I’m incredibly proud to share that my wife, Miriam Ismail, recently gave a TEDx talk titled “The Secret Ingredient to Happiness.” You can watch it here.

In a world overflowing with advice on how to be happy—books, podcasts, seminars—Miriam offers something refreshingly different. Her message isn’t just about chasing joy or achieving success. It’s about uncovering a deeper, more personal truth: the mindset behind happiness.

Drawing from her global experiences, academic background, and years of coaching, Miriam shares a perspective that’s both spiritual and practical. She reminds us that happiness isn’t found in things—it’s cultivated through intention, presence, and self-awareness.

What makes this talk special isn’t just the content—it’s the energy. Miriam speaks with clarity, warmth, and conviction. You can feel her passion for helping others become the best version of themselves. Whether she’s guiding clients through emotional intelligence, energy healing, or time management, her approach is always rooted in compassion and growth.

Her TEDx talk is a beautiful extension of that mission.

If you’ve ever felt like happiness was just out of reach—or buried under the noise of daily life—this talk might be the nudge you need.

What’s your personal ingredient for happiness?
