Podcasts about The Good Life

Today, we're introducing a new conversation format that we'll be working into the mix called Good Life Jams. These sessions take on 2-3 hot topics and go deep. Today's conversation partner is Leah Smart, a senior editor at LinkedIn, a writer and speaker, and the host of Everyday Better.The topics we're digging into: When women earn more, the physical housework shrinks. The mental load doesn't move at all. What's going on there? And why are self-help books crashing, while coaching is taking off? In this conversation, you'll explore:Why the most common fix for an overloaded household leaves the heaviest part completely untouchedThe question Leah's husband asked her about the word "good" that quietly reset her entire standard for running a homeWhat the data leaves out, and why the scorekeeping it invites can erode a long partnershipSelf-help book sales fell roughly 25% in a year while coaching grew about 15%, and what people are actually paying for insteadThe one thing a human can do that no book and no chatbot can, which may be the real reason the advice stopped workingBoth halves of this conversation land in the same place, which is that the discomfort you keep trying to optimize away is usually the thing worth turning toward instead.You can find Leah at: Instagram | Everyday Better with Leah Smart Substack | Episode TranscriptCheck out our sponsors and resources: Visit Our Sponsor Page Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Beat Motel, Andrew hands over the reins to Dr. Sam for a deep dive into the legendary, prison-escaping, 6-string wielding titan that is Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter . We wade through the chaotic history of his iconic 1940 RCA Victor sessions for The Midnight Special and Other Southern Prison Songs, explore how he basically invented modern pop, folk, skiffle, and rock music, and debate whether the neighbour's family in The Good Life made their money from slavery . Along the way, we hit the Portsmouth Sinfonia , the Lomax family's questionable white-saviour complex , Kurt Cobain's obsessed cover era , Bertolt Brecht's weird German poetry , and a Brazilian Jewish kids' cover of Pick a Bale of Cotton that nearly caused a heart attack in the editing suite . It is rough, informative, completely off the rails, and full of musical detritus. Put it in your ears.

Somewhere along the way, getting into the “right” college became proof that childhood had gone well. Ana Homayoun, author of Getting In Is Not Enough, joins Ginny Yurich to challenge that faulty finish line and look at what actually prepares kids for a good life. They talk about adaptability, focus, friendship, executive functioning, perfectionism, energy, free time, and why kids need room to build their own blueprint instead of spending childhood checking all the right boxes. This conversation is a reminder that our kids need more than an impressive college résumé. They need the skills and confidence to find their way in a world that keeps changing.

Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister explore why modern life can leave people feeling disconnected, restless, and dissatisfied, examining Ian McGilchrist's ideas about human flourishing through people, place, and prayer. They discuss the importance of meaningful community, connection to nature, worship, tradition, Christian faith, and having a larger story that gives life cosmic significance. Nathan and Cameron also consider how modern individualism, mobility, technology, economic opportunity, and the breakdown of traditional institutions have reshaped the way people think about relationships, family, work, and the good life. Drawing on Christian theology, Ian McGilchrist, C.S. Lewis, Wendell Berry, Charles Taylor, Paul Kingsnorth, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, they offer practical reflections on cultivating rootedness, resisting isolation, staying connected to meaningful communities, and learning to rejoice in goodness even when it is not personally experienced. This conversation asks an important question for Christians and young adults today: What does it actually take to build a meaningful, rooted, and flourishing life?Link to referenced video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raggjja9lMQ DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate  BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speaker JOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect  TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

From the series, "Being Human: Living the Good Life" with Dave Stimers.Part 3: Beyond Efficiency. We've never been better at getting things done and yet some of the most important things in life can't be rushed, optimized, or measured. What if the things that make us human - love, wisdom, faith, intimacy, and meaning, require something our culture rarely gives us: time and attention? This week, we'll explore what it means to slow down, abide with Jesus, and make room for the deeper things that can only grow over time.

This week we're doing a little podcast therapy of our own, because burnout comes for all of us. We started this episode because we needed it, and if we're honest, we figured a lot of you needed it too. So instead of just handing you a list of quick fixes, we decided to do the harder thing first: name it. Burnout, it seems, can come at us for a lot of reasons. We're breaking burnout down two ways. First by where you are in your career: seasoned agent, new agent, or part timer. Then by the universal types that don't care about your years in the business at all: market related, personality based and situational. We even confess our own personal "burnout cocktails" so you know you're not alone. This one is part pep talk, part permission slip. You don't have to quit. You just have to learn to rest. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why we're starting with "name it to tame it" instead of jumping straight to tips Seasoned agent burnout: seeing the process and consumer get more difficult New agent burnout: rejection, comparison, and the overwhelm of trying to learn everything at once Part time agent burnout: the honest conversation about whether your goals actually match the effort you're able to give Market related burnout: rising interest rates, affordability struggles, and a real client story about a buyer's max budget dropping almost overnight Feast or famine burnout: the cycle of busy to crickets to panic, and why real estate paychecks are always "future" money Comparison driven burnout and why social media numbers are just a vanity metric Systems failure burnout: chasing shiny new tools instead of building repeatable systems Financial stress burnout, and why we think it's the most dangerous type of all Practical ways to rest without quitting   Key Quotes & Takeaways:   "You have to name it to tame it." -Dr. Daniel Siegel "Learn to rest, not to quit." -John Greenleaf Whittier "Don't kill yourself for a job that would replace you in a week." -Alissa "The goalposts do continually move. No matter how well you do, you're constantly climbing the mountain, and you're never at the top." -Katy "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." -serenity prayer Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Episode 3: Mindset Meltdown (hustlehumblypodcast.com/3) Agent Systems 101 (agentsystems101.com) Hustle Humbly Community (hustlehumblypodcast.com/membership)   Want to toast someone on the show?

Jake Harriman—Naval Academy grad, Force Recon Marine, Bronze Star, founder of Nuru International and The Brickyard (formerly More Perfect Union)—joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast on a simple fear: you can live a good life and still waste it. After years off-grid fighting extremism through livelihoods, he came home and didn't recognize the country he'd fought for. Now he's building higher ground, not just common ground—40,000 Americans swinging hammers together, Civic Valor in schools, and five steps from his book Rescuing the Idea of America: believe, serve, connect, lead, restore. Also: loneliness, agency vs. the algorithm, and why one life changed is enough.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

We all want the good life, but we don't always agree on what that means. We chase success, security, comfort, happiness, meaningful relationships, and the freedom to live life on our own terms. But what if the life we're chasing isn't the life Jesus is inviting us into? This year, we're pulling up a chair to listen to stories Jesus told about the good life. Through parables about grace, money, success, neighbors, risk, and the Kingdom of God, Jesus will challenge our assumptions and invite us to see our lives differently. We won't simply learn what Jesus said; we'll ask what his stories reveal about the life we are actually meant to live. So pull up a chair, listen to Jesus, and discover that the good life may be far better than the one we've been chasing.

Join Bay City Campus Pastor Tamara Schlatter and Senior Pastor Josh Pardee as they explore the message from week 3 of our current series, The Good Life.

This sermon looks at Philippians 3 and what Paul considers to be the grounds on which we can say we have acquired "the good life"

This final sermon in the series looks at some very famous words in Philippians 4 and shows us what it looks like to live a life of contentment in every circumstance.

This week we farewell Nic, V and the Gilmour family as they finish up their season of leadership here at Goodlife. Nic finishes off our The Way of the King series with a message based on Matthew 10:1-8 encouraging us to be ambassadors for Jesus. -------

This week Laura is unpacking stories from Matthew 9: 18-38 the interlinked stories of Jairus seeking healing for his daughter and the bleeding women who was healed by touching Jesus' cloak. Laura reflects on the desperation that motivated them. Generally when we talk about desperation it is not a good thing, often desperation is associated with anxiety or addiction, when you so desperately want or need something. There is one thing we can be desperate for that is positive and won't lead to anxiety. JESUS. Jesus is a God who meets his people in their desperate need. For reasons we don't always understand, he may not immediately fix our situations, but he is always with us in the waiting. ------

Our friend, special guest Pastor Tedd Jordan preaches an on time message from Psalm 84.

Read OnlineThe “Good” LifeHerod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying, “John has been raised from the dead”; others were saying, “Elijah has appeared”; still others, “One of the ancient prophets has arisen.” But Herod said, “John I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things?” And he kept trying to see him. Luke 9:7–9Something peculiar happens when those who refuse to live according to God's will witness His presence in the lives of others—they become unsettled, even confused. Herod was one of these souls. Though Jewish by name, he lived a life of self-indulgence, pride, and moral compromise. Upon hearing of Jesus and His mighty works, Herod's fascination was mingled with inner disturbance. His conscience was especially agitated by guilt over his execution of John the Baptist.Herod's perplexity did not arise from a sincere openness to faith, but from fear, guilt, and superstition. Sin had so darkened his heart that he could not perceive the grace of God manifest in Christ. The Gospel tells us that despite Herod's interior turmoil, “he kept trying to see Him.” This desire reveals a divided soul—one curious about the truth, yet unwilling to embrace it.Herod offers us not an example of virtue, but a warning. Those who resist the will of God may still catch glimpses of Him through the holiness of others. But without repentance, such encounters bring neither peace nor clarity. In Herod's case, his fascination resulted first in torment, then in silence. When Jesus finally stood before Herod during the Passion, our Lord did not utter a word. That silence was a judgment upon his hardened heart.Looking at Herod's life, many might have envied him. He was rich, powerful, dined in luxury, lived in magnificent palaces, and enjoyed the protection of Rome. Though such monarchs are rare today, the allure of worldly wealth and fame remains strong. The modern equivalents—the celebrities, influencers, and elite—draw millions of admirers. Social media exalts their lifestyles, while the world glorifies indulgence, comfort, and social prestige.But to what end? Is it to enjoy life in the moment, seizing every earthly pleasure? What happens when this life ends and we stand before the Judgment Seat of God? At that hour, every fleeting comfort will vanish, and we will be left with the state of our soul. Herod's worldly success was ultimately empty. He lacked peace in this life, and, without conversion, his eternal fate was sealed in that same unrest.Herod's life is depicted in the Gospels for a reason. From his example, we must lift the veil of worldly and sensory indulgence and see them for what they are—not only in light of their eternal consequences, but also the interior ruin they cause even now. Such a life has no power to save, no ability to satisfy beyond the moment, and always leaves the soul perplexed and curious—a curiosity that ends in confusion.Those whose hearts are fixed on such indulgence will always hunger for more and never be satisfied. The best way to avoid the lure of sinful indulgence is to immerse ourselves in the purifying truths of the Gospel. Truth both purifies and liberates. It frees the soul to become the temple of God it was created to be—radiant with holiness, living in joyful union with Him and in spiritual communion with others. Nothing could be greater in this life, and nothing else will satisfy in the next.Reflect today on any lingering confusion, fear, or disordered curiosity you may carry when encountering Christ in your life. Do you approach Him like Herod—curious but uncommitted—or with a heart that is ready to be purified and transformed? Let the example of Herod lead you away from perplexity and into conversion. Truth Himself stands before you. Do not remain merely curious. Surrender in faith, and the riches of God's Kingdom will be yours.Lord of true riches, the power, wealth, and fleshly indulgences of this world are seductive. Please lift the veil from my eyes, so that I may see clearly the emptiness behind their promises. Free me from every deception, and draw my heart to desire only You. May Your Kingdom be my constant aim where freedom is found and the riches of grace and eternal happiness await.

We have overcomplicated the absolute sh*t out of living a good life.We're constantly searching for the perfect routine, relationship, career, body, home or future version of ourselves as though happiness is something we'll finally unlock once we optimize ourselves enough. Meanwhile, our actual lives are happening right in front of us.In this episode, I'm breaking down what I genuinely believe makes a good life and none of it requires a dramatic reinvention. It's about becoming a joy multiplier when someone shares good news, saying the kind thing while you have the chance, taking the call from your parents, putting your phone down and recognizing that these may already be the good old days.We're talking about:• Celebrating other people without making their happiness about you• Why unspoken praise does absolutely nothing for anybody• No longer treating ordinary connection like an inconvenience• Putting your phone down and actually experiencing your life• Teaching your brain to notice the evidence that life is good• Treating today like the good old days• Participating in your life instead of constantly watching, documenting or trying to improve itThis isn't another perfectly packaged self-help formula. It's an honest conversation about happiness, presence, relationships, social media, personal growth and the small choices that quietly create a meaningful life.Because maybe you don't need another morning routine, wellness trend or ten-step plan. Maybe you need to celebrate your friend, call your mom, say the loving thing out loud and actually be where your feet are.A good life isn't something you eventually earn. It's something you learn to notice and participate in, while it's happening.FREE resources to further support you on your self-development journey:DATE YOURSELF FIRST MASTERCLASS HERE'Your Internal Glow-Up Guide 'FREEBIE !

Builder, broadcaster and author Harrison Gardner joins the show to talk about what it means to build your own security – the kind that comes from knowing you can meet your own basic needs. Harrison shares how he left Australia at seventeen with no plan beyond learning how the world works, the years he spent building preschools in an Indian slum, and how buying a derelict 200-year-old stone cottage in the west of Ireland led him to found Build School. We talk about learned helplessness, why he stopped building other people's houses to teach them to build their own, and how impact shapes his life. This is an inspiring conversation about building your own capabilities and committing more fully to your life.Harrison Gardner is an author, broadcaster and builder based on the west coast of Ireland. He presents Build Your Own Home on RTÉ, has written three books on self-building and the housing crisis, and hosts The Tools at Hand, a podcast about people who use whatever they have to hand to build exactly what they need. It all traces back to one belief: people don't need permission or expertise to fix what's broken around them. He's also Chairperson and co-founder of Common Knowledge, a social enterprise sharing practical skills with everyone.You can learn more about Harrison's work at www.harrisongardner.netFor more from Mark McCartney:The Podcast's Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@whatisagoodlife3875⁩

We won't simply learn what Jesus said; we'll ask what his stories reveal about the life we are actually meant to live. So pull up a chair, listen to Jesus, and discover that the good life may be far better than the one we've been chasing.

For almost 90 years, Harvard has been tracking the same group of men to answer one question: what actually leads to a long, happy life? Kelly digs into the findings, which point again and again to the same surprising answer — not money, not IQ — but the quality of our closest relationships. She connects it to research on chronic pain, a study on personality change well into old age, and a simple trick for staying connected that takes less time than a coffee run. It's a conversation about what actually protects us as we age, and why the smallest gestures of connection might matter more than we think.Links:Harvard Study of Adult Development:https://www.adultdevelopmentstudy.org/Robert Waldinger's TED talk on What Makes a Good Life?

Where is home?I've lived in different countries, spent six months travelling, and often chosen to stay somewhere long enough to experience what it actually feels like to live there.I love the perspective that comes from being somewhere unfamiliar. You see different ways of living, question assumptions you didn't realise you had, and sometimes discover a different version of yourself.But it has also made me wonder:What actually makes somewhere feel like home?In this episode, I explore: Why I've always had a complicated relationship with home and restlessness Whether leaving can sometimes be a form of curiosity rather than escape What living in San Francisco taught me about feeling at home far from family The strange experience of being physically somewhere while mentally somewhere else “Home is where the heart is” — and what that might actually mean When restlessness is useful information, and when it might simply be restlessness Why presence might be part of what makes somewhere feel like home How unfamiliar places can force us to build new relationships, routines and identities Whether home is something we find or something we build How our idea of home changes as our lives and seasons changeAnd ultimately, a question:Where do you actually feel at home?Not where you live.Not where you were born.Not where you're supposed to be.But where do you feel present?Where do you feel connected?Where do you feel like you're actually inhabiting your own life?Perhaps sometimes coming home means finding your way back to a place.And perhaps sometimes it means learning how to arrive where you already are.Continue the conversationIf you've been listening to Sutterfaction for a while, I'd love to hear from you.

Sitting down once again with embodiment teacher, coach and author Mark Walsh to explore why modern self-help and wellness culture may not be addressing the deeper problems people are facing.We discuss the modern “meaning crisis”, embodiment, community, spirituality, religion, trauma, coaching and the limits of constantly trying to optimise ourselves. Mark also explains why he believes human flourishing requires more than individual wellbeing — including connection to the body, other people, nature and something beyond ourselves.A provocative conversation about what modern life is getting wrong, and what might actually help. @markwalsh“We've got all this material success and technology, but spiritually and emotionally we're a complete disaster.”MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW US@adamhusler - https://tr.ee/b8QKyF@centredstates - https://tr.ee/i1PXpTPERKS FOR YOU10% off Liforme yoga matswith code HUSLER1010% off expert validated wellbeing brand at Healfvia this link10% off Colorful Standard clothingwith code ADAMHUSLERCS1020% offVivobarefoot shoeswith code ADAMHUSLER1515% off premium activewear brand Now You Live with code HUSLER15

Contrary to the doom-and-gloom feeling that pervades America, the economy is roaring and, on average, Americans are doing very well. Moreover, when compared to prior times in America—and again, I look back at the 1950s, a time of both atomic threats and boundless optimism about the future—we're getting more bang for the buck than ever. I wouldn't say anything as facile as "don't worry; be happy," but I would say that happiness is a reasonable choice now. The only caveat is that we must fight to preserve that happiness by voting. No matter how much you dislike Trump and the weak-willed Republicans in Congress, they are still infinitely better than the Democrats.

Throughout life, all of us will face different trials, hardships and sufferings that challenge our faith in God. This Sunday, Jeremiah led us through Psalm 34, breaking down how the key to the Good life is not found in avoiding suffering and problems, but instead in our pursuit of Jesus, and belief that in the midst of the troubles, He is still good!

This episode is a MUST-listen. If you've ever felt behind, scared, stuck, or doubting yourself, you need to hit play. Today, Mel sits down with someone who has been a mentor from afar for more than 12 years. Mel says she would not be where she is today without the person sitting across from her. For more than a decade, Gary Vaynerchuk has been one of Mel's biggest inspirations - and in this conversation, he is here to challenge you to stop making excuses and start changing your life. Gary is one of the most successful entrepreneurs and creators of his generation, a six-time New York Times bestselling author, and the force behind VaynerX, VaynerMedia, and VeeFriends. If you've been sitting on an idea, watching other people do the thing you want to do, worrying about what people will think, or telling yourself you're too late, you need to hear this. Gary will challenge the way you think about fear, regret, comparison, confidence, your career, other people's opinions, and the excuses that are keeping you stuck. You'll learn why the people you listen to shape who you become, why your embarrassment can become your advantage, why peace of mind matters more than status, and why one action could change the entire direction of your life. Gary also shares his advice for anyone who wants to start a business, change careers, put themselves out there, or finally take the risk they've been thinking about for years. His message is simple: there is something you are amazing at - and the longer you sit around watching everybody else do it, the more it costs you. You'll also learn:- What your algorithm reveals about who you are- Why you need to start living your life with your funeral in mind- The 3 words that are keeping you stuck- Gary's #1 tip if you're unemployed or looking for a new job- How to stop blaming your parents for your circumstances- How to build self-confidence and let go of your need to be accepted- Why peace of mind is the secret to a rich life This conversation will push you to stop waiting for the right time, stop letting other people's opinions control your decisions, and stop living in a way that leaves you saying, “I wish I…” By the time it's over, you'll know exactly what you need to do next - and you'll feel inspired to go do it.
