Join Eric Ayers for PEP Talks — a weekly spark of transformation through real stories, soul-led leadership, and human connection. From inner shifts to collective impact, each episode moves us from “me” to “we.”

What if the way we label an experience could completely transform how we feel it?
In this episode of PEP Talks with Eric, I sit down with Dr. Elia Gourgouris — also known as America’s Happiness Doctor — to explore how shifting from reaction to response can reprogram not only our minds, but also our outcomes.
Dr. Elia shares powerful insights from his decades as a psychologist, executive coach, keynote speaker, and author — including how one simple reframing (from pain to sensation) immediately changed his physical experience in the middle of our conversation.
Together, we dive into:
* How reframing inputs changes your emotions — and your reality
* The difference between reacting and responding when faced with challenges
* Why happiness is a skill you can build, not just a feeling you stumble into
* How leaders can cultivate wellness, resilience, and happiness within organizations
✨ This is a conversation about reclaiming choice, rewriting our programs, and remembering that our paradigms don’t have to define us.
