Podcasts about Happiness

After the death of a child, the idea of joy can feel unreachable, or inappropriate. In this tender episode, we explore a deeper understanding of joy that does not cancel grief or require happiness. Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness depends on circumstances, but joy is a quiet, steady work of God within us. It is something that can exist even while sorrow still weighs heavily on the soul. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, this episode offers hope to grieving parents who wonder if joy can ever return, and reassurance that joy may look different now, and that's okay. This conversation offers hope for grieving parents who are asking hard questions, holding onto faith, and wondering what healing might look like now. If you are searching for hope after loss and reassurance that joy may return, even if it looks a bit different, this episode meets you where you are. Links Mentioned in this episode: This episode includes a session from the Rebuilding Your Life After Child Loss online workshops, created specifically for grieving parents navigating life after child loss. The workshops are based on the award-winning book When Tragedy Strikes.

What if I told you that 95% of the reason you feel tired, anxious, or 'behind' in life has nothing to do with your willpower, and everything to do with a few 'invisible' habits you're likely overlooking.

Have you been feeling ready to start a new chapter in life, but also unsure how to begin? Not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside you knows it's time for more. In this classic episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, I'm joined by my colleague Dr. Lisa Severy to talk about how rewriting your story can open the door to real, lasting change—in your career, your relationships, and the way you see yourself. Dr. Lisa specializes in narrative career counseling, a powerful approach that helps people understand the deeper life themes shaping their choices. We talk about why traditional career advice often misses the mark, how work and identity are deeply connected, and what it really takes to move forward when you feel stuck, restless, or quietly dissatisfied—even if your life looks “fine” from the outside. This conversation is for you if you're sensing that a new beginning is calling, but you don't want to jump into another situation that looks different yet feels the same. Together, we explore how insight comes before action, why patterns tend to repeat when the internal story doesn't change, and how giving yourself permission to rewrite old narratives can be one of the most meaningful decisions you ever make. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 How to start a new chapter in life by rewriting your story 02:27 Meet Dr. Lisa Severy and the narrative approach to career change 06:18 Why traditional career counseling doesn't work for real life change 11:14 Life themes, meaning, and choosing work that fits who you are 19:30 The emotional cost of staying comfortable but unfulfilled at work 23:30 What to do when you feel stuck and overwhelmed by options 29:24 Giving yourself permission to change and release old “shoulds” 35:27 The Great Resignation and reclaiming agency in your career 41:57 Why career patterns repeat when the internal story doesn't change 47:54 A powerful exercise to clarify what's missing in your next chapter 52:58 Final reflections and how to get support for your next chapter I want you to know that you don't have to figure your next chapter out on your own. One of the ways I support people at this point is by inviting them to schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my Growing Self team. It's a private, secure space where you can talk honestly about what's been feeling stuck, what's been weighing on you, and what you hope might feel different going forward. You'll answer just three quick questions, and we'll help match you with the right counselor or coach for where you are right now. I hope you'll see this as a small but meaningful gift to yourself as you begin shaping what comes next. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

If you've been feeling the pressure—burnout for you, overwhelm for your teen, and a constant sense that everyone is behind—this conversation with Dr. Greg Hammer (Stanford physician, mindfulness teacher, and author) is a deep exhale. Ginny Yurich and Dr. Hammer talk about why teens are carrying stress we never had (smartphones, comparison, eco-anxiety, school fears), and why his simple GAIN practice—Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment—isn't “floofy,” it's a practical way to rewire the brain toward steadiness and joy. You'll hear why gratitude is the foundation of happiness, how “small bites” change family culture, and why nature itself can bring us back to the present where happiness actually lives.

This second Best Of She Slays 2025 episode brings together some of the most impactful conversations of the year around business growth and leadership—the kind that challenges you to think bigger, lead better, and evolve beyond the role you originally built your practice around. Growth isn't just about adding patients, revenue, or offers. It's about learning how to make harder decisions, step into leadership with confidence, and build a business that doesn't rely on you doing everything yourself.In this episode, you'll hear curated segments on the future of solo practice and the rise of group models, how to lead effective and ethical sales conversations, why bravery and optimism are trainable leadership skills, how to use AI to scale your impact without losing your voice, and how to identify the real source of burnout before it derails your career. Together, these conversations reinforce one essential truth: sustainable growth requires leadership that supports both the business and the human running it—and without that foundation, success eventually becomes unsustainable.Want to listen to the full version of one of the featured episodes?

Throughout the Bible, our relationship with God is pictured as a journey. As we head into a new year, it's vital to know what destination we're heading toward and what will keep us moving.

The Science Behind Happiness And Human EmotionWhat does happiness really look like – and why do we feel the way we do? Scientists still debate what emotions are, how many exist, and whether they're hardwired or shaped by experience. This segment explores how emotions guide our daily lives, and whether learning to understand them can change how we respond to the world.Host: Elizabeth WestfieldProducer: Kristen FarrahGuests: Andrew Ortony, Professor Emeritus of psychology, education, and computer science, Northwestern University, author, The Cognitive Structure of Emotions; Nadine Levitt, founder, WURRLYedu, author, My Mama Says  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

George Noory and psychotherapist Dr. Donna Marks discuss ways to improve your life, what is the best mindset for a positive life, and the importance of improving communication to deal with personal problems.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this powerful conversation, former CBS news anchor and positive psychology researcher Michelle Gielan unpacks how we can rewire our communication habits to shape more resilient, empowered, and optimistic lives — both personally and collectively. Drawing on research from her book *Broadcasting Happiness*, Gielan shows how small shifts in the way we speak, frame problems, and open conversations have a measurable impact on our mindset, productivity, and relationships.She explores the science behind “power leads,” fueling facts, and positive priming — including how a single sentence can increase workplace performance, family resilience, and mental well-being. Gielan also breaks down the dangers of passive news consumption, the psychology of negativity bias, and how to apply fact-checking to rewrite the personal stories that keep us stuck in stress or fear.From practical strategies for dealing with pessimism and toxic people to the data-driven case for gratitude and solution-oriented media, this episode offers a toolkit for becoming a more intentional broadcaster of hope — at work, at home, and in your own mind.

Rooted in Taoist wisdom, this gentle practice helps parents and caregivers guide without gripping, protect without overprotecting, and respond with calm awareness rather than emotional reaction.Through breath, visualisation, Inner Child compassion, and affirmations, you'll reconnect with your authenticity, trust your child's inner wisdom, and learn to parent from alignment instead of perfection. This meditation supports emotional regulation, resilience, and a deeper sense of ease for both parent and child.⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MEDITATION WHILE DRIVING OR OPERATING MACHINERYThis meditation can be practised daily or whenever you need it. Learn more about our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other teachings and guided meditations you may enjoy: The Tao of Parenting - Raising Resilient Children with Trust and Balance https://youtu.be/uJ37rsYFr1E?si=nBFqdPQjshuJL-wGGUIDED MEDITATION PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIA12P7BftG6a18lIWFDjL35&si=bWWub6YyoZpXhFubINNER CHILD PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qq&si=7TkslLfvthRWePOIIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

This is the beginning of a new series—Happiness and Unhappiness- Finding Jesus in the 50/50.Life is both. We often think happiness means the absence of unhappiness, but what if they're two separate tracks we walk at the same time? In this episode, we'll talk about how joy and sorrow can coexist, why unhappiness isn't a sign that something's gone wrong, and how learning to hold both can lead to a deeper kind of peace.Free Resource:Download the Heart Scan Framework—a simple reference sheet outlining the four movements I use when coaching women through stuck or unclear moments.

#471 The Secret Ingredient to Living Your Best Life Including Hypnosis What if the reason things haven't quite stuck yet isn't what you want… but why you want it? In this longer, deeper episode of Personal Development Unplugged, I take you beyond goal-setting, beyond wishy-washy intentions, and right into the one missing ingredient that makes real, lasting change inevitable. This episode includes a guided hypnosis / deep visualisation process designed to help you connect emotionally and unconsciously with the version of you who is already living their best life — and to install the inner resource that makes it all possible. We explore why New Year's resolutions fail, why motivation fizzles out, and how your unconscious mind can be guided to work for you instead of against you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "who do you want to be?" isn't enough without a powerful why The secret ingredient that turns desire into action How your unconscious mind learns just as powerfully from imagination as reality Why visualising your future self isn't fantasy — it's training A practical demonstration showing how imagination rewires behaviour A deep hypnosis process to connect with your future self and install commitment How to access the will to do whatever it takes Why alignment with your values creates effortless momentum How living your best life benefits you, others, and the world around you

Learn how the stories we tell and hear shape our relationships, values, and sense of belonging.Summary: Storytelling is more than entertainment. It shapes how we think, feel, and relate to others. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we dive into how immersive narratives calm stress, inspire reflection, and foster compassion across differences. We also explore how stories of resilience, joy, and tradition leave lasting impressions that influence our relationships and sense of self.How To Do This Practice: Choose a meaningful story: Bring to mind a personal memory, family tradition, or moment that carries emotion, care, or learning. Settle the body first: Take a few slow breaths and notice your posture, helping your nervous system feel steady and present. Recall sensory details: Gently remember what you saw, heard, smelled, or felt in the moment, letting the story come alive without forcing it. Notice what matters: As the story unfolds, pay attention to themes of connection, care, resilience, or joy that stand out to you. Reflect on its meaning: Ask yourself what this story has shaped in you—how it influences your values, relationships, or sense of belonging. Share or carry it forward: If it feels right, share the story with someone you trust, write it down, or hold it quietly as a reminder of connection and continuity.

Is anger, regret or sadness still tying you to your past? In this episode, you'll learn how finding forgiveness helps you heal unhealthy emotions, create closure, and move on. You'll learn about the two types of forgiveness and how to shift your mindset so you can finally feel happier, freer, and more like yourself again. If happiness and well-being feel out of reach right now, I hope you dive into this one. Forgiveness often sounds simple, but it can feel deeply challenging when anger, regret, or unresolved pain linger. I'm revisiting this episode because these unhealthy feelings tend to hold on quietly, shaping how we feel long after the moment has passed. In this conversation, I talk about what forgiveness really is and what it is not, and how finding forgiveness can support healing and closure without excusing harm or abandoning your boundaries. We explore the difference between forgiving yourself and forgiving someone else, especially when there has been no apology, no repair, or no justice. You'll hear how to work with difficult emotions like sadness and resentment, how to move on when the other person may never change, and how forgiveness can support your growth, well-being, and peace of mind. If part of you feels like you should be over it by now, but something still feels unfinished, this episode offers a more compassionate way forward. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or minimizing what happened. It's about releasing what no longer serves you so you can heal and feel happier in your life today. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Finding Forgiveness and Emotional Healing 03:25 The Two Types of Forgiveness: Yourself and Others 05:52 How Anger, Regret, and Guilt Impact Happiness 07:56 Self-Forgiveness Through Compassion and Growth 15:00 Making Amends and Repairing Harm 21:59 How to Forgive Someone Who Isn't Sorry 24:19 Letting Go Without Excusing Harm 28:56 Forgiveness, Boundaries, and Emotional Safety 31:19 Choosing Forgiveness to Move On and Feel at Peace If this conversation about finding forgiveness stirred something tender for you, I want you to know you don't have to work through it alone. I'd love for you to schedule a free consultation with me or someone on my team at Growing Self. It's a private, secure space to share what you've been carrying and get matched with the right counselor or coach for where you are right now. You'll answer three quick questions, and we'll help you take a thoughtful next step toward healing and clarity. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

What actually shapes life in retirement—your finances, your relationships, or both? In this episode of the Retire Sooner Podcast, Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase walk through new research on happiness in retirement and unpack several financial and economic topics that often come up in retirement planning conversations. • Share findings from a 2025 Money and Happiness in America study that looks at how social connection is commonly linked to reported retirement satisfaction. • Talk through research showing how the number of close personal relationships is often discussed when measuring happiness among retirees. • Reflect on how American friendships have changed over time and why staying socially connected is frequently part of retirement lifestyle discussions. • Put into context recent government jobs reports by explaining what unemployment and labor-market numbers generally indicate. • Walk through estate-planning considerations around life insurance, guardians, and trustees that many families review over time. • Cover the core factors people often look at when evaluating bond funds, including yield, duration, expenses, and benchmarks. • Discuss how Roth IRAs, traditional IRAs, brokerage accounts, and HELOCs are commonly weighed when addressing short-term cash needs during real-estate transitions. • Answer listener questions about Roth IRA contributions, in-plan conversions, account-funding priorities, and retirement-plan considerations when changing jobs. The episode keeps the focus on education, context, and real-world questions retirees and pre-retirees are already asking.

Welcome to Paranormal Spectrum, where we illuminate the enigmatic corners of the supernatural world. I'm your host, Barnaby Jones, and today we have a very special guest joining us:Angela Zabel is an intuitive guide, medium, and spiritual teacher who has communicated with other forms of consciousness since childhood. What began as a young girl's ability to see those who had passed evolved into a deep, lifelong practice of receiving guidance and comfort from the spiritual realm. Through her own experiences connecting with departed family members, Angela realized that these gifts were meant to be shared, helping others bridge the gap between our physical world and the spirit side.Throughout her career, Angela has transitioned from individual readings and public expos to a broader mission of spiritual education. Her work is rooted in the belief that personal and spiritual growth are intricately linked. She teaches that by understanding our own nature as spirits, we can unlock untapped strength and create lives of genuine joy. Rather than following rigid religious or metaphysical rules, Angela encourages her students to embrace their own unique path and energy.Today, Angela shares her insights through a variety of platforms, including in-person and online classes, retreats, and webinars. She views the multi-dimensional plane of existence as a resource available to everyone and seeks to help others recognize the divinity within themselves. While she believes our connection to the divine is personal and requires no intermediary, Angela considers it her greatest honor to serve as a guide who helps light the way for others on their journey of discovery.Angela's Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/angelazabelllc/Angela's Websitehttps://www.angelazabel.com/Angela's Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@angelazabelteachercoachmed7488/featuredAngela's Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@angelazabel?lang=enClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

Denmark has been ranked among the 'happiest' countries in the world for more than a decade. Some experts suggest this is due to a focus on learning compassion, empathy and human connection at an early age, which supports positive inter-personal relations and conflict resolution in adulthood. - Da oltre un decennio la Danimarca è classificata tra i Paesi più “felici” al mondo. Alcuni esperti ritengono che ciò sia dovuto all'importanza attribuita all'apprendimento della compassione, dell'empatia e delle relazioni umane sin dalla tenera età, che favorisce relazioni interpersonali positive e la risoluzione dei conflitti in età adulta.

Today's episode is different. I'm not giving you the same BS weight loss advice you've heard over and over again. We're getting into the messy, nuanced questions that actually come up when you're trying to lose weight in a way that's healthy, shame free, and supportive of feeling the way you want to feel.  We're talking about plateaus that seem to happen for no reason, cravings that feel out of control, hormones that complicate everything, workouts that backfire, and how to pursue weight loss without destroying your relationship with food—or yourself. And we're doing it with someone I trust deeply to hold all of that complexity: functional registered dietitian and certified personal trainer Nicki Parlitsis, who has helped thousands of people lose weight in ways that actually last. She's actually my personal RD and she's helped me lose 30 pounds in a sustainable way over the course of a year, after I got some test results that served as a wake up call in my own life.  Today's episode is going to help you create a body that feels amazing to live in. If you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or secretly ashamed for struggling with something that everyone online makes look easy—this episode is for you. 

Part Two of the Best Of 2025 series brings together some of the most impactful leadership, mindset, and business insights shared on The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast this year. This curated collection highlights defining moments from seasoned executives, founders, and operators who have navigated growth, failure, succession, identity shifts, and reinvention at every stage of their careers.Across these clips, listeners hear honest reflections on making unpopular but necessary decisions, balancing intensity with elegance in leadership, evolving career horizons, and knowing when to step forward—or step aside. The episode explores entrepreneurial thinking inside both startups and large organizations, the power of conviction over persuasion, and why great leadership is rooted in process, accountability, and self-awareness rather than blame.This Best Of episode also dives into legacy thinking: building multi-generational companies, transitioning leadership roles, redefining success beyond ego, and discovering fulfillment through contribution rather than achievement alone. From mindset and marketing to succession planning and service-driven purpose, Part Two captures the wisdom that emerges only through lived experience.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:34 - Introduction2:53- France Margaret Bélanger05:13 - Ron Tite06:50 - Jason Castellan09:54 - Karl Tabbakh13:15 - Jeni Hott16:26 - Swish Goswami17:55 - Mark Bradley19:36 - Jim Ritter21:51 - Irfan Rajabali24:43 - Rod Khleif27:18 - Vaneli Martinov31:50 - Scott ClaryKEY TAKEAWAYS:*Conviction gives leaders the courage to act when approval is uncertain.*Strong leaders balance intensity with elegance, standards with emotional control.*Career growth should widen future opportunities, not narrow them.*Identity and ego can quietly sabotage fulfillment if left unchecked.*Sustainable success requires planning for succession long before it feels necessary.*Authority and clarity outperform persuasion and desperation in marketing and leadership.*Happiness comes from progress, contribution, and growth—not from hitting a single goal.NOTABLE QUOTES:“You should never achieve a big goal without having other goals lined up behind it” - Rod Khleif“What gives you the courage to make those tough decisions … you have the conviction that it's the right decision ultimately” - France Margaret Bélanger “I see a problem, I think deeply about it, and I come up with a solution, and act on it” - Swish Goswami“When I'm no longer being challenged as a leader, this is where I think ok, what should I be doing next?” - Karl Tabbakh“I've got a solution that works and I know it's here for them.

Little-Known '3.6 Rule' for a Happy Retirement & Is the Job Market Good or Bad? Wes Moss dives into the critical connection between social capital and financial security, revealing a surprising "magic number" from his 2025 Money and Happiness in America Study. While most people focus strictly on their 401(k), the data shows that intentionality in your social life is just as vital as intentionality in your investments. Also, Wes breaks down the latest labor data to determine if the "Goldilocks" era of employment is here to stay. With the unemployment rate ticking up to 4.6%, Wes looks past the headlines to analyze the Employment-Population Ratio, which remains strong. Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take. All this and more on the December 30, 2025, Ask an Advisor episode of the Clark Howard podcast.

Have you ever looked at people who seem to have figured it out? They're in their sixties, seventies, or eighties, and they're healthy. They're happy. They're in great relationships. And you think, "what do they know that I don't?"  Guess what? We don't have to wonder anymore. The Harvard Study of Adult Development is the longest longitudinal study ever done on physical and emotional well-being. Over 80 years, researchers tracked people across their entire lives to answer one question: what actually makes life feel good? The results were surprising: The quality of your relationships is the number one predictor of your mental health, your physical health, and your overall life satisfaction. It isn't money, success, fame, productivity, or hustling harder. It's not achieving some perfect version of yourself. On today's episode, I'm sharing some objective ways you can make your life happier and healthier, according to 80 years of research. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/795
