    Sep 25 2025

    "The Bright Side Chronicles" is a podcast dedicated to exploring things that bring happiness, joy, and a sense of purpose to life. In this episode, hosts Nana Agyemang and Kerri Lewis sit down with wellness coach and speaker Kelly Knower to discuss the power of joy and the importance of cultivating it in your daily life. They delve into how shifting your perspective from "life happening to me" to "life happening for me" can be a catalyst for profound personal transformation. Kelly shares her powerful personal story of overcoming a serious health scare and how it led her to a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection and the healing power of joy. The trio also touches on the importance of embracing your authentic self, practicing gratitude, and the liberating feeling of not caring what others think.

  • When You Change the Way You Look at Things
    Aug 29 2025

    What if you could heal your body with words, or find true fulfillment by simply being yourself?

    Join hosts Nana Agyemang and Kerri Lewis for a profound conversation with two incredible guests: healer and author Karen Rudolf, and energy expert Yanko Yankov. This episode is a deep dive into the true source of happiness and how to cultivate it in your daily life.

    We explore how words create reality and how setting boundaries isn't about pushing people away, but about choosing your own joy. From using affirmations to heal on a cellular level to finding euphoria by bringing happiness to strangers in a Winnie the Pooh costume, this conversation is packed with wisdom and heart.

    * Mindset & Manifestation: Discover why "the feeling" is more powerful than just speaking things into existence.

    * Embracing Authenticity: Learn how to tap into the highest energetic frequency by being unapologetically you, without a filter.

    * The Power of Boundaries: Understand why setting boundaries is an act of love and a crucial tool for protecting your joy.

    * Community and Healing: Hear how our own joy can be a magnet for others and a powerful force for healing in silence.
