Today we have Lori. She is 58 years old from Vancouver, Canada. She took her last drink on February 21st, 2024.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – the social app for sober people   [03:11] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares that his second book, Dolce Vita, is currently in the editing process and should be out by November this year. This was also the name of the bar he owned Spain when he was in his 20's. The name is Italian for “the good life” which Paul once thought he could find at the bottom of a bottle. He began to notice that his Dolce Vita had an expiration date that would get shorter and shorter over time.   The thing Paul thought was delivering the dolce vita was slowly and methodically destroying any chance of having one. It wasn't until he finally ditched the booze that the good life actually showed up. He learned that the sweetness wasn't in escaping life, it was finally showing up for it.   The good life is right here in front of us all, right here in this moment, as long as we stay away from a drink today.   [09:19] Paul introduces Lori:   Lori is 58 years old and lives in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada. She has been married for 37 years, and they have two grown children and one grandchild. Lori has been a realtor for 35 years and for fun she enjoys golf and physical fitness.    Lori shares that she had a great childhood, but her mother was an alcoholic, and it affected her negatively throughout the years. In high school, Lori aspired to be an actress and craved attention. Having an already outgoing personality, it just got bigger when she was drinking and garnered more attention.   Lori had a lot of resentments towards her mother over the years and admits she treated her poorly. They did not make amends before her mother passed, and Lori says that is when her drinking started ramping up. On the outside, everything was going well with her career and her kids, but the weekends revolved around drinking.   Some mornings Lori would wake up depressed, regretful of her actions the night before and be plagued with the “not again” feelings. Lori and her husband would discuss cutting back on drinking and she acknowledges that he only drank as much as he did because of her.   In 2022 Lori was able to quit drinking for 77 days with the help of This Naked Mind and participated in two 30-day alcohol experiments. Then something negative happened and Lori found herself reaching for a glass of wine. Before long she was drinking at any time of day, hiding alcohol in her sock drawer and sneaking shots of moonshine.   After a weekend trip with some friends where Lori could not get the happy buzz that she was looking for from the alcohol, she knew that something had to change. She joined the RE Ukelele course and decided to stick around. With the help and encouragement of some fellow members, she started to believe that maybe she could be alcohol-free.   Lori began going to a lot of chats with Café RE, first with the camera off just taking notes. She began to participate by asking questions and listening. The community has helped Lori find her mantra to hit the pillow sober every night. The first 30 days felt like the calendar was moving backwards, but she kept going.   Lori still stays social with her friends but has recently been feeling like she is at a crossroads. Some events that used to be fun no longer are and she is feeling a shift. The RE community means a lot to her and she is currently seeking more sober connections local to her.   Some of the bright lights in sobriety for Lori are the ability to be heard, being reliable, and she now feels better physically as well as mentally.   Lori's parting piece of guidance: please decide your “whys” If the cons outweigh the pros, you need to take alcohol out of your life.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up. We can do this. I love you guys.     RE on Instagram Recovery Elevator YouTube Sobriety Tracker iTunes

Known for his work at the intersection of complexity, culture, and adaptive performance, he helps leaders navigate ambiguity, build resilient systems, and lead with integrity in rapidly changing environments.

He explores how traditional leadership models often lead to burnout and disconnection, advocating for a focus on dialogue, trust, and interdependence within systems. Richard also addresses the evolution of trust in modern society, emphasising the need for transparency and adaptability in complex systems. Ultimately, he defines a good life as one where individuals can navigate their systems effectively and make meaningful contributions to their environments.For more of Richard's work, check out the following:EQ Lab Website: https://www.eqlab.co/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drrichardclaydon/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, my 5-week group courses, or to discuss experiences I create to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/- Exploring one-on-one coaching: https://www.whatisagood.life/p/one-on-one-coaching- What is a Good Life?

This week, we explore the seventh commandment—not just as a prohibition against adultery, but as a window into God's beautiful design for marriage, covenant, and holy sexuality.

Discover how the gospel offers grace, restoration, and a better way forward in a culture confused about sex.1) The framework for holy sexuality2) The applications of holy sexuality3) Encouragements to holy sexualityText: Exodus 20:14

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores how younger Americans are redefining success by prioritizing health and well-being over wealth and career. He reflects on how this shift aligns with biblical wisdom, emphasizing that the true “good life” comes from surrendering to Jesus rather than chasing money or even personal balance alone.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

"What we can be in control of we should be, especially when it comes to creativity" - Tracey Emin, Strozzi Gallery Florence - Documentary This podcast share has been percolating for some time. Over the year I have found myself musing about creativity and the importance of opening up space in our busy lives to not only make beautiful things but to be available to our creativity as a way to keep steady as technological advancements continue to shift our lives in various directions. I love that we get to have this experience and make choices along the way. Do you remember dial up Internet and how slow it was? And now we can use this incredible resource to our advantage. We can make things happen. We can be many things, all at once. It is exciting and yet, to thrive we will need to create beautiful openings in our lives to not let it undermine our ability to be creative, to be sovereign and unique as life moves us forward. I guess this conversation is about many things. It is about the necessity of creativity and the fact that great art and writing and books are beautiful things to hold onto and to be a part of. I want to share this sense that I have, that being on a creative quest is important and vital and nourishing as the noise around us gets louder vying for our attention, that we do have our own bounty of inner resources to tap into. Regardless, I am feeling that it is time to get creative and make beautiful things.

In this episode of Living the Good Life, Deb Morais and Steve Kass move seamlessly between contrasting worlds: the global tragedy unfolding in Gaza, where access to food and humanitarian aid is being severely limited, and the vibrant, growing culinary scene in Rhode Island, exemplified by Providence Restaurant Week. Deb and Steve tackle how international conflict is being simplified in media narratives, particularly the food blockade in Gaza and how actions taken by Israel - justified as security measures - inevitably impact civilians.Shift gears, and the mood lightens into a celebration of Rhode Island's Restaurant Week, the influence of Johnson & Wales alumni on local hospitality, and the role of dining promotions in supporting small business. They also touch on regional economic concerns - rising grocery costs, tariffs, and the challenges of retaining talented chefs in a competitive industry.Key TakeawaysMedia nuance matters: Coverage of Gaza's humanitarian crisis often lacks context around the complex motives, including concerns over armed groups intercepting supplies. This nuance is essential for understanding the broader conflict dynamics.Restaurant Week's impact: Statewide dining promotions like Providence Restaurant Week not only offer consumer value but also help sustain local restaurants and promote Rhode Island's culinary reputation.Broader community growth: Developments like the new Tidewater Landing stadium project show how mixed-use planning - from sports to restaurants and housing - can drive local tax revenue and revitalization.Education & future workforce: Concerns are raised about public education in Rhode Island and student retention, with optimism about AI‑enhanced tools like those from Khan Academy bridging gaps in learning and preparing graduates - like their granddaughter heading to veterinary school - for competitive futures.

Is it still success if no one claps for it? In this episode, we're rethinking what achievement really looks like. beyond the big launches, viral posts, and six-figure milestones. Because sometimes, the most meaningful wins happen offstage: a slow morning, a weekend without notifications, a moment of connection that didn't need to be shared. Kristi opens up about the pull toward a more peaceful, intentional life, and the tension that comes with it in a culture that rewards loudness. If you've ever felt out of step with the hustle narrative or wondered if your quieter life counts, this episode is for you. Let's redefine what success means, one quiet win at a time.

Johnny Ray was sentenced to life in prison, plus 50 years, for a crime he committed at just 17 years old. In the silence of an empty room after his sentencing, his painful cries of regret and hopelessness were met by an unexpected voice—the voice of God, telling him to have faith. That moment began a journey. First through the support of a religious sister, then others, Johnny experienced a spiritual conversion that transformed his life. Now, no longer behind bars, he's dedicated to inspiring faith and hope in those still incarcerated. He shares his incredible story on this episode of Hope in the Good Life.

Do you still carry guilt for things God has already forgiven? You're not alone. So many Christians live burdened by past sins—even after repenting and surrendering their lives to Christ. But Romans 8 opens with a life-changing promise: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” In Part 1 of our new series, Living the Good Life, we explore what it really means to live in the freedom of God's forgiveness. Through the powerful story of Neil Johnson—a man granted a pardon he never thought he deserved—we'll confront the doubts, emotions, and misconceptions that keep us from fully receiving God's grace. Scripture: Romans 8:1–11 Big Idea: Embracing God's forgiveness is essential to a flourishing Christian life. You'll discover: -Why many believers still feel condemned—even when they're forgiven -How false beliefs about God distort our ability to live free -The difference between guilt and repentance -What it means to truly surrender and walk by the Spirit Whether you struggle with guilt, shame, or just need a fresh reminder of God's grace—this message will speak to your heart.

As more Americans move away from organized religion, the moral and emotional needs once met by faith communities remain. What can secular society borrow from spiritual traditions — ritual, meaning, belonging and moral imagination — to nourish the human spirit and strengthen our shared civic life?

What is happiness? Why are so many Americans — by their own admission — unhappy? These are the central questions in this special episode, live from the Aspen Ideas Festival. At the festival, our house philosopher, Dr. Samuel Kimbriel, hosted a discussion with three distinguished thinkers. Adam Sandel is a philosopher and assistant district attorney in Brooklyn whose latest book is titled Happiness in Action: A Philosopher's Guide to the Good Life. Agnes Callard is a philosophy professor at the University of Chicago who just published Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life. Finally, David Brooks is a well-known opinion columnist for the New York Times whose 2016 book, The Road to Character, explores the development of a good personality.Samuel sets the stage by reading off startling statistics showing that Americans are by and large less happy today than they were even five years ago. Adam advances the idea that what makes us happy is “an activity for the sake of itself, [an] activity that is intrinsically fulfilling in the moment.” This could be sports — he cites Roger Federer as an example of a happy man, at least during tennis tournaments.Callard counters: “We can't will ourselves to do a thing for its own sake. When we know what the good is, we will do it for its own sake. Until then, we have to inquire.” She proposes an “intellectualist” approach to happiness, arguing that a life of inquiry is the best prelude to happiness.Brooks enters the fray by arguing against Callard's intellectualist approach, saying that what moves human beings is “intensity” and “surrender,” and that the things that bring us joy are necessarily plural, not singular. Callard argues back, contending that Brooks confuses those things which human beings want with those things that are actually good.It's a rollicking discussion complemented by Samuel's deft moderation and questions from the audience concerning grief, internal versus external goods, and the common good.

This week, McKay introduces a practical and powerful challenge: the one-month happiness test. Drawing inspiration from Laurie Santos's famous Yale course, "Psychology and the Good Life," this episode moves beyond big, life-altering events to focus on the small, consistent actions that are scientifically proven to boost happiness. McKay breaks down simple yet profound practices like savoring positive moments, actively choosing your focus through selective attention, expressing gratitude, performing acts of kindness, and strengthening social connections. Through relatable stories and real-world examples, he illustrates how these "micro-adjustments" can retrain our brains, counteracting our natural negativity bias and leading to a more joyful, fulfilling life. Listeners are invited to take the test for themselves and discover how intentional, daily habits can create lasting change.Main Themes:Happiness comes from small, consistent changes, not just big life events.You can retrain your brain to focus on the positive through selective attention.Savoring positive experiences - before, during, and after - deepens their impact.Practicing gratitude is a powerful choice that turns what you have into enough.Acts of kindness boost happiness for both the giver and the receiver.Strong social connections are a primary predictor of a long, happy life.Exercise and sleep are foundational pillars for mental well-being and happiness.You can become the author of your life by choosing what to focus on and practice.What you notice becomes your reality.A one-month test is long enough to implement new habits and see real results.Top 10 Quotes:"The strange truth is... most people return to their baseline level of happiness after these major life events. This phenomenon is called the hedonic treadmill.""Tiny, regular changes to your daily life often make a bigger, longer-lasting difference than these big things.""Your brain is built to scan for problems... but you can change what you focus on, and it will help you be more happy.""Savoring is the deliberate, post-activity act of looking back on what you've done and taking time to appreciate it.""Gratitude turns what we have into enough.""Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what kept people happy throughout their lives.""These examples aren't miracles; they're micro-adjustments in their lives.""You get to choose what you'll focus on. So this month, to test your happiness, focus on the good.""Kind service has this magic feel to it."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

The most misunderstood Stoic practice is Memento Mori - remember you will die. Dr. Laurie Santos, an expert on the science of happiness, joins Ryan to share the research behind why thinking about your mortality is proven to increase happiness. Dr. Laurie shares how to balance negative and positive visualizations for a fulfilling life, the Stoic practices that she swears by, and practical applications of Stoic and Buddhist teachings. Dr. Laurie Santos is an expert on the science of happiness and the ways in which our minds lie to us about what makes us happy. Her Yale course, “Psychology and the Good Life,” teaches students how the science of psychology can provide important hints about how to make wiser choices and live a life that's happier and more fulfilling. The class became Yale's most popular course in over 300 years, with almost one out of four students enrolled. Her course has been featured in the New York Times, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, GQ Magazine, Slate and O! Magazine. The online version of the class—The Science of Well-Being on Coursera.org—has attracted more than 4 million learners from around the world. A winner of numerous awards both for her science and teaching, she was recently voted as one of Popular Science Magazine's “Brilliant 10” young minds, and was named in Time Magazine as a “Leading Campus Celebrity.” Listen to Dr. Laurie's podcast, The Happiness Lab, where she shares the latest scientific research on what it means to be truly happy.
