Podcasts about Beautiful Life

DESCRIPTION Have you ever felt like you're waiting for motivation to finally show up before you make a change?

From movement and wellness to creating a beautiful lifestyle, growing a business, and reinventing yourself in midlife, this episode is a reminder that transformation doesn't happen all at once. It happens through the small choices we make every day. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uninspired, or disconnected from the woman you want to become, this conversation will encourage you to stop waiting and start moving. Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is creating a beautiful life in motion. In this episode: ✨ Why motivation is overrated ✨ The power of momentum and consistency ✨ How small daily decisions create big life changes ✨ Reinventing yourself at any age ✨ Creating a lifestyle that feels aligned, energized, and beautiful Connect with Heather at GLITTERU.COM and join us as we create stronger bodies, healthier habits, and more beautiful lives—one step at a time. #GetUnstuckPodcast #BeautifulLifeInMotion #WomenOver50 #Reinvention #HealthyLifestyle #MomentumOverMotivation #PersonalGrowth #MidlifeWellness #BoomAndTone #GLITTERU XOXH✌

Ever notice how two people can look at the exact same thing and see something completely different?One sees possibility. Another sees problems.One sees beauty. Another sees inconvenience.One sees hope. Another sees reasons to give up.What if the difference isn't what they're looking at?What if it's how they're looking?Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, A Beautiful Life, and explore one of Jesus' most intriguing promises: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

Beauty has a way of bringing out the best in us.So does mercy.This Sunday we'll explore one of Jesus' most intriguing statements: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."What did Jesus mean by that? Is mercy weakness? Is it forgiveness? And why does Jesus seem to think mercy has the power to transform both the giver and the receiver?

In Week 8 of A Beautiful Life, we explore Jesus' powerful conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount - choosing the narrow way that leads to life, discerning false voices by their fruit, building on the solid foundation of Christ, and embracing the beautiful life found in truly knowing and following Him.(https://slocity.church/groupguides) - Click here for group guides for this series(https://slocity.church/im-new) - Click here to fill out a connect card if you're new(https://slocity.church/events) - Click here to jump into events at SLO City(https://subsplash.com/slocitychurch/app) - Click here to download the app and stay connected(https://slocity.church/give) - We dream of being a generous church that trusts God fully and makes a difference.

In a world of AI slop, outrage feeds, and spiritual deep fakes, God is still breathing real life into ordinary people through his word and Spirit. In 2 Timothy 3:10–17, Paul points Timothy away from impostors and toward the “God-breathed” Scriptures that make us wise for salvation, correct and train us, and equip us for every good work. This message invites us to move from skimming Scripture to letting it shape our character—forming deeply human, steady, and beautiful lives.

Some conversations are so good they deserve a second life. This is one of them. I recorded this with Alisa Barry back in episode 20 — and I still think about it. Alisa is one of the few people I know who has truly, successfully built a beautiful life on purpose. Not as an aesthetic — as a practice. She started a café in Atlanta in the early 90s because she loved food and beautiful things and eating as a ritual. That café became Bella Cucina Artful Food — an artisan brand that's been in Oprah's Favorite Things twice, carried in specialty stores around the world, and built entirely on the idea that what's on your table matters. She's also a Japanese ink artist with a 25-year private meditation practice. A curator of objects sourced from around the globe. Someone who picks and chooses — products, people, design, art — specifically to illuminate and elevate your life. In this conversation we go deep on devotion as a discipline. On what it took for her to claim herself as an artist after years of being known as a business owner. On the simple, powerful daily practices that brought her back to herself when her business started feeling like something she had to do instead of something she loved. She does things in such a potent, spacious, simple way. You'll leave this one inspired — and probably a little more chaotic than you wish you were. Which, same. 3 Things You'll Take Away: Devotion as discipline. When Alisa burned out, instead of pushing harder, she came back to simple daily practices that grounded her day and reconnected her to what was beautiful and important. This is what sustainable looks like.Claiming yourself as an artist. Even when the world knows you as something else. Even when you didn't go to school for it. Alisa talks about what it took to step into that identity and how it helped her feel whole.How to curate a beautiful life on purpose. Not as a luxury. As a daily choice. What you put on your table, how you begin your day, what you let in, it all adds up to something. This episode shows you what that can look like. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Why I'm bringing this one back — and what the peonies have to do with it (05:00) The Eggplant Lady origin story (09:00) How she ran a busy business and still lived slowly (13:00) Burning out — and the artist retreat that changed everything (17:00) Claiming yourself as an artist even when you don't feel like one (20:00) Curation as a way of life (23:00) Morning pages and what they revealed (28:00) Devotion as discipline — the rituals that hold everything together (35:00) Beauty as a daily practice (45:00) Leading with curiosity (55:00) What it means to curate a beautiful life on purpose

What if the greatest danger to the soul isn't hatred…but indifference?This Sunday we continue our series A Beautiful Life by exploring Jesus' words: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…”A conversation about justice, desire, meaning, and the kind of life that actually satisfies.

Some things in life don't work the way you think they should.Trying to fall asleep often just makes you feel more awake.
The more you force a conversation on a first date, the more awkward it gets.
The tighter you grip a golf club, the worse your swing usually is.Sometimes the thing that actually works feels completely backwards.Jesus talked like that too. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”This Sunday we're continuing our series through the Beatitudes and exploring the upside down wisdom of Jesus.

In Week 6 of “A Beautiful Life,” we explore Jesus' teaching that true freedom and peace are found not in money or possessions, but in trusting God as our provider and living open-handed through generosity, faith, and seeking His kingdom first.(https://slocity.church/groupguides) - Click here for group guides for this series(https://slocity.church/im-new) - Click here to fill out a connect card if you're new(https://slocity.church/events) - Click here to jump into events at SLO City(https://subsplash.com/slocitychurch/app) - Click here to download the app and stay connected(https://slocity.church/give) - We dream of being a generous church that trusts God fully and makes a difference.

He rose to national fame in 2015 as the winner of Season 14 of American Idol. His debut album Hurricane featured the hit single “Beautiful Life,” and he has since built a thriving independent career with albums like Past My Past, multiple tours, and heartfelt original music.

Mother's Day is this Sunday at Emmaus and we have a really meaningful morning planned.We'll celebrate moms, child dedications, and continue our series through the Beatitudes by exploring one of the more surprising things Jesus ever said:“Blessed are those who mourn…”Which feels a little backwards in a culture that treats grief like something to be avoided.But what if some of the most beautiful parts of us are formed not by avoiding pain, but by allowing God to meet us in it?

Karen Duffy returns with an inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, and living beautifully, no matter the circumstances. From her iconic days as an MTV VJ and actress to becoming a New York Times bestselling author, Karen shares unforgettable stories and hard earned wisdom from a life lived in the spotlight and beyond. But this episode goes deeper. As one of over 51 million U.S. adults navigating chronic pain, Karen opens up about her journey with sarcoidosis and how it reshaped her perspective. With her powerful mantra, “pain is inevitable; suffering is optional”, she reveals how she's refused to let illness define her, choosing joy, purpose, and humor instead. This candid and uplifting conversation is packed with insight on mindset, perseverance, and finding beauty in the unexpected, making it a must listen for anyone seeking inspiration, strength, and a fresh outlook on life.

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us picked up the idea that the good life belongs to people who have it all together.Jesus disagrees. He basically says, “Congratulations… to the ones who know they don't.”This Sunday we're talking about why the beautiful life isn't built on being impressive…it's built on grace.

In Week 4 of A Beautiful Life, we discover how Jesus challenges performance-driven religion by exposing our motives and inviting us into a deeper relationship with God the Father - where true reward, identity, and transformation are found not in being seen, but in seeking Him in secret.(https://slocity.church/groupguides) - Click here for group guides for this series(https://slocity.church/im-new) - Click here to fill out a connect card if you're new(https://slocity.church/events) - Click here to jump into events at SLO City(https://subsplash.com/slocitychurch/app) - Click here to download the app and stay connected(https://slocity.church/give) - We dream of being a generous church that trusts God fully and makes a difference.

Over the course of time, you've likely heard lots of sermons naming various sins, but you've probably never heard one that digs deeper to actually thoughtfully explore: What is the definition of sin? In other words, what makes something a sin in the eyes of God? This Sunday we'll tackle that question -- and you're probably going to be surprised. This may be the most important sermon you've never heard.

We all want a good life. A meaningful life. Maybe even…a beautiful life. But what if the way we've been taught to get there isn't actually working?This Sunday, we're starting a new series called A Beautiful Life, where we'll explore the Beatitudes—the opening words of Jesus' most famous teaching.They're familiar.They're poetic.And if we're honest, they're a little strange.But as we wade into the weirdness, we may just discover something unexpected—an invitation to a truly beautiful life.

This week we continue to explore the Sermon on the Mount, showing how Jesus Christ calls us to live the “Beautiful Life” through creative, courageous, and compassionate resistance - loving our enemies, breaking cycles of retaliation, and transforming the world through radical grace.(https://slocity.church/groupguides) - Click here for group guides for this series(https://slocity.church/im-new) - Click here to fill out a connect card if you're new(https://slocity.church/events) - Click here to jump into events at SLO City(https://subsplash.com/slocitychurch/app) - Click here to download the app and stay connected(https://slocity.church/give) - We dream of being a generous church that trusts God fully and makes a difference.

Lilias Trotter was a woman who did not fit the mold of her Victorian era. Born in 1853 into upper-class England, she was an exceptionally gifted artist mentored by John Ruskin, one of the most prominent art critics of her time. Yet, rather than pursuing conventional success and artistic fame, she chose a path of surrender—one that blended beauty, compassion, and deep spiritual vocation. She has much to teach us about a life of joyful surrender to God's gentle leading.Did you know? Lilias Trotter inspired the famous hymn, Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus – yes, so that “all things will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”Stephanie welcomes Jennifer Trafton, who just released “If only we could see”, a wonderful new biography of Lilias Trotter. Jennifer explains how she became captivated with Lilias, whose “adventurous, interesting, fascinating life” radiated with childlike delight, generosity, and profound love for God. Victorian artist and missionary Lilias Trotter teaches us much about the practice of “seeing”—both literally and spiritually— and how it transforms us and the world around us.Lilias's training as an artist under Ruskin taught her to “see well”—not just the details of nature, but the overlooked people in her society. She moved from painting to working with the most impoverished communities in London, especially young women vulnerable in the city. In partnership with movements like the YWCA and revivalist preacher D.L. Moody, Lilias dedicated herself to listening, serving, and providing safety and practical help for working-class girls and women subject to exploitation and trafficking.Her artistry was inseparable from her love for people. This “way of seeing”—attentive, joyful, and present—became her creative and spiritual calling. Lilias's vision challenges us to integrate our gifts and passions into practical love for others.A key metaphor for Lilias's life is the dandelion—“full face to the sun” (representing Christ), then surrendered as seeds blown by the wind of the Holy Spirit to places and purposes beyond our control. Lilias did not chase worldly success. Lilias believed in offering her life freely to God, trusting Him to use every skill, experience, or seeming detour for His glory. The measure of a “successful life” is not accomplishment or recognition, but faithfulness and openness to the Spirit.The lesson of Lilias's life is that we are all called to both see others as Christ sees them, and to rest in the assurance that we ourselves are fully seen and loved by God. Her legacy is less about artistic fame and more about the deep creative, transformative hospitality she brought to every relationship.Lilias Trotter's “beautiful life” continues to inspire because she shows that to be fully present, fully surrendered, and fully attentive is to live in step with God's purposes. Whether you're an artist or not, her story invites you to open your eyes and your life, so that God's glory and gladness shine out through you, in Christ Jesus.Next Steps for You!·         Practice seeing: Pay attention—to beauty, to overlooked people, to God's presence in the present moment.·         Surrender your gifts: Offer your unique talents, passions, and opportunities to God without demanding a particular outcome.·         Root yourself in your belovedness through Christ: Know that, like Lilias, your worth is secure in being seen by God—which frees you to serve, love, and see others anew.·         Let your life be scattered as seed, trusting Christ's Holy Spirit to bear fruit, however and whenever God chooses.MORE ABOUT “IF ONLY WE COULD SEE”“God only knows the endless possibilities that lie enfolded in each of us.” – Lilias TrotterIn the late 19th century, Lilias Trotter stood at the threshold of artistic fame, her extraordinary talent praised by the renowned critic John Ruskin. Yet, at the height of her promise, she made a radical choice that would define the course of her life. Turning away from worldly recognition and social convention, she forged her own path—one that led her through the roughest streets of London and, ultimately, to the deserts of North Africa. There, her artistic and spiritual journeys intertwined as she expanded the many-colored canvas of her creativity to embrace not only the sweeping vistas of the Sahara, but also the lives of the Arab people she loved.Blending biography, personal engagement, and theological reflection, Trafton takes readers on an intimate journey with Lily as her friends knew her – a visionary who saw the world with an artist's eye and a missionary's heart, and whose imaginative empathy and creative compassion transformed the lives of those she encountered. More than the story of one remarkable woman, this book is an invitation to experience the beauty of creation with fresh wonder, to look at our neighbors through new lenses, and to discover what “beautiful possible life” awaits each one of us as we follow the call of the Divine Artist.MORE ABOUT JENNIFER TRAFTONJennifer Trafton is a storyteller and artist with a passion for exploring the intersections of faith, creativity, and the arts. She studied church history and theology at Wake Forest University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Duke University, focusing on the 19th-century writer George MacDonald and his influence on Christian views of the imagination. After serving as managing editor of Christian History & Biography magazine and a curriculum writer and editor for the StoneWorks Global Arts Initiative, she has been a regular conference speaker, writer, teacher, editor, and illustrator for the Nashville-based Rabbit Room creative community for over a decade. Her first two novels for children, The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic and Henry and the Chalk Dragon, received starred reviews and multiple award nominations, and she has since collaborated on or contributed to a wide array of projects including The Wingfeather Tales, The Lost Tales of Sir Galahad, Every Moment Holy, Vol. III: The Work of the People, and J. R. R. Tolkien and the Arts: A Theology of Subcreation. She recently illustrated Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide by Lanier Ivester (Rabbit Room Press, 2024).“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible – or they've kinda lost sight of it along the way.In "Awaken Delight," I'm inviting you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight in God— not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is. Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you will learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable."Awaken Delight" is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued, and ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.Find out more at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Support us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

Morning Mantra: "Give every day the chance to be beautiful."  Mindset is so important.  Sometimes I think we forget this.  You can have a great big beautiful day if you start it with a mindset that attracts it.Start your day by handing over your worries and allowing yourself to experience what life feels like without fear. Surrender any anger or resentments you have and decide you will be kind in all your interactions. Look for opportunities to open your mind through learning about something new. Count your blessings. And remember the quality of your day (and life) is determined by the quality of your thoughts.#BeOpenToABeautifulMindset #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes

This message from Pastor Joey is part of the series “A Good, Messy, Beautiful Life,” a journey through the book of Ecclesiastes exploring where the good life is really found. In Ecclesiastes 9, we're confronted with a sobering truth: no matter who we are—rich or poor, powerful or ordinary—everyone dies. Yet instead of leading us to despair, Scripture shows how remembering our mortality can actually free us to live more fully. In a world full of uncertainty, Ecclesiastes calls us to embrace the gifts God has given—joy, relationships, meaningful work, and everyday moments of beauty—and to live gratefully, intentionally, and with purpose while we still have breath.

Our responsibility is Jesus sharing, not nation building.

In this message from our series “A Good, Messy, Beautiful Life,” Pastor Joey McLaughlin unpacks Ecclesiastes 8 and confronts one of the hardest truths about life: you are not in control. Through Solomon's reflections, we're reminded that politics, the economy, justice, our reputation, and even the day of our death ultimately rest in God's hands. So what do we do when life feels unfair and the outcomes don't make sense? Instead of offering easy answers to suffering, Ecclesiastes calls us to surrender control, trust God's sovereignty, and receive each day as a gift. In a world that feels chaotic and unpredictable, the good life isn't found in having all the answers — it's found in trusting the King who does.

So many midlife women approach their healing and growth work from the root belief that they are not good enough, they are bad, wrong, or broken, or that they need to find a "fix" outside of themselves. And then they will feel kinder to themselves, more at peace, or everything in life will fall into place.All this does is reinforce your old self-protective patterns and gives you more of the same. More of what is NOT working for you.If you want to create loving, positive, healthy, sustainable change in your life, in your relationships, in your relationship with yourself, then you need to change a fundamental belief.You don't need fixing. You are already whole.You don't need to do better and be better. You need to BE your True Self and learn how to BE on your own side.In this episode I walk you through a process of growth and becoming that I call Old Self - New Self - True Self.Women arrive at my work at the New Self phase. I take them through this vulnerable, messy stage of becoming and help them meet and befriend their True Self. This is where they learn to lead from their Wise, Healthy, Brilliant Self more and more of the time.The New Self phase is hard work. It's important to know that and normalize it. You will need to shed, strip away, question, decondition... and this can feel unmooring and destabilizing at first.But - this is also where freedom and joy really begin to grow in your life.You learn to receive what you truly want and need. You learn to be on your own side and really trust yourself. You learn to pause between impulse and response. You learn how to be with discomfort and show up through it vs quitting or hiding under the covers. And you put down deep, hardy roots of self-awareness and self-compassion.If there is a part of you that recognizes a desire to say YES to more freedom and joy and self-kindness, then after listening to this episode, I invite you to listen to a free training about Rewilding in Midlife.Get the free training: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/rewilding/Or if you are ready to work with me, reach out and we can book a free 25 minute call: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/schedule-a-free-chat/

Pastor Joe Baker continues the "A Good, Messy, Beautiful Life" series with a powerful message from Ecclesiastes 6 titled “How Can I Be Satisfied?” In this sermon, Joe explores King Solomon's search for meaning and exposes the emptiness of chasing wealth, success, possessions, and “more” without God. Through biblical insight, relatable stories, and practical challenges, he calls listeners to examine their appetites, practice gratitude, and discover true contentment as a gift from God. Ultimately, this message points to Jesus as the only source of lasting satisfaction and eternal life in a restless, consumer-driven world. If you're wrestling with purpose, comparison, or materialism, this teaching invites you to reorient your life around what truly matters. Watch, reflect, and join the conversation as we learn what it means to live fully satisfied in Christ.We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

S6:E13 Loralyn Mears, PhD, aka "Dr. LL," brings you thoughtful conversations with entrepreneurs and small business leaders navigating visibility, leadership, and growth. Thank you for being here. Overview A lot of founders are stuck because their identity is still anchored to safety, approval, and "the responsible choice." So the goalposts keep moving. The bank balance is never enough, the timing is never right, and the dream stays theoretical. This shows up as overwork, over-functioning, and businesses that look "successful" but feel misaligned and unsustainable.

I met Joe on Kalymnos and thought he had created an interesting career in guiding. I also feel we share many of the same values around guiding and life.
