Podcasts about Flourishing

The flourishing mother knows who she is. Well, who is she? You'll find out in this podcast.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by Joan Lunden for a conversation about the moments that shaped her extraordinary career and the lessons she's carried into this next chapter of life. We talk about breaking into a male-dominated television industry with no experience, why she's always believed in saying "yes" before feeling ready, and how learning on the job became one of the greatest keys to her success.Joan is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, television host, and motivational speaker who has been a trusted voice in American homes for more than 50 years. As the longest-running female host of Good Morning America, she broke barriers in broadcast journalism and has continued to inspire millions through her resilience, reinvention, and advocacy for women's health.We also discuss what happened after she left Good Morning America, why purpose became more important than prestige, how her breast cancer diagnosis led her into advocacy, and why she's become such a strong believer in cultivating female friendships later in life. This conversation is full of practical wisdom about staying open to new opportunities, embracing reinvention, and continuing to find meaning and purpose long after the career chapter you thought would define you.For more on Joan, follow her on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoanLunden Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealjoanlunden Buy her memoir, Life Beyond the Script: https://www.amazon.com/JOAN-Beyond-Script-Joan-Lunden/dp/1637634927 Website: https://joanlunden.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Quince: Go to Quince.com/flourishing for free shipping on your order and 365-day returnsQualia Life Sciences: Go to qualialife.com/FLOURISHING for 50% off.

Send us Fan Mail Why God's Design Was Always Bigger Than You What if God's ultimate purpose for your marriage isn't simply your happiness—but His glory?In this final episode of the series, we discover that marriage has always been about something greater than two people. Through Ephesians 5, you'll see how God's design for husbands and wives is a living picture of Christ's love for His Church. When we stop making marriage about ourselves and start making it about revealing Jesus, everything changes. Flourishing isn't the goal—it's the fruit of lives surrendered to God's authority and committed to displaying the Gospel to the world.

Over half of us identify as generalists and most workplaces still aren't built for us.Siobhán O'Riordan, founder of Big Sea Strategies and author of Reframe, joins Ashish Kothari to make the case that in a world changing faster than any playbook, the "ubiquitous and yet unseen" generalist is exactly the talent leaders need.She shares the story behind her own pattern of "crushing it or crashing out," why fit beats effort every time, and three concrete moves any generalist can use to name their value and thrive in a system wired for specialists: know your value from the outside in, manage up to make it visible, and protect your range by saying no on purpose. A conversation for anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit the org chart and for the leaders who keep losing their most adaptive people.What You Will Learn:Flourishing is a fit problem, not an effort problem.The same person, bringing the same energy, can thrive in one role and be shown the door in another. Before you push harder, examine the context: do you have the freedom, authority, and cover to do what you actually do well?Generalists are defined externally so define yourself first.Specialists come with built-in expectations; generalists don't. Ask five to ten colleagues what value you brought them, then learn to name how you think out loud: "I'm someone who sees patterns and gaps."Control your talents, or they will boss you around.A room full of ideas is a liability if you dump all 100. Know your strengths, bring the best three, and pair with people (and AI) who turn ideas into finished work. Generalists cannot work alone.In a fast-changing world, generalists lead adaptation.As "expert practitioners," they test, connect dots, and absorb the risk specialists can't. Think of the hospitalist who knows enough about every specialty to prioritize care for one whole patient.To thrive in a specialist world, get strategic.Know your value, stay connected to other generalists, and get smart about what you say no to. Don't fight gravity, build specialization where you must, and augment your gaps with technology and partnership.Episode Chapters: 00:00 Why fit matters more than effort01:08 Flourishing starts with self-knowledge03:40 What actually defines a generalist11:18 Expert practitioners and the hospitalist metaphor16:19 Crushing it or crashing out: Siobhán's story23:56 Context, freedom, and the right roles for generalists29:46 Turning curiosity into disciplined value34:36 How AI powers the one-person unicorn35:02 From seeing the pattern to naming it41:50 Thriving as a generalist in a specialist world44:44 Three moves you can make todayResources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Siobhán O'RiordanRecommended Reading: ReframeHow Generalists Thrive in a Changing WorldConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessTEDx: How to make flourishing your competitive edgeYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

In today's teaching from Exodus 15, we walk through the first song recorded in Scripture. Before God gave Israel the 10 commandments or led them into the Promised Land, He gave them a new refrain: "The Lord is my strength, my song, and has become my salvation." The song of Moses reminds us that worship isn't just expressing what we feel it's rehearsing what is true. God replaces the songs that our past, our culture, and the enemy sings over us, by becoming our strength, our song, and salvation. Like every story in Exodus it points us to Jesus, the greater Deliverer who leads us into His healing. Come and Seek the Lord With Us www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit

When colleges and universities think about student well-being, the conversation often begins and ends with counseling centers. But what if student well-being is much broader than mental health services alone? In this episode of On Campus, Dr. Maithreyi Gopalan, Associate Professor at the University of Oregon, for a discussion about how institutions can build a campus-wide approach to student well-being by focusing on belonging, connection, and student flourishing. Based on her research, Dr. Gopalan explains why a student's sense of belonging is strongly connected to persistence, graduation, academic success, and mental health outcomes. The conversation explores practical strategies for higher education leaders, including measuring belonging as an institutional outcome, conducting regular student pulse checks, strengthening advising and first-year experiences, and creating meaningful connections throughout the student journey. Dr. Gopalan also discusses the role faculty play as "first responders" in supporting students, the importance of equity-centered well-being initiatives, and why institutions must move beyond reactive approaches to create environments where all students can thrive. Whether you're a student affairs professional, faculty member, administrator, or higher education leader, this episode offers research-based insights for building a more supportive and successful campus community.  Resources Gopalan, M., & Brady, S.

Send us Fan MailWhy do we ask God to restore what we're unwilling to surrender?In this episode, we're opening the book of Judges to uncover a sobering pattern: partial obedience always leads to compromise. The Israelites entered the Promised Land but refused to fully obey God's commands, and one generation later they had forgotten the Lord and were living according to their own ways. What does this have to do with marriage? More than you think. If we're praying for God's blessing while resisting His authority, we're building on the wrong foundation. Flourishing begins with conviction, confession, repentance, and wholehearted obedience.

New global research associated with Harvard University suggests that people who regularly attend church tend to do better in life than people who do not. The Global Flourishing Study is following more than 200,000 people across 22 countries and tracking not only happiness, but meaning and purpose, relationships, character, mental and physical health, life satisfaction and material stability.But if churches are helping people flourish, what is happening to the pastors who lead them? Senior pastors carry grief, crises, expectations and organisational responsibility that most people never see. A church may appear to be growing and successful while its pastor is quietly being depleted.And how do we know whether a church itself is healthy? Valerie Ling joins us from the Center for Effective Serving to explore richer ways of recognising flourishing in pastors, churches and the communities they serve.Anglican AidTo find out more about supporting Anglican Aid.

Learning to delight in Jesus is the way to a flourishing life.

Veronique de Rugy uses a 700-year-old Siena fresco to discuss the virtues of good governance. The artwork illustrates that a flourishing society requires the rule of law and justice. She cautions that modern industrial policies and government cronyism represent the same arbitrary governance the fresco warns against. (16)TUSCANY POSTCARD

How are you mothering in your home? Are you wilting? Just surviving? Or flourishing? Today we begin a new series, discussing how you can go from wilting to flourishing. Psalm 128:3 states: "Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, FLOURISHING within your home."

In today's teaching from Exodus 12, guest speaker Josh Gardner walks us through how Passover is not only about Israel's rescue from Egypt, but points us to Jesus and the greater Passover.. In Exodus the blood of the spotless lamb was the sign of God's mercy, foreshadowing Jesus, the true Lamb of God, whose sacrifice delivers us from sin and death. The invitation of the gospel isn't to trust in our own strength, but to trust in sufficiency of Christ. Josh closed the sermon by invited us to examine in our hearts if our lives are marked it's marked by gratitude and worship. One of the ways we can practice cultivating this is by being a community of believers who encourage one another to practice daily gospel rhythms that keep our hearts anchored in Christ, who has rescued us.

Instead, it's about intentionally creating spaces for connection, agency, and shared growth. In this conversation, Daniel and I discuss where to begin to help a team flourish. Key Points Life (and leadership) is treasure creation, not a treasure hunt. Flourishing environments encourage experimentation, agency, and even mistakes, allowing ownership and innovation to thrive. If leaders think like designers, using questions and constraints, they will more likely unlock people's full potential. Simple acts such as little “thank you's” build psychological safety and lay the foundation for flourishing groups. Some of the world's greatest innovations emerged from environments that welcomed surprise, cross-pollination, and flexibility. Value the art of asking good questions over having all the answers.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm reflecting on one of the greatest lessons I took away from my recent tour: the incredible power of female connection. As we move through midlife, many of us experience shifts in our relationships, our families, and our sense of community. I share insights on healing trust, embracing vulnerability, and why community is essential to healthy aging. I also share practical ways to meet like-minded women, the power of saying yes to uncomfortable experiences, and how faith, service, and shared experiences can help us build intentional community.Have a question for Dominique?

What does it mean to live a good life?  Is an ethical life always a desirable life, and vice versa?  And what exactly is a 'virtue', anyway?  Aristotle, student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, had important and interesting answers to these questions. Join the Gwartney Institute for a discussion of Aristotle's conception of Ethics, and why we still in intellectual debt to this most excellent Ancient Philosopher.

This Sunday we will take a look at the front door of the book of Psalms, Psalm 1. Psalm 1 contrasts two ways to live—the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. One way leads to flourishing and fruitfulness. The other leads to emptiness and judgment. In a world full of competing voices telling us where to find happiness and fulfillment, Psalm 1 points us to where true wisdom and thriving are found. Join us this Sunday as we discover how to live a life that is deeply rooted and spiritually fruitful.

Psalm 128, Ben Rogers

From putting God first to stewarding yourself well, prioritizing your marriage, and leading your home with intentionality, you'll discover that right order isn't about perfection—it's about alignment.Because when your priorities are aligned with God's design, peace becomes the overflow instead of something you're constantly chasing.

How do we encourage human flourishing? How, in fact, do we make the thriving of all 8 billion humans and the More than Human World central to all that we are and do?  It's a core tenet of this podcast, that if each of us were able to discover what's ours to do - and, more importantly, to be - and were supported in the inter-becoming that would arise from bringing the best of ourselves to the table…we'd be well on the way to the transformation we need to get us through the pinch points of the climate, cultural and technological apocalypses that are heading our way. So in today's episode, we're talking with someone who crosses many disciplines in search of eudaimonia - the concept of human flourishing, of 'finding our best self' proposed by Plato and expanded by Aristotle.  Dr Jenna Mikus is an engineer and architect by training, and is now a consultant and strategic advisor who specialises in balancing architectural science with wellbeing science to promote flourishing health and wellbeing by design across a wide range of environments.  As you'll hear, she did her PhD during lockdown in the ways it might be possible to help elderly people find meaning and purpose - in scientific terms, to attain self determination - in their lives.  And now she is an academic and consultant who acts as an ideas "alchemist," helping companies curate environments & experiences for eudaimonia to support optimal health and wellbeing, precipitate ineffable emotions like delight & awe, promote meaning, inspire creativity, & catalyse belonging, and innovate. She's founder of the Eauda-Group and helped found the 'Flourishing by Design' (FxD) community of practice affiliated with Harvard's Human Flourishing Network. In a world where those who accumulate wealth are increasingly leaning towards mass extinction as if it were somehow going to be useful, it's so refreshing to explore the ways we can be differently human.  Enjoy!Jenna on LinkedInJenna on Google Scholar—About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'BECOMING A GOOD ANCESTOR' which will run on Sunday 13th September 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are here.

What does it really mean to flourish as a Christian woman?You can love God, know who you are in Christ, and still find yourself wondering, “Am I missing something?” You are doing your best. You are showing up for your responsibilities. Life may even look fine from the outside. But deep down, you know you were made for more than simply surviving.In the very first episode of the She's Made to Flourish Podcast, Amanda Ross-Hardin shares the question that led her on a three-year journey with God to understand what it truly means to flourish.Flourishing is not about having a perfect life. It is about growing and developing in a healthy way as the result of a favorable environment. That means we have to look honestly at the environments, practices, relationships, and rhythms shaping our lives.In this episode, we talk about:• The difference between surviving and flourishing• Why knowing your identity in Christ is powerful, but not the end of the work• What the definition of “flourish” teaches us about growth• The environments we are creating around our purpose, health, relationships, and trials• How to identify an area of your life that needs more room to grow• A practical Flourish Practice you can begin this weekThis podcast is for the Christian woman who loves God but knows there are areas of her life that are still waiting to bloom.You are not behind. You are not broken. And you are not asking for too much.You were made to flourish.────────────────────JOIN THE GARDEN ROOMamandarosshardin.com/the-garden-roomThe Garden Room is our free community for Christian women, featuring monthly Bible study and a weekly podcast worksheet to help you apply the Flourish Practice from each episode.────────────────────EXPLORE COACHING WITH AMANDAamandarosshardin.com/coaching────────────────────CONNECT WITH AMANDAWebsite: amandarosshardin.comInstagram: @amandarosshardin────────────────────Subscribe to the She's Made to Flourish Podcast and turn on notifications so you do not miss the next conversation.#ShesMadeToFlourish #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast

In today's teaching text from Exodus 7:1-7, Pastor Benjer walks us through the first nine plagues and reminds us that beneath every act of judgment is the heart of a God who is pursuing His people. The Lord reveals Himself as the One who cannot be ignored, the One who draws near and calls a people His own, and reveals there is none like Him. Every false king, every competing allegiance, and every idol eventually will fail to deliver, but the Lord invites us to lay down our own rule and surrender to His. Often in our lives, what feels like disruption is, in reality, God's mercy awakening us to the freedom, life, and rest that can only be found under the loving reign of Christ. www.flourishinggrace.org.

In today's episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by Dr. Pam Theriot, an optometrist, author, and dry eye specialist with more than 20 years of experience in eye care. Dr. Pam leads the Dry Eye Relief Center at Lusk Eye Specialists in Louisiana and, after experiencing her own struggles with dry eye early in her career, made it her mission to help others find lasting relief and restore comfort, confidence, and clarity. Together, we explore why dry eye has become increasingly common and how menopause, hormone replacement therapy, inflammation, and screen time may all be contributing factors. Dr. Pam explains what's actually happening inside the eye when dry eye develops, how to choose the right eye drops, and the treatment options available when over-the-counter solutions aren't enough.We also dive into the beauty habits that may be harming our eyes, her thoughts on castor oil, radiofrequency treatments, IPL for rosacea, and the daily habits that can help protect our vision and support healthy aging for years to come.For more on Dr. Pam, follow her on:Website: www.pamtheriot.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pam.theriot/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@alleviatedryeyewithdr.T TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pamtheriot6 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pamtheriot Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDryEyeReliefDoctors Get the Beauty Guide for Sensitive Eyes: https://www.pamtheriot.com/remover Thanks to my Sponsors:Caraway: Visit Carawayhome.com/OVER to take an additional 10% off using code OVER on your next purchaseBranch Basics: Whether you're going all-in on safe cleaning swaps or just starting small, find Branch Basics at Target and Target.com todayVeracity Selfcare: For up to 65% off your order, head to VeracityHealth.co and use code FLOURISHINGBiOptimizers: Go to bioptimizers.com/flourishing and use code FLOURISHING for 15% off your entire order + a free travel size bottle of Masszymes added to your order automatically when you use my exclusive code FLOURISHING AttnGrace: Visit www.attngrace.com/discount/FLOURISHING and use code FLOURISHING for 20% off.Life Pro: Visit lifeprofitness.com and use code OVER50 for $20 off the Waver Vibration Plate plus Free ShippingKeep in Touch:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=enYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetvHave a question for Dominique?

Description: As part of our Freedom & Flourishing series this Pride Month, we're revisiting the most downloaded episode in the history of For the Love—a conversation that has continued to ripple through families, friendships, and faith communities for years after it first aired.Six years ago, Jen sat down with her daughter Sydney to hand her the microphone and invite her to tell her own story in her own words. What followed was a brave, tender, and deeply honest conversation about growing up gay in the church, loving Jesus while feeling afraid and alone, and finding the courage to embrace the fullness of who you are.Sydney shares what it was like to navigate faith and identity as a young person, the messages she received from churches and Christian leaders, and the real impact those messages have on LGBTQIA+ kids sitting quietly in pews every Sunday. Together, Jen and Sydney discuss what true allyship requires, why affirmation matters, and how we can create homes, communities, and faith spaces where people are cherished exactly as they are.In this episode:Sydney shares her journey of growing up gay within a Christian family and faith communityA candid conversation about faith, identity, and belongingWhat churches and Christian leaders need to understand about LGBTQIA+ youthWhy allyship requires more than acceptance—it requires actionA call to advocate for and protect transgender people, who often face the greatest vulnerabilityHow creating safe, welcoming spaces helps all people flourishContent Note: This episode includes discussion of the mental health challenges, isolation, and discrimination often experienced by LGBTQIA+ youth.Thought-provoking Quotes:"I was just scared, and alone. And I wanted to have it all. I wanted to have my family, and God, and my future. And I didn't think I'd be able to have it all." — Sydney Hatmaker"It doesn't matter how loving you are, or what emphasis on Scripture you come with. That's not enough if you're not fully accepting them as children of God." — Sydney Hatmaker"The biggest act of allyship you can make is using your voice in places where marginalized people feel less safe." — Sydney HatmakerResources Mentioned in This Episode:This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel — https://www.lauriefrankel.net/this-is-how-it-always-is.htmlHuman Rights Campaign LGBTQ+ Youth Research — https://www.thehrcfoundation.org/reports/collections/youth-report-collectionHRC & University of Connecticut LGBTQ+ Youth Study — https://reports.hrc.org/2023-lgbtq-youth-reportConnect with Jen!Website: https://jenhatmaker.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerTwitter: https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Facebook: https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmakerThe For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

Pam King is back, and this conversation moved at the pace it wanted to. She runs the Thrive Center at Fuller Theological Seminary, and the framework she has built there is the most useful integration of psychological science and Christian theology I have come across — six facets that spell THRIVE, with a telos she calls the reciprocating self. We started with Stanford and seminary and ended with how the church is asking nine-year-olds to defend their interpretation of Torah when what they actually need is a fifth adult who knows their name. In between: the difference between flourishing and thriving, the Altadena fires Pam watched from her office window, how Winnicott's good enough mother maps onto how children come to relate to God, what Mark Labberton's seminary depression taught him about liturgy, why I rebuilt our confirmation class around questions instead of doctrines, and the prayer I have been praying with my daughter Khora since she was an infant.

In today's episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and nonprofit founder Mandi Brown-Hayley for a deeply moving conversation about the life-changing experience that reshaped her family's future.Just one month after finalizing her divorce, Mandi found herself facing an unimaginable loss while simultaneously helping her children navigate grief, confusion, and difficult questions no parent is ever prepared to answer. Together, we discuss what it was like to live alongside mental health struggles within a marriage, the difficult decision to leave after years of trying to make it work, and the tools that helped her family find healing during one of the darkest seasons of their lives.Mandi also shares how that profound loss ultimately led her to discover a greater purpose. Inspired by the support she received from family, friends, her faith, and counseling, she founded The Loved Ones Left Behind, an organization dedicated to helping families facing similar circumstances. Through financial assistance, resources, and compassionate support, the foundation helps families navigate overwhelming moments, find hope, and begin rebuilding their lives.If you or someone you know is in distress or experiencing a mental health crisis, immediate help is available. You can quickly connect with free, confidential support by calling or texting 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.For more on Mandi, follow her on:Organization No Loved Ones Left Behind: https://thelovedonesleftbehind.com/ Email: mandi@thelovedonesleftbehind.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelovedonesleftbehind Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesleftbehind/# Thanks to my Sponsors:Cozy Earth: Head to cozyearth.com and use my code FLOURISHINGBOGO to buy one, get one free.
