Podcasts about The Good Life

Description:  Jen revisits this fan favorite episode with Mel Robbins. Buckle up, listeners.  It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed with Mel Robbins, one of the most respected experts on change and motivation in the zeitgeist, and today is that day. Known for being the host of the #1 ranking education podcast in the world, bringing deeply relatable topics, tactical advice, tools, and compelling conversations to her audiences, Jen and Amy spend today's hour diving into Mel's “Let Them” theory, which is taking the world by storm, already delivering instant peace and freedom in the lives and relationships of people putting it into practice. Together, they discuss: The difference between “Let Them” and “Let Me” Learning to release the white-knuckle grip we hold over other people's behavior (and other things beyond our control) Reframing disappointment to view it as a gift (yes, it's possible!) Repositioning self-worth inward, rather than leaving it dependent on others' opinions. Thought-provoking Quotes: “For a lot of women, we spend so much time upstairs in our heads as people-pleasers and over-analyzers, over-thinking and ruminating, trying to get things perfect. That's the last place I should be, personally. I need to drop into my body and get out of my head.” – Mel Robbins “People reveal who they are and what they care about through their behavior. Ignore their words. Watch their behavior. Let people be who they are. Let them do what they're going to do. Focusing on them is not where your power is.” – Mel Robbins “The difference between ‘not my business' and ‘let them' is worlds apart. When you say, ‘not my business', you're scolding yourself. With, ‘let them', you're in the power position because you see what's happening and are choosing to allow it without allowing it. You're rising above it.” – Mel Robbins Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Demotivators - https://despair.com/collections/ Effin Birds on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/effinbirds/ Van Morrison - https://www.vanmorrison.com/ No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers - https://open.spotify.com/track/0bgQ1hQrpP6ScdBZlDfLE2 Foo Fighters - https://foofighters.com/ DePeche Mode - https://www.depechemode.com/ The Cure - https://www.thecure.com/ Taylor Swift - https://www.taylorswift.com/ The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/427OHwu The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/4hc53bE The Mel Robbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast The Four Questions: For Henny Penny and Anybody with Stressful Thoughts by Byron Katie - https://amzn.to/3C7tKXT My Legacy Podcast - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-my-legacy-podcast-255793246/ Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4ajbyaz Dr. Stuart Ablon - https://www.stuartablon.com/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson - https://amzn.to/3PCqxmi Guest's Links: Website - https://www.melrobbins.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins Twitter - https://x.com/melrobbins Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We think a good life means chasing after happiness until we finally achieve it.

Manchmal reicht ein einziger Schnitt, und plötzlich wird aus dem Wirtschaftsfilm eine kleine Sketch-Comedy. In dieser Folge geht es im Credit to the Edit Podcast um genau diesen Moment: wenn ein Imagefilm mal nicht nach "Drohnenflug über das Firmengelände" klingt, sondern nach Menschen mit Geschichten. Im Gespräch wird der Imagefilm als Genre ernst genommen und gleichzeitig entmystifiziert. Was macht einen schlecht geschnittenen Imagefilm aus? Für Fabian ist das ziemlich klar: Einer, der keine Story und keine Emotion vermittelt, sondern bloß Fakten abspult. Von dort aus geht's tief rein in die Praxis: Mal über Humor und Selbstironie, mal über Rhythmus und Musik, mal über Struktur. Und zwischendrin wird deutlich: Imagefilm-Montage ist nicht „leichter" als andere Genres, sondern nur anders. Oft sogar gnadenlos anders, weil der Witz sitzen muss, sonst fällt das ganze Konstrukt in sich zusammen. Wer wissen will, wie man aus O-Tönen erst eine belastbare Tonspur baut (inklusive Abnahme-Schleife), warum Shortcuts kreatives Denken freiräumen und weshalb ein Satz wie „Das verspielt sich" im Schneideraum Gold wert sein kann: Dann ist diese Folge ist euer Play-Button. Zu Gast Fabian Prager hat sein Handwerk klassisch gelernt: Von 2007 bis 2010 absolvierte er bei der ProSiebenSat.1 Produktion eine Ausbildung zum Mediengestalter Bild & Ton. Danach ging's Richtung Unternehmertum, bis klar wurde: Das Administrative ist nicht sein Spielfeld. Stattdessen zog es ihn in den Schneideraum: Als Video-Editor war er über mehrere Jahre bei der Bavaria Communications (heute in Bavaria Entertainment aufgegangen) tätig und merkte dabei, dass ihm der Schnitt fremden Materials mehr liegt als die ursprünglich anvisierte Regie. Nach einem kurzen Ausflug in den TV-Schnitt arbeitet er seit Dezember 2021 als festangestellter Senior Video Editor bei Al Dente Entertainment im Corporate-Film-Bereich, wo er u.a. Imagefilmen Rhythmus verleiht.

Getting out of debt isn't just a math problem—it's a hope problem. That's according to Jade Warshaw, a co-host of popular syndicated program, The Ramsey Show. In this episode of the It's a Good Life podcast, Jade shares with host Brian Buffini how she and her husband started tackling a mountain of debt by taking back control, increasing their income, and committing to strategic steps. Jade also discusses how couples can navigate money conversations without shame and why empathy, patience and adaptability are essential in creating alignment. YOU WILL LEARN: Why debt payoff requires endurance and adaptability. How to have healthier money conversations using alignment language that lowers defensiveness and shame. Why quick wins matter (and how the debt snowball shortens the feedback loop so you actually stick with it). MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What No One Tells You About Money: The Real Key to Getting Unstuck from Someone Who's Been There. NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “When you're really attempting to achieve something, you know that it's [like] a crockpot. It takes time. There are challenges and endurance that have to be part of the equation. — Jade Warshaw “When we're talking about something as important as money [with a significant person in our life], it can take a long time to get on the same page.” — Jade Warshaw “A good reason can very quickly become a bad excuse.” — Jade Warshaw “Success is just choosing to make the right decision one time and then another time.” — Jade Warshaw “Preparation is a gift you give yourself.” — Jade Warshaw Hosted on Acast.

What does it really mean to live well? In a world that equated the "good life" with success, comfort, and self-fulfillment, Jesus offers a surprising invitation. In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus redefines blessing and shows us a better way to live. This series explores how the upside-down wisdom of Jesus leads us to truly experience "The Good Life".       Westbridge Church is people helping people FIND and FOLLOW JESUS! We believe that no matter where you are in your faith, there's always a next step you can take to grow in your relationship with God. As a church, we are committed to continually growing and encouraging others to grow in their faith, connect in community, share God's grace, serve others, live generously, and have serious fun along the way.   Learn more: https://westbridgechurch.com/ Connect with us: https://linktr.ee/westbridgechurchmn Current worship: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2lpxmpwwtzhkeebpp8frhihttp://spotify.com/playlist/2lpxmpwwtzhkeebpp8frhi

What does it take to be happy? And why does happiness so often slip away?In this episode of What Is a Good Life?, Mark McCartney is joined by Rasmus Hougaard for a conversation that moves from childhood questions about happiness, to monasteries in Nepal, to the boardrooms where he now works to transform leadership. Rasmus is the Founder and Chairman of Potential Project and was nominated by Thinkers 50 as one of the eight most important leadership thinkers in the world today. He's the author of The Mind of the Leader, Compassionate Leadership, and More Human: How the Power of AI Can Transform the Way You Lead.Together, they explore:Why an eight-year-old's question about happiness became a life's workThe cultural wisdom Rasmus found in Nepal that the West is missingHow his brother's death inspired his life's purposeA profound encounter with an unknown monk that transmitted unconditional loveThe difficulty of being human, even with deep practice and good intentionsThe innate goodness we all carry (and why many of us have forgotten it)What changes when leaders ask "how are you?" before "what do we need to do?"This conversation sits with both the challenge of being human and the incredible capacity we have for loving kindness. It's about the practice of returning to what matters again and again.This episode is for anyone wondering if there's more to leadership, happiness, and being human than what we've been taught.For more of Rasmus' work:Potential Project: https://www.potentialproject.com/Books: https://www.potentialproject.com/resources#01-books LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rasmushougaard/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney00:00  Why Aren't We Happy?05:30  Finding a Practice at Seventeen11:45  Wisdom in Himalayan Culture17:20  Life's Purpose from Tragedy24:30  Meeting Bodhisattva Charles31:15  Our Innate Human Goodness37:40  The Difficulty of Being Human43:10  Forced Surrender and Self-Compassion48:25  Transformation in Corporate Spaces52:15  Multiple Lives, Less Pressure54:30  What is a Good Life for Rasmus?

Jesus has the the words of eternal life. Not for some future moment, but for today. In the Sermon on the mount (Matthew 5-7), Jesus announces the arrival of God's Kingdom and what it means to live in the reality of God's present kingdom. In this message, Tessa digs into Jesus' words in Matthew 5:1-15 - the good news about who really is blessed!

Private listings, office exclusives, coming soon statuses, Zillow, Compass… whew. In this episode, Katy and Alissa tackle one of the messiest conversations happening in real estate right now: private listings in real estate and what they actually mean for agents, buyers, and sellers.   With lawsuits flying, MLS rules evolving, and brokerages rolling out their own "exclusive" systems, it's getting harder to tell what's ethical, what's legal, and what's truly in the client's best interest. Katy breaks down the Zillow vs. Compass lawsuit, while Alissa shares real-life scenarios where private listings and coming soon statuses can either protect a client—or quietly hurt them.   This episode isn't about picking sides. It's about transparency, consumer trust, and making sure agents aren't letting billion-dollar companies dictate how they serve their clients.   Here's what we cover in this episode: What private listings, office exclusives, and coming soon listings actually mean Why pocket listings quietly disappeared—and came back with new names The Zillow vs. Compass lawsuit and why listings are the real battleground How private listings affect buyers, sellers, and fair housing When coming soon listings can work *in a seller's favor* Why MLS exposure still matters for pricing and trust The real ethical issue agents should be paying attention to Key Quotes & Takeaways Alissa: "If everyone starts hiding listings, it becomes a fair housing nightmare." Katy: "This isn't about agents or platforms—it's about listings. And listings belong to the consumer." Alissa: "If the house is ready and the photos are done, it should be on the market." Katy: "Open markets create trust. Closed systems create confusion." Alissa: "If your client doesn't understand what you're doing, you're not serving them."

In Part 4 of The Good Life series, we explore a shift from living for approval to living from a deeper place of relationship.It invites us to consider how the quiet, unseen parts of our lives shape our hearts, and how where we place our attention slowly forms our sense of value, peace, and purpose.The good life Jesus describes isn't built on being noticed or getting it right—it's formed in the hidden moments that draw us closer to God.This week's challenge:For seven days, do one intentional thing each day that's just between you and God. No credit. No recognition. Simply notice what it does in you.

Mathew 5-7

How do we live well in a world we cannot control? In this episode of Wild Connection, I'm joined by Massimo Pigliucci, evolutionary biologist, philosopher, author, and one of today's leading voices on modern Stoicism. We explore stoicism not as emotional detachment or passive acceptance, but as a practical philosophy designed to help people navigate uncertainty, loss, and moral complexity with clarity and intention. Drawing on ancient Stoic thinkers and contemporary life, Massimo explains the four cardinal virtues as tools for everyday decision-making.  Books by Massimo Pigliucci: How to Be a Stoic A Handbook for New Stoics (with Gregory Lopez) Think Like a Stoic Beyond Stoicism Nonsense on Stilts Massimo's Substack  Next week, Wild Connection launches a special series on love and relationships, beginning with evolutionary anthropologist Robin Dunbar, whose work on friendship, bonding, and group size helps explain why connection is not optional, it's biological. You can keep up with me on Instagram (@RealDrJen) and check out Wild Connection TV on YouTube where I bring science to life. And check out my Substack for more writings.  

Pastor: Matt Hoaglund  Passage: Psalm 16

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with a startling claim: the good life belongs to the poor in spirit – the powerless. Far from glorifying misery or offering a future consolation prize, Jesus is naming a present reality – one that dismantles our illusions of control and redefines where true peace, freedom, and flourishing are found.

All of us want the “Good Life”.  A life with less stress, less problems and more blessings. Over coming weeks, we will be looking at what God and His Word have to say about the good life. When we are living the “good life” we will have Jesus' beatitudes. Today's Beatitude teaches us that we are to love others even when we are persecuted in order to have the good life.  #fsbccoalinga #coalinga #fsbcsermon Contact us at TheWordInfusion@gmail.com with your comments, questions or praises.  Let us know how our podcast has blessed, encouraged or helped you.  Join us on our Facebook pages at http://www.facebook.com/fsbccoalinga & http://www.facebook.com/..  Help us to grow a community that infuses the Word of God into their lives each day.  Follow us on Twitter @TheWordInfusion or @fsbccoalinga .  To support this ministry click on: https://giving.myamplify.io//app/giving/fsbccoalinga or copy and paste it into your web browser.

Send us a textThere are moments in life when you realize — very clearly — who and what is holding you up. This week, I found myself thinking deeply about the people who show up quietly, consistently, and without needing anything in return. And it made me reflect on how much of what weighs us down isn't physical at all — it's emotional, and relational.This episode is an invitation to look at relationships differently. Not through the lens of fixing, forcing, or holding on tighter — but through honesty, acceptance, and relief. If you've ever felt exhausted by relationships, confused by love, or curious about what truly helps us feel lighter — this one is for you.References1.    Waldinger, R. J., & Schulz, M. S. (2010).

“What does it really mean to live well?  In a world that equated the "good life" with success, comfort, and self-fulfillment, Jesus offers a surprising invitation.  In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus redefines blessing and shows us a better way to live.  This series explores how the upside-down wisdom of Jesus leads us to truly experience "The Good Life".   Westbridge Church is people helping people FIND and FOLLOW JESUS! We believe that no matter where you are in your faith, there's always a next step you can take to grow in your relationship with God. As a church, we are committed to continually growing and encouraging others to grow in their faith, connect in community, share God's grace, serve others, live generously, and have serious fun along the way.

What does it really mean to live a coherent life?In this episode of What Is a Good Life, Mark McCartney is joined by João Sevilhano for a deep, reflective conversation on coherence, something that goes beyond rigid moral ideals and is more a lived, imperfect practice. João is a psychologist and learning experience designer. Co-CEO of Way Beyond, where he works on human development and organisational transformation. His background is in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis. He collaborates with Porto Business School and NOVA Doctoral School, and he tends to think meaningful conversation is underrated as a tool for change.Together, they explore:What coherence feels like in everyday lifeThe tension between values, actions, and changing our mindsWhy coherence is different from authenticity or consistencyParenting, work, and small decisions as tests of alignment“Slow activism” and the impact of how we show up with othersRather than offering quick answers or formulas, this conversation sits with uncertainty, contradiction, and the discipline of paying attention - particularly when no one is watching.This episode is for anyone feeling the pull between who they are, how they live, and what the world is asking of them right now.For more of João's work:Newsletter: https://useful-uselessness.com/Way Beyond Website: https://www.waybeyond.pt/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaosevilhano/ For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney00:00  Questions as Companions07:00  Spirituality in Everyday Life13:00  Coherence as Purpose16:30  Flexibility and Awareness22:30  Discipline and Practice30:00  Helping Without Imposing36:00  Slow Activism and Stubbornness42:00  Living With Contradiction49:00  Reflection on Sacrifice54:00  Not Knowing as a Practice

Morning Mantra: "You are the creator of your own life.  You are responsible for what you choose to do with it." You cannot shortcut your life. The value of your life depends on you. You cannot take it from someone else, or borrow it, or inherit it, or marry it, or just get lucky and happen upon it. You must produce it.The good news is that each day is full of incredible opportunity. Each day you have the opportunity to move yourself in the direction of your dreams, by your own effort, by your own commitment, by your own focus, by jumping into the adventure of life and getting your hands dirty.Life must be lived, and the challenges must be met, by your own strength, discipline and character.#BeACreatorOfAGoodLife #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

What do you do when someone pushes your buttons, takes advantage of you, or treats you unfairly?In Part 3 of The Good Life series, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging and often misunderstood teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. This message invites us to rethink our natural reactions and consider a different way forward when relationships get tense.Jesus paints a picture of a life that is deeper, stronger, and more hopeful than simply getting even or shutting down. It is not easy, but it might be the kind of life we are actually longing for.

What if everything you thought you knew about homebuyers and sellers was wrong? Every year we dive into the gold mine of information inside the NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers and the Member Profile for Realtors, and y'all… the 2025 data might be the most shocking yet. In this 4th annual deep dive, we're bringing you the stats that matter—and breaking down what they actually mean for your real estate business in 2026. From skyrocketing median ages to shifts in how (and if) clients are finding their agents, this episode is your go-to resource for understanding the real people buying and selling homes right now. Spoiler: they probably don't look like the people you've been marketing to. We also chat about why real estate websites are shockingly useless, who's staying in homes longer than ever, and how to stop worrying about FSBOs entirely. Plus, Katy reveals why this data can sharpen your confidence as a Realtor and even improve your listing presentations, and Alissa shares a vulnerable moment when she almost let imposter syndrome cost her a listing. Grab your coffee (or your calculator) and let's talk buyers, sellers, and the wild stats behind them. Here's what we cover in this episode: The median age of buyers and sellers (and why it matters) The shift in first-time buyer demographics How long people are staying in their homes now What agents think is causing market stagnation The #1 way buyers and sellers choose their Realtor For Sale By Owner: how many really do it, and what they lose What types of agents are thriving—and who's leaving the industry The truth about paid leads, teams, and real estate income What the data says about your social media efforts (brace yourself) Key Quotes & Takeaways "The NAR report isn't just stats. It's a confidence builder, a client education tool, and a strategy guide." – Katy "We think everyone is like us, but they're not. That's why this data is good—it bursts the bubble." – Alissa "If you're talking to the wrong people, your marketing will never work. These numbers tell us who's actually buying and selling." – Katy "Only 6% of Realtors have real estate as their first career. That means most of us are figuring this out as a second act." – Alissa "Almost 30% of agents net less than $10,000 a year. We have to stop telling new agents that success is instant." – Katy Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Email Templates 101 Agent Systems 101 FREE Database Template Want to toast someone on the show?

Ever wish you could peek into other agents' most challenging situations and hear exactly how to handle them? That's what this episode is all about. We asked our listeners to send us their real estate dilemmas—and they delivered!   In Episode 337, we're analyzing real-life real estate scenarios: anxious buyers, builder referral incentives, tricky team splits, disclosure dilemmas, expired listings, and more. Some of these situations are tricky. Others are all-too-familiar. But every single one gets our honest take and plenty of actionable advice.   We cover the real reason clients push title companies, how to build agent referral networks that *actually* work, and what happens when you're asked to list a property next to your own rentals. Plus, Alissa shares how working with "difficult" clients early in her career turned into high-end referrals later. And Katy reminds us: don't guilt-trip yourself out of success just because your lead generation strategy has evolved.   Here's what we cover in this episode: - How to handle buyers who move too fast   - Tips for buyer consults on the fly   - New construction vs resale: what's better for a new agent?   - Should you disclose you own the property next door?   - Builder incentives and loyalty dilemmas   - Lender/title kickbacks and your ethical obligations   - When a deal falls apart—and whether to leave a bad review   - Real talk on referral networks: what works and what's a waste   - What to do when "difficult" clients land in your lap   - Should agents retire and sell their book of business? Key Quotes & Takeaways "Just because a builder offers incentives doesn't mean it's best for your client or worse. You have to get the fee sheets and compare." – Alissa "Doing your buyer consult at the first showing is totally acceptable, just be prepared and flexible." – Katy "Using your preferred lender is a luxury, not a requirement. The client comes first." – Alissa "If you're getting enough business that you don't have time to look for business... what's the problem?" – Katy "If you can handle the difficult clients, you can earn the better ones." – Alissa Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Email Templates 101 – http://emailtemplates101.com Agent Systems 101 – http://agentsystems101.com FREE Database Template – http://hustlehumblypodcast.com/starthere Want to toast someone on the show?
