Liz and Sarah are making it happen! They've been doing a deep dive into micro-dramas for several months, and now they're at the beginning stages of Executive Producing their first one. They talk about how they've gone about educating themselves in this new (to them) form of entertainment and ask listeners when they've made something happen. Then, in Take A Hike, they discuss the value of having a repertoire of everything from meals to small talk topics. They also share a recent Day In The Life — from dealing with a water outage to writing at the cafe at Godmothers to breaking a new pilot at Bob Dylan concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl. This week's Hollywood Hack is great for anyone who loves audio — the AirPods Pouch from Bandolier. Finally Sarah recommends Beyond Paradise on BritBox.

Why optimization is a joy blocker, how to find the 'yes' inside the 'no,' and why that restless ache you can't shake is actually your compass. Kate Bowler, PhD is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, award-winning podcast host, and an Associate Professor of American Religious History at Duke University. She studies the cultural stories we tell ourselves about success, suffering, and whether (or not) we're capable of change. Her newest book is Joyful, Anyway. In this episode we talk about: The dangerous difference between joy and happiness Why optimization and self-mastery are quietly killing your capacity for delight How to find the "yes" inside every "no" (even when things are genuinely terrible) The ache and restlessness you can't shake—and why it's actually your compass, not a problem to solve What grace actually looks like when control disappears How to stop trying to improve your way into joy The "assignment" that changes how you show up for other people Why survival isn't the point—living is Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Additional Resources:  Everything Happens for a Reason (and Other Lies I've Loved)  No Cure For Being Human (and Other Truths I Need to Hear) Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day!

What a fake guru discovered about genuine connection, why ancient wisdom survives even the most rigorous skepticism, and the real reason humans crave spiritual authority. Vikram Gandhi is an award-winning and boundary-pushing director of fiction and non-fiction film and television. Vikram most recently co-directed The Man Will Burn — a five-part HBO Original Documentary Series on the full arc of Burning Man, from its countercultural roots in San Francisco to the 80,000-person desert event it's become.

Anytime I get to sit across from someone who works with energy and the spiritual world at this level, I go straight for the question I most want answered: how does alcohol affect spiritual insights? Dallisa is a psychic medium, intuition teacher, and founder of Spirit and Spark, and her answer to that question gave me chills.  Her explanation is straightforward: everything vibrates at a frequency, and in order to access higher dimensions, your spirit guides, your intuition, or source energy, your own frequency needs to be elevated. Alcohol lowers it. This aligns with what I've heard from shamans and from researchers studying the neuroscience of alcohol and brain connectivity: when the different regions of your brain stop communicating, you lose access to the biggest guide you have, your own inner knowing. We go from there into how Dallisa's abilities opened almost overnight in 2015, why she believes everyone has psychic capacity and what spirit has been downloading to her about the next decade of global change, including what disruptions are coming for education, healthcare, careers, AI, and what's coming for the coasts of North America. We also get into astrology, specifically the North Node, which Dallisa describes as the northern star your soul aimed at in this lifetime, the clue to what you actually came here to do. She pulled mine live in this episode and I was immediately taking notes.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Why alcohol lowers your frequency and blocks your ability to access intuition and spiritual connection How Dallisa's psychic abilities opened overnight in 2015 through a message from a friend's recently deceased aunt Why she believes everyone has psychic ability and what you can start doing today to develop yours What spirit has been channeling about disruption in the coming decade, education, healthcare, careers, and the early 2030s The North Node in your astrological chart and why it might be the most useful thing to look at if you're questioning your purpose right now What Dallisa pulled for my North Node live in this episode   Find Dallisa at spiritandspark.com, with a free gift waiting for you there.

Hunter talks to Gretchen Rubin about How To Be Happier. Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. Make easy changes first — go for the low hanging fruit 2. How do you respond to expectations (inner and outer)? Answer this question BEFORE you try to change a new habit. 3. How to draw boundaries and when to simply stop doing something Gretchen Rubin is one of today's most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature. She's the author of many books, including the blockbuster New York Times bestsellers The Four Tendencies, Better Than Before, and The Happiness Project. How do you change bad habits and create good habits? How can you be happier every day? Author Gretchen Rubin has made a science of these subjects and shares her wisdom on this podcast. She pushes back against some commonly held beliefs like, “the middle path is always best,” and “give what you want to receive.” Gretchen will tell you why these are NOT always good ideas.

You've heard people say, "Good things come to those who wait." Most of us absorbed that lesson somewhere along the way — save the good stuff, delay the pleasure, wait until you've earned it. But my guest today says that idea backfires. My guest is Ian Bogost, a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis. His new book is The Small Stuff. Some of the things we discuss are: The three different types of contentment — and why we tend to overlook the most available one What the famous marshmallow test actually got wrong about delayed gratification Why saving the perfume, the outfit, or the "good china" for a special occasion might be backfiring The one-step trick to noticing small pleasures without having to add anything new to your routine Why gratification isn't the same as mindfulness — and why Ian has issues with how mindfulness gets sold to us How modern life has quietly stripped away small sensory pleasures (Ian calls it "dematerialization") Why you don't have to choose between being present and taking a picture — you can do both How stacking tiny moments of gratification can build a buffer that makes hard days hurt less The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for finding more small pleasures starting today Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠322 — This 60-Second Mental Strength Play Will Help You Stop Procrastinating (And It Doesn't Require Willpower)⁠ 270 — You Don't Need More Self-Discipline: 2 Strategies to Succeed Without It Links & Resources The Small Stuff Connect with the Show Buy a copy of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign Up for My Newsletter —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amymorinlcsw.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors Helix Sleep —Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠helixsleep.com/STRONGER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get 20% off sitewide   AirDoctor — Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AirDoctorPro.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and use promo code STRONGER to get UP TO $300 off today!

We spend so much time working on our mindset—but what if happiness isn't something we think our way into?In this episode of the Happier Series, I sit down with wellness coach and embodiment teacher Ariel Griglin to explore a missing piece in many personal growth journeys: the body.Together, we discuss why happiness is our birthright—but not something that happens automatically. Ariel shares how simple practices like movement, grounding, and reconnecting with our physical bodies can help us feel more present, empowered, and aligned. We also dive into the difference between healthy stress and burnout, how our bodies communicate important messages through symptoms and sensations, and why many of us have become disconnected from ourselves in the first place. Whether you're a parent, educator, caregiver, or simply someone who feels like you've been living "from the neck up," this conversation offers practical tools to help you come back home to yourself.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why mindset work alone isn't always enough• The connection between body awareness and happiness• Simple grounding practices you can use anywhere• How to tell the difference between healthy stress and overwhelm• Why movement is one of the most overlooked wellbeing tools• Ways to model body awareness and emotional health for children• How to use your body as a source of intuition and guidanceSometimes the next step forward isn't another strategy, book, or affirmation.Sometimes it's as simple as feeling your feet on the ground.

Have you ever forgotten a phone number, birthday, or why you walked into a room because you knew your phone would remember it for you? Many people joke about "digital dementia." While it isn't a real medical diagnosis, researchers are becoming increasingly concerned that our growing dependence on technology may be changing how we remember, think, and solve problems. https://www.neurocenternj.com/blog/digital-dementia-how-screens-and-digital-devices-impact-memory/ Most of us pay attention to our physical health and, increasingly, our mental health. But what about our social health? Research suggests the quality of your relationships may have a profound impact on your happiness, resilience, and even how long you live. Yet many people today have fewer close connections than ever before. Kasley Killam explains why social health matters so much and how to build stronger, more meaningful relationships. She has advised organizations including Google, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the World Economic Forum, and is author of The Art and Science of Connection: Why Our Social Health Is the Key to Living Longer, Healthier, and Happier (https://amzn.to/4cynFRi). Where do great ideas come from? Is imagination something you're born with, or can you actually develop it? According to Albert Read, imagination is more like a muscle than a mysterious gift—it grows stronger the more you understand and use it. In this conversation, he explains how creativity works, why ideas sometimes seem to appear out of nowhere, and how anyone can become more imaginative. Albert is Managing Director of Condé Nast Britain and author of The Imagination Muscle: Where Good Ideas Come From (https://amzn.to/4cw9xrw). Sending flowers to someone who is sick or recovering from surgery seems like a thoughtful gesture. But can flowers actually help someone heal? Surprisingly, research suggests they may do more than brighten a room—they may have measurable effects on mood, stress, and recovery. https://www.floweraura.com/blog/healing-power-get-well-soon-flowers-scientific-perspective PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with longtime dental industry leader Laura Nelson live from Thrive Live in Las Vegas. Laura shares her journey from running the front office in her husband's dental practice to building Front Office Rocks, becoming a trusted voice in dental team training, and now leading AI innovation with Mango Voice.  She and Mark discuss why patient experience matters just as much as clinical care, how short-form training changed front office education, and why understanding the "why" behind systems is essential for team success. Laura also breaks down how AI tools like Mango's Margo can help practices capture missed calls, improve patient communication, support overwhelmed teams, and even role-play phone skills through AI-powered coaching.

For a long time, I believed happiness was waiting for me somewhere in the future.After I lost the weight.After life slowed down.After everything finally fell into place.But over the years, I realized my life didn't become happier because I added more.It became happier because I let go of the beliefs, habits, and thought patterns that were keeping me stuck.In this episode, I'm sharing five decisions that completely changed the way I experience my life—from letting go of the need to control everything to separating responsibility from blame, releasing perfectionism, and learning that happiness isn't something you find... it's something you practice.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly waiting for life to begin, I hope this conversation encourages you to stop waiting and start living the life that's already happening around you.If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend, leave a review, and tag me on Instagram so I can hear what spoke to you most.

Grief is a strange thing to show up for publicly when you're still right in the middle of it, and honestly, parts of what I'm going through right now feel so private and so deep that I'm not even sure I have the language for it yet. But I felt called to share, because some of this might help someone. A few weeks ago I recorded an episode about losing Huxley unexpectedly on Memorial Day. If you haven't heard that one yet, go back and listen first. This episode is what's come after and what I've leaned into to heal and process my loss.  It feels like I'm in the middle of a big spiritual awakening. Something about grief this deep, when you actually let yourself feel it instead of escaping it, has a way of shaking loose everything you thought you knew about yourself. My values, my worldview, my identity, how I want to show up in this work is all up for questioning.  In this episode I'm sharing four specific things that have been genuinely helping me move through loss.   IN THIS EPISODE Why I deleted the games off my phone and started auditing where I was unconsciously checking out The 14 books I read last month and why grief sent me deep into Jungian analysis, shamanic practices, and dream interpretation What dream interpretation has opened up for me, including a dream where Huxley showed me something I needed to hear The signs Huxley keeps sending me and why I've stopped dismissing what my intuition points to The February knowing I had about Huxley's time, and what that's taught me about trusting what I feel even when my logical brain argues back Why writing, including poetry that I haven't written since high school, has been the most healing thing of all What writing my second book from a coffee shop overlooking the ocean has felt like during all of this   Thank you for the outpouring of love and messages since the last episode.

Happiness comes before success, not after it. Bestselling author Andrew Matthews explains why gratitude — not achievement — is the real foundation of a good life. Episode Overview Andrew Matthews — author of Being Happy, Follow Your Heart, and Bouncing Back, with more than eight million books sold in 48 languages — joins Brett Ingram to unpack why happiness has to be decided before success arrives, not collected after. They cover the habits that build gratitude on purpose, why self-worth quietly shapes the life you'll settle for, and the three traits that define genuinely resilient people. What You'll Discover Why happier people solve problems roughly 20% faster and, in one cited study, diagnose medical cases 30% more accurately The one-slice-of-cake cartoon that captures the entire difference between happy and unhappy people Why disliking yourself is the hidden reason people stay in jobs and relationships that hurt them The research on "following your passion" that found people don't find work they love — they build it Three deliberate habits for building gratitude: decision, focusing on needs over wants, and self-forgiveness The three traits Andrew found shared by every resilient person he's studied Why your mind can't process "I don't want" — and what to picture instead Episode Timestamps [00:00] Introduction: the power of gratitude and happiness [01:00] From law school and painting to writing Being Happy [04:00] The colleague whose happiness "shamed" Brett into rethinking his own [07:00] Happiness as foundation, not reward: debunking the success myth [09:00] The one-slice-of-cake cartoon: happy vs. unhappy people [12:00] Why liking yourself decides what life you'll accept [18:00] Enjoying your work without chasing "passion" [24:00] Three practical habits for building gratitude on purpose [29:00] Forgiving yourself — and why it changes your relationships [32:00] Bouncing Back: three traits every resilient person shares [38:00] Visualization and the picture you carry of yourself [43:00] Why your mind can't process "don't want" [46:00] Where to find Andrew's books and newsletter About Andrew Matthews Andrew Matthews is an internationally bestselling author, speaker, and cartoonist whose books — including Being Happy, Follow Your Heart, and Bouncing Back — have sold more than eight million copies in 48 languages. He has spoken to over 1,000 audiences in 30 countries and given more than 5,000 media interviews on gratitude, resilience, and attitude. Connect with Andrew: https://andrewmatthews.com | Books on Amazon FAQ Q: Does happiness come before or after success? A: Andrew Matthews argues happiness has to come first — it's not an optional extra you earn through achievement. Happier people have more energy, notice more opportunities, and solve problems faster. Success built on top of happiness lasts; happiness deferred until after success rarely shows up. Q: What's the real difference between happy and unhappy people? A: According to Matthews, happy people focus on what they have, and unhappy people focus on what's missing. He illustrates it with a cartoon of two men and a cake — one content with a single slice, one miserable despite having almost the whole thing. Q: How do you build gratitude as a habit, not just a feeling? A: Matthews recommends three practices: treat happiness as a decision rather than a reaction to circumstance, focus on what you need instead of what you want, and forgive yourself for not being perfect. He suggests keeping a photo of yourself at age three visible as a daily reminder of that grace.

In this episode, Wes tackles the psychological hurdle that many high-achievers face when they finally reach the "Retirement Green Zone." After decades of using hard work, discipline, and ambition to build a nest egg, it can be incredibly difficult to simply turn that drive off. Wes discusses the "ambition guilt" that many retirees feel when they pursue creative hobbies or passions that don't generate a paycheck. Rather than viewing this transition as "lowering" your ambition, Wes argues that the key to a happy retirement is rechanneling that legendary work ethic into areas that feed your soul instead of your bank account. Also, we're in a confusing state of the 2026 economy, where record-breaking corporate data seems at odds with the reality on the ground. While U.S. company profits soared by 26% in late 2025 and nominal GDP has grown significantly since 2019, many consumers are still feeling the weight of high prices. Wes explains how we are living in a "K-shaped" economy and breaks down what these disparities mean for your wallet and how to navigate an environment where productivity is higher than ever, but the benefits aren't being shared equally.

In this episode of What is a Good Life, host Mark McCartney sits down with Lior Steinberg, a Rotterdam-based urban planner and co-founder of Humankind, a multidisciplinary team working toward urban happiness for all. Lior is also the author of the children's book The Car That Wanted to Be a Bike. Together they unpack why so many cities remain trapped in car-centric design decades after urbanist Jane Jacobs first warned against it.They talk about the "sidewalk ballet," how children's toys teach us to want cars, the surprising parallel between car culture and cigarette smoking, Barcelona's superblocks, and why trees are the best climate technology we already have. This is a thought-provoking conversation on how often change feels impossible until it is here.For more of Lior Steinberg's work:Humankind: https://www.humankind.city/Personal Website: https://steinberg.nu/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liorsteinberg/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/ ⁨@whatisagoodlife3875⁩

In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett guides you through a powerful 10-minute mindfulness session dedicated to silencing the inner critic and regulating your nervous system.Discover how to harness the power of the extended exhale to signal safety to your body, let go of stress, and gently reset your mental state. Whether you are coping with a panic attack, daily stress, or high standards that leave you feeling overwhelmed, this session offers a gentle space to breathe, release self-criticism, and return to a place of kindness.Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Confronting the Impossibly High Bar & Your Inner Critic00:39 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin Hewlett01:34 – The Power of the Exhale: Shifting the Nervous System to Safety02:03 – Guided Deep Breathing Exercise for Stress Release03:04 – Visualizing the Color of Tension and Leaving It Behind04:37 – 5 Powerful Affirmations for Being Present07:40 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for a Happier, Imperfect Life09:08 – Bringing Awareness Back to the Present Moment09:32 – Final Insights & How to Overcome Darker Moments10:24 – Brand Sign-off: A Daily Mirror PracticeToday's AffirmationsRepeat these internally or softly on your lips to help them sink into your body:"I am doing the best I can with what I have today, and that is genuinely enough.""I release the need to be perfect.

In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful idea: most of us aren't actually chasing happiness — we're trying to feel less miserable. When happiness becomes the goal, we overthink, compare, and pressure ourselves to feel a certain way. But when we shift the focus to reducing unnecessary suffering, life becomes more manageable, grounded, and sustainable.Instead of asking “How do I feel amazing?” we ask, “What's making life heavier than it needs to be?”Key takeaways:Why pursuing happiness can increase rumination and pressureHow high emotional expectations make normal days feel like failuresThe difference between happiness (a spike) and contentment (a baseline)How reducing cognitive load lowers day-to-day miseryTurning rumination into small, actionable movementFocusing on 1–3 priorities instead of overwhelming to-do listsChoosing meaningful connection over constant self-optimizationLowering the goal from “feel great” to “feel manageable”This episode isn't about forced positivity. It's about relief, proportion, and creating a life that feels lighter — not perfect.Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.
