Ep 85: The Five Ingredients to a 'Bon Vivant' Lifestyle with Nathalie Botros
What if the recipe for joy was as simple as a smile, a little movement, and saying no to one more draining obligation? In this episode, I’m joined by Nathalie Botros, the radiant psychotherapist-turned-coach behind The Happiness Cocktail and the Bon Vivant Girl lifestyle. Her story is one of deep reinvention; from chasing happiness across countries and careers to realizing it was within her all along. We talk about the moment she stopped searching and started savoring, and how you can too.
Nathalie shares the five playful, soulful ingredients to her signature happiness cocktail, and reminds us that joy isn’t something we earn, it’s something we practice. Whether you’re stuck in hustle mode or simply yearning to feel more alive, this conversation is an invitation to dance with life again.
Topics Covered:
- How Nathalie’s international journey led to a radical reinvention of joy.
- The deeper meaning behind being a true bon vivant.
- The five ingredients of the happiness cocktail (and why they spell SMILE).
- Why chasing external validation keeps us stuck in unhappiness.
- Learning to enjoy your body before trying to change it.
- Replacing guilt and burnout with pleasure and purpose.
- Creating daily rituals of self-love and sustainable joy.
- The importance of saying no (even when you’re tempted to people-please).
Here are some actions you can take, whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
- If you have 5 minutes, I have a blog article called “Living life as a Bon Vivant”
- If you have 50 minutes, I have a podcast episode from the show, The Life of a Bon Vivant called “Being your most authentic self.”
