It might seem that high-achievers with important jobs don't need — or even have time for — activities that bring them joy. But it turns out that finding joy at all stages of life (along with achievement and meaningfulness) is essential to feeling satisfied and being a more effective leader. Harvard Business School professor Leslie Perlow has studied busy executives who do - or do not - find joy and explains the main ways that we can all make the most limited free time, including avoiding passive pursuits and diversifying our activities. Perlow is founder of the Crafting Your Life Project, which created the Life Matrix tool, and coauthor, along with Sari Menster and Salvatore Affinito, of the HBR article "How the Busiest People Find Joy."

Fr. Nathan is accompanied by therapist and prayer partners Karen Saliba and Kim Sharp as they discuss practical steps for finding joy in difficult times. Karen Saliba, PsyD, MFT, is a psychoanalyst, working with couples and individuals who want to live in healthy harmony with one another, their families, and their communities. She believes that we can be healed from our Earthly life hurts by engaging in dynamic and compassionate relationships. As a prayer partner with Father Nathan, she has learned so much about love, spirituality and how we are never alone. Her husband and two daughters support her endeavors to inspire hope for those in this life and afterwards. Her relationship to athletics and pickleball is also very close to her mind, body, and soul. https://www.karensalibatherapy.comKim Sharp, LMFT, DTM, is a psychotherapist working in San Pedro, California. She loves helping people connect with the deepest part of themselves, which can promote joy, peace, and relief in their lives. Functioning from a mind-body-spirit perspective, she has witnessed how when we do our own inner work, it can lead to a deeply meaningful and fun life! Working as a prayer partner with Father Nathan, Kimberly is continually reminded of how benevolent and loving the “other side” is, and has been amazed at the creative ingenuity that is employed by heavenly helpers to support souls on their journey in the afterlife. When Kim isn't working with clients or assisting Father Nathan, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, working out, dancing, sailing, and singing. She also enjoys volunteering in various capacities with Toastmasters International and in her home parish of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in San Pedro, California.

Send us a textIn this profoundly insightful episode of the Self-Reflection Podcast, Lira sits down with serial entrepreneur, author, and venture coach Hussein Hallak, who shares his incredible journey from a challenging upbringing in Damascus, Syria, to building over 20 ventures and mentoring thousands. Hussein recounts how a lack of resources and a desire to support his family propelled him into entrepreneurship, forcing him to learn by trial and error in a time before the internet and business books were accessible. He reveals how the simple mantra of "taking action is better than doing nothing" became the cornerstone of his success, a lesson that was validated years later by one of the world's top incubators.Diving deep into the philosophy behind his book, "The Dark Art of Life Mastery," Hussein challenges the modern obsession with the mere appearance of success. He argues that true life mastery isn't found in material wealth or accolades but in one simple, profound word: joy. The conversation unpacks how to cultivate this inner joy, not as a fleeting feeling, but as a direct result of living a life of conscious choice. Hussein provides a powerful framework for understanding that even when faced with difficult circumstances, the ability to choose your response and your present reality is the ultimate source of personal power and contentment.This episode is a masterclass in navigating life's inherent uncertainty. Hussein shares practical, actionable steps for overcoming procrastination, dealing with the past, and shifting from a survival mindset to one of intentional action. He also speaks beautifully about the role of partnership, sharing how his 30-year relationship with his wife has been built on mutual accountability and demanding the best from one another. This is a timely and necessary conversation that offers a powerful antidote to the chaos of the modern world, reminding us that by taking ownership of our choices, we can find peace and purpose, no matter the storm.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Pastor David Cripps Sr // Philippians 4:1-9 // February 2, 2025

In Acts 16, we find Paul and Silas worshipping in prison, choosing hymns of hope in the darkest of circumstances. Their unwavering faith led to a miracle, not only freeing them but also bringing salvation to the jailer and his family. Pastor Dave Dummitt teaches that worship isn't merely about enduring hardships, it's about transforming lives and pointing others to Jesus. Their example calls us to embrace radical worship, understanding that our praise has the power to impact those around us and lead them to faith.

As we conclude our series in the book of Philippians, Paul describes joy that's found in generosity.

In this episode of "The Free Lawyer," host Gary interviews Katie Mickelson, a prominent family law attorney in Illinois. Katie shares her journey from public relations to becoming an equity partner in her law firm. She emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in family law, effective communication, and maintaining client relationships post-divorce. Katie discusses her leadership philosophy, which focuses on humility, teamwork, and creating a supportive work environment. She advises lawyers to find joy in their work and explore new opportunities if they feel stagnant. The episode concludes with insights on the future of legal practice and the importance of client-centered resolutions.Known for her thoughtful and straightforward approach to family law, Kathryn Homburger Mickelson has distinguished herself among her peers by identifying her individual client's goals and then drawing on her extensive courtroom and mediation experience to bring strategic and empowering representation to each case. By looking at family law issues pragmatically, Ms. Mickelson will craft strategies that will result in resolution that is efficient, expeditious and drama-free. Ms. Mickelson understands and appreciates that no client is the same and that long after family law matters are resolved, the individual and their family remain.

From business owners and professional athletes to entertainment executives and influential rain makers, Ms. Mickelson's clients come to her for her reputation among colleagues and judges as prepared, responsive, and attentive to the smallest of details, and for her no-nonsense approach to the practice of family law.

What do you do when your bike gets swept down a flooded Scottish river, you're soaked to the bone, and miles from the nearest village? Well... you'll have to listen to find out! Kerry is a blazing-fast Scottish ultra racer with deep roots in mountain biking. After racing the Highland Trail 550 for the first time in 2024, finishing just under three hours off the women's record, she came back in 2025 with her eyes set on it. What followed was an absolutely nail-biting race between her and eventual women's winner Emma Bateup (our last guest), with both women pushing the pace through torrential rain, flash floods, and highland bog. In this conversation, Kerry breaks down what really happened out there: from stormy river crossings to the moment her bike got pulled away by the current, and the long, cold walk that followed. We talk about how she's built an off-road racing life while juggling three jobs, her past as an elite mountain biker and triathlete, and how she's navigating what it means to race fast, chase joy, and tell stories that bring others along for the ride.Topics include:Highland Trail 550Racing with joy vs. racing to win, and why it's not either/orFueling, body image, and strength in endurance sportSharing the dots and building community through storytellingWorking three jobs while riding at the top level of bikepackingGet your Detours stickersIf you're keen to give Albion cycling clothing a go, use DETOURS15 at checkout for 15% off your order.Follow Kerry's adventures on Instagram: @kerrymacphee Follow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cyclingIf you love this show please consider pledging your support to sustain producing this show: https://buymeacoffee.com/detourspodcast

I Will Be Joyful In God My SaviorHabakkuk 3:17-19 "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”The theme for mentoring this month is Finding Joy in the Struggle. I was looking through some scripture verses that had to do with finding joy in the struggle this morning, and this verse came up. This verse is a favorite of mine because there is a lot going wrong for the people in this verse, and yet they chose to find joy in the Lord anyway.  The things mentioned here are not small things.  It might not seem like a big deal to us, as how many of us eat figs anyway?  However, it was a big deal at the time.  The people who wrote this depended on those crops not just for food, but also for their livelihood.  If they did not have figs, grapes, or olives, what would they sell at the market to get the other things they needed?  The verse says the fields produced no food.  What could they eat if they had no fruits or vegetables?  Normally, I would say at least they have animals to eat.  However, the verse also says, no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls.  I can't even imagine what I would do if I were in their circumstances.  This verse is basically saying that they had nothing.  They had no food, they had no animals, and if they didn't have any of that, then they didn't have anything to trade with to get the other things that they needed.  I know that we often think our situation can't really get any worse; however, for these guys, I would say that it really couldn't get much worse.  How did they react to these dire circumstances?  Did they yell and scream at God?  Did they question Him and ask Him how dare He take it all away?  Did they turn away from God? No, they didn't do any of those things.  In that very same sentence, they said, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”Wow, that is incredible.  Don't you wish you had their strength?  Don't you wish you felt the same way on your worst days?  I will rejoice in the Lord.  Not, I will trust the Lord, not I will be ok with the Lord, I will rejoice in the Lord.  What did they have to rejoice about?  Then it goes on to say I will be joyful in God my Savior.  I was about to ask you what they had to be joyful about, and then the words “in God my Savior” rattled around in my head.  They weren't joyful because of their circumstances; they were joyful because of God, their Savior.  They knew God was going to save them.  They didn't know when and they didn't know how, but they relied on the fact that God was their savior and if He saved them before, He would do it again.  Why is it so hard for us to remember this?  What came to mind was, maybe we haven't seen Him save us before.  What if we have never needed saving before, and so we don't know that He will save us this time.  If this is what you are thinking, rest assured that whatever God has done to those who have come before us, He will do to us.  If He has saved His people in the Bible, then He will save us.  Those are our people.  Remember Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”  Because Jesus saved His people in the Bible over and over again, we know He will save us.  We also know that because of His promise in Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  God will use all things for our good.  The problem is, we don't want to wait for it.  We want things to happen when we are ready, or when we think we are ready.  When are we going to come around to the fact that God's timing is perfect?  If things are going wrong for us, God's got a plan.  He might not have planned for you to get yourself into this trouble, but as soon as He saw you headed there, He came up with a plan to fix it. That is what He does.  We mess up, and He fixes it.  I truly hope He doesn't get tired of doing that.  We would be lost without Him.  Let's say that we are able to come to grips with our situation.  We acknowledge that God is doing His thing, and although we don't know how it will work out, we know it will work out. Then what do we do?  We still need to figure out a way to lessen our pain so we can live to make it through to the other side.  The people in this verse decided that, although these terrible things were happening, they were going to rejoice in the Lord.  Do you think you could persevere in this difficult time?  Do you think you could not only keep hope in the Lord, but also rejoice in the Lord?I am currently reading a new book titled Built Through Courage by Dave Hollis. In this book, Dave talked about something that I thought was a really cool idea to help us get through some really difficult times.  I know some of you are either really struggling, or you have loved ones who are.  Dave was talking about how he and Rachel, his wife at the time, had a couple that mentored them at the beginning of their relationship. This couple had a very strong faith.  The wife in this couple had a massive stroke after just having a baby. She survived it but was now confined to a wheelchair.  Dave asked her how they could still have so much faith after something so tragic had happened.  They said they relied on a scripture verse.  That scripture verse is the same as today's verse, Habakkuk 3:17-19.  This woman, who was now struggling with so much, took this verse and made it her own.  Here is what her version of the verse said:“Though I cannot walk, and I am confined to a wheelchair.  Though my face is paralyzed, I cannot smile.  Though I am extremely impaired and cannot take care of my own baby boy, yet I will rejoice in the Lord.  I will be joyful in God my savior.”The author of the book I am reading, Dave Hollis, had not heard this scripture before.  When he heard this story, he was in the middle of a divorce he did not ask for and was transitioning out of a company he ran with his ex-wife.  Everything he knew to be true about his identity was changing, and he didn't know what to do about it.  Dave decided to also adopt this verse and make it his own.  Here is Dave's verse:“Though my marriage has come to an end, and my future looks different than I thought it would.  Though this blank paper I have been handed to imagine what's next fills me with equal parts fear and excitement.  Though my identity both at home and at work is shifting under my feet, yet I will rejoice in the Lord.  I will be joyful in God my savior.”What is it that you are going through?  Whatever it is, would it help you to write your own version of this verse?  Would it help you to read that verse daily to remind yourself that God is your Savior?  Let's not forget that important part of the verse.  I will be joyful in God, my savior.  Reading this every day can give you a reminder that you are not alone and that you are not in charge of fixing everything yourself.  God is your savior.  Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to your episode today.  Lord, we thank you that we have food and the things we need to get through the day.  Lord, we thank you for these beautiful verses, and I hope we all get to rewrite them to fit our own lives.  You are our Savior, Lord God, please help us to remember!  Lord, help us to rejoice in you during the hard times.  Help us lean into you and not turn away from you.  We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.  Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.  Remember, Jesus loves you, just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in January 2025 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group, these words, or how to join us for a meeting, please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com.

When Carrie Saunders discovered she had celiac disease, she finally had answers for years of feeling sick and disconnected from her body. But navigating a medical condition that requires eliminating foods, without falling back into a restrictive dieting mentality, wasn't easy.   In this episode, Carrie shares her story of going from chronic undernourishment to postpartum weight gain, and the long journey toward finding balance, healing, and body trust. We talk about the messy middle: how to take care of your health while staying grounded in intuitive eating, and how to listen to your body (and your gut, literally and figuratively) when you've spent years tuning it out.   This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating a medical diagnosis that requires dietary changes (like celiac, diabetes, high blood pressure, food sensitivities, chronic illness, etc.) or healing after a lifetime of diet culture.    Dietary changes for health don't have to equal deprivation. Carrie's story is going to help you see how to honor your body's needs without feeling like you're missing out on the foods you love, or on life experiences that involve food.   Episode Highlights:    – What it's like to discover celiac disease after years of confusing symptoms – How Carrie learned to eat gluten-free without falling back into dieting – The emotional side of weight changes and body image – How to trust your body again after feeling betrayed by it – Why restriction for medical reasons doesn't have to mean deprivation   Resources Mentioned   - Listen to The Gluten Free Engineer Podcast with Carrie Saunders - Join The Gluten Free Engineer Facebook Group with Carrie Saunders   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey   Intuitive eating education on the blog Work with Katy Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster   Connect with Katy Harvey   Website: KatyHarvey.net Instagram: @katyharvey.rd Facebook: KatyHarveyRD    Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!
