Podcasts about authentic joy

Where does safety come from in a relationship?Josh Trent welcomes Relationship Coach, Max Trombly, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 822, to explore why safety is not something a man does but something he is, why shame spiraling is one of the most selfish things a man can do to his family, and why most peak experiences are just self-satiation wearing a spiritual costume.In This Episode, Max Trombly Uncovers:(00:48) The Power of Containment(04:07) Restraint Is Love(07:10) The Prince and the King(10:28) The Illusionary War Between Red Pill and Feminism(17:28) The Four Burners and a Man's Real Purpose(26:43) The Trap of Self-Satiation(31:41) The Most Important Skill on Earth(34:47) Shame Vibrates at 20Hz(38:57) The Mother Wound Is the Original Wound(44:50) Marriage Is the Greatest Arena(48:16) Six Years Old When Cancer Changed Everything(49:49) How Survival Becomes Joy(55:49) Spiritual Ejaculation vs Real Growth(01:02:31) Honesty Is the Foundation and Presence Is the Practice(01:05:44) When the Body Sounds the Alarm(01:11:34) Authentic Joy vs Conditioned Happiness

This summer, I found myself slowing down—getting quieter on the trails, more present among the trees, and stepping away from my usual morning routine of “to-do” lists, three coffees, and hustling to get people into my coaching programs. I got quiet. I sat with the parts of myself that feel uncomfortable and need external validation to feel worthy.  I kept hearing the Zen Buddhist phrase: “chop wood, carry water". The wisdom is simple: do everyday tasks with mindfulness and presence.For me, that meant canceling my coaching program that was supposed to start in August. It meant releasing the constant striving for speaking opportunities, letting go of outreach for podcast guests, and returning to my roots—deep, one-on-one conversations where space is dedicated to what truly matters. It meant going back to being a therapist.For years, Sister Monica Clare heard a quiet call toward a quiet religious life. She first explored Hollywood, marriage, and conventional success before discovering that her heart was truly drawn to sisterhood.Even if you're not religious or spiritual, this conversation will likely resonate with you. Sister Monica Clare's story is about learning to "gravitate towards joy versus chaos" and having the courage to follow your authentic calling—no matter how unconventional it may seem, and no matter what you have to release to honor it.Her journey began in a Southern town marked by poverty, abuse, and violence, including witnessing her grandfather attempt to stab her father. Her mother's encouragement to pursue a different life set her on a path through college in New York City, a career in Hollywood, marriage, heartbreak, and even performing in comedy clubs.Through it all, she never abandoned the power of prayer—even when the call to religious life felt “complicated and baffling, completely out of step with her fame-adjacent life in Los Angeles”. She tried everything to silence it: therapy sessions, ignoring it, secrecy, and even asking friends and mentors, “What do you think about me being a nun?”Sister Monica Clare's story becomes a compass for anyone struggling to find their truth. Authentic calling rarely makes logical sense—but it always leads to deeper fulfillment.Today, at 59, she has found her unique path to serve: Launched @NunsenseForthePeople on TikTok in 2020Wrote the bestselling memoir A Change of HabitUses social media to raise awareness about progressive religious orders like the Community of St. John BaptistOffers spiritual counseling specializing in religious trauma, mental illness, and addictionSister Monica Clare is the Mother Superior at the Community of St. John Baptist, an Episcopal convent in New Jersey. Before taking her vows in 2012, she worked as a photo editor in L.A. and performed in an acoustic rock duo and improv comedy troupe.In our conversation, she shares how prayer became her sanctuary throughout Hollywood rejections and personal heartbreaks. She reveals the guiding messages she received from God during life's challenges—like when she discovered her husband was cheating and heard, “Get up and get your house in order.” She opens up about overcoming the fear that people wouldn't want her around and finding peace as a socially awkward introvert in a tight-knit community.This episode is an invitation to listen to your own quiet callings and consider what authentic joy could look like in your life—and what you might need to release in order to honor it.

Description:It can be easy to get caught up in what happened to us, in difficulties, and in the healing work so much, that forget why we're doing this healing work, to experience more joy! The following saying resonated with me and inspired this podcast: "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma. You're used to trauma. You're healing to be able to handle joy." Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit and a fruit of our healing labors. God wants us to not only experience joy, but to embody it. We cover why joy is so important in trauma recovery, how to avoid toxic positivity and bypassing when cultivating joy, and how to cultivate more joy in your life with the realities and unique challenges of being a trauma survivor in mind. As a survivor, it can be more challenging to experience joy, but like the rest of healing work, it is a skill that can be learned. You CAN live a joyful life, in spite of all that has happened to you.Breakdown of Episode1:17 Intro 4:40 Why Joy Is So Important in Trauma Recovery and Why Toxic Bypassing Doesn't Work11:52 Different Kinds of Joy18:30 Why Trauma Survivors Struggle More to Experience Joy and Starting Where You're At31:44 How to Embody Joy After TraumaTo access sources, go HEREChristian Emotional Recovery Resources Podcast WebsiteAccess Episodes, Get Free Resources, and More Facebook GroupJoin Community, Get Support, and Get Weekly Encouragement YouTube ChannelSubscribe for Exclusive Material Not on Podcast Christian Emotional Recovery StoreGet meditations, infographics, journals, and other resources for your healing journey Trauma SurvivorsCheck out Resources Page for Trauma Survivors Email ListGet updates on episodes, platform, resources, and products Free ResourceFree Visual A.C.O.R.N Resource to Heal Difficult Emotions Donate Monthly Through PatreonHelp More Trauma Survivors Through This Ministry ...

I took some time to interview several members of our organization about what brings joy to their lives. In doing so, I have been able to identify various commonalities that they've spoken about. After doing so I've divided these themes into Barriers, Boundaries, concepts that are beyond just yourself. In a time of political strife that many of our members appear to be obsessed with, it's important to actively seek joy and engage in things that bring it about within yourself and your community. Many people still associate me with the darkness of my opening words back in September, but I'd like to shed some light on how life can be beautiful after tragedy.

Explore this quandary with us as we unravel the surprising weekly kiddish ritual and Reb Bunim Pshischa's profound teachings on the role of authentic happiness in spiritual practice.

It is about authentic happiness, feeling all of our feelings, and understanding that we can always find our way back to happiness."I wanted to be happy.

This isn't pretending like everything's great. This is really getting into authentic happiness, feeling all of your feelings, being in whatever mood you're going to be in, but also understanding you can get back to being happy."The Role of a Happiness CoachSandra stumbled upon the concept of happiness coaching during her journey to find happiness.
