KIM LEARNED HER LESSONS IN THE REAL WORLD… Kim Hodous is an expert on happiness, not because she’s researched it in a lab or received a psychology degree from a prestigious university. She’s an expert on happiness because she has experienced one of life’s greatest tragedies and lived to embrace genuine happiness once again. It was navigating her way back to finding some semblance of joy after the death of her two-year-old daughter, that she personally discovered the ways in which we can find happiness – regardless of circumstance.
