My desire to make a positive impact and determination has also been very helpful in getting my podcast off the ground. For anyone who is just now starting on their journey, I encourage you to never give up and keep reminding yourself why you’re doing it. I have found myself getting extremely discouraged with this podcast because I’m not exactly where I want to be yet, but I am doing this to make an impact on even one person and I can’t give up. That dream was placed on your heart and in your mind for a reason and you need to go after it!

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Being in a very digital space, I am always looking for others to collaborate with, especially episode guests. If you are someone who Is passionate about mindset and has a desire to share your story and knowledge with the world please reach out to me on Instagram @haileys.happy.place or, if you have any advice on making my podcast or social presence better please reach out to me. I love collaborating with other creatives and being surrounded by like-minded people who lift me up and encourage me. I’d absolutely love to chat and meet you!
