Podcasts about Happiness

“You don't sabotage because you're afraid to fail. You sabotage because you're afraid of how powerful you truly are.” Have you ever noticed how things finally start going well — you're in a loving relationship, making more money, feeling happier — and out of nowhere… you pull back? You overthink. You pick a fight. You overspend. You sabotage. But here's the truth: Self-sabotage is not failure — it's protection. It's not that you're broken. It's that a part of you is trying to keep you safe, even if that means holding you back from everything you've prayed for. In this soul-stirring episode, we're going deep into the real reasons why we sabotage the good in our lives — the subconscious fears, the childhood survival strategies, the nervous system that equates success with danger. It's time to stop blaming yourself. It's time to hold yourself with compassion. And most of all — to finally allow yourself to receive what you've always deserved. Tune in and learn how to stop sabotaging what you truly deserve.          Timestamps (00:02:20) – The Pattern of Self-Sabotage Why we often push away love, success, and abundance just as they begin to flow into our lives. (00:03:55) – The Hidden Roots of Sabotage Self-sabotage isn't failure — it's a subconscious survival strategy. You're not broken. You're protecting yourself. (00:06:10) – Why You Reject What You Want The subconscious mind doesn't follow your desires — it follows familiarity and emotional safety. (00:07:35) – When Success Feels Unsafe How childhood associations with love, money, or praise shape the way you receive (or reject) good things. (00:09:15) – You Can't Override Your Nervous System with a Vision Board Why affirmations and mindset shifts aren't enough without nervous system healing. (00:10:20) – Compassion is the Key to Transformation Don't shame the pattern. Name it. Ask yourself: what part of me is trying to protect me right now? (00:11:20) – The “Upper Limit” Phenomenon How feeling “too good” can trigger unconscious sabotage — and what to do when that urge hits. (00:12:15) – Make Your Body Feel Safe with Goodness Gently teach your nervous system that it's safe to receive, expand, and feel joy. (00:13:15) – Transformation Happens in Small Steps Why small daily actions create deep and lasting change without overwhelming your system. (00:14:10) – Rehearsing Receiving Use imagination and emotion to normalize success, love, and abundance in your body. (00:15:00) – Track and Celebrate Your Growth Acknowledge each moment you respond differently. This builds self-trust and integration. (00:15:55) – You're Not Afraid of Failure — You're Afraid of Your Power We sabotage not because we're weak, but because struggle feels safer than the unknown. (00:16:50) – Your Soul Thrives in the Unknown True healing is remembering: you are already love, already worthy, already enough. (00:17:50) – Final Reflection and Invitation Some Questions I Ask: Why do I sabotage myself when things start going well? Why do I pull away just when I'm finally being loved the way I always wanted? Why, when I start earning more money, do I do something that ruins my finances? Why do I reject what I say I want? If love is present… why do I feel unsafe? What makes success or stability feel like a threat? What part of me is trying to protect me right now? Am I truly in danger… or am I just unfamiliar with feeling this good? In This Episode, You Will Learn  How to recognize the hidden patterns of self-sabotage.  Why your sabotage isn't a weakness — but a form of self-protection. The connection between your nervous system and your capacity to receive love, success, and abundance. How past experiences shaped what feels “safe” — even when it hurts. Why your subconscious doesn't follow your desires, but your emotional history. How to stop judging yourself and start healing with compassion. Simple daily practices to gently rewire your inner response to good things. How to feel safe in love, in wealth, and in your own power.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3In the final episode of our Financial Ethics series, we're tackling a message that promises health and wealth—but often leads to heartache: the prosperity gospel. Dr. David W. Jones joins us to unpack its dangers and point us back to a truly biblical view of blessing and provision.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the co-author of Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge.Faith Is Not a TransactionOne of the most dangerous ideas in the prosperity gospel is that faith guarantees financial prosperity. It treats faith like a force—a tool believers can wield to compel God's blessings.But biblical faith isn't self-generated or transactional. It is a gift from God, a response to His revealed grace, and a means by which we trust Him, not a lever to gain wealth. Faith is “the eyesight of the soul”—deeply rational and rooted in the truth of who God is, not in wishful thinking or material expectations.Prosperity theology often preaches a “faith formula”: believe hard enough, and you'll be rewarded. But this distorts faith into a mechanism for personal gain. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It's not irrational optimism—it's a reasoned trust in the unseen promises of God.We should view faith not as a way to escape hardship or secure abundance but as a path of trusting God in all things, including suffering.The Problem with Escaping SufferingOne hallmark of the prosperity gospel is its aversion to suffering. But as Jones points out, suffering is part of living in a fallen world—and it's not something Scripture tells us to avoid at all costs. In fact, passages like 1 Peter 4:12 and 2 Timothy 3:12 remind us that suffering is to be expected for faithful followers of Christ.Rather than hinder our faith, suffering refines it. Suffering is the crucible of character. It's often through trials that we grow closest to Christ and are shaped into His likeness.God's Provision Comes Through WorkAnother distortion in prosperity teaching is the expectation of windfalls—blessings that come without effort. But God's design for provision is through work. From the beginning, humans were created to labor and create, reflecting the image of God.Working, creating, and flourishing through effort honors our design and brings fulfillment. Attempts to bypass God's design through get-rich-quick schemes ultimately violate our dignity and God's intended path for flourishing.Prosperity preachers often misuse Scripture to back their claims. One example is 2 Corinthians 8:9: “That though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”Taken out of context, it may sound like a promise of material wealth. But in its context, Paul is referring to our spiritual poverty and Christ's sacrifice to make us spiritually rich—context matters. Misreading Scripture to fit a materialistic theology distorts the gospel's central message.Giving as Grace, Not GreedProsperity theology often frames giving as a transaction: sow a seed to receive a harvest. But biblical generosity isn't about personal return—it's about grace.True giving flows from love for God and neighbor. We give not to get, but because we've already received so much. Our stewardship reflects our gratitude, not our greed. The heart of biblical giving is a response to God's grace, not a strategy for personal gain.Make your life about Christ, not your increase, not your own prosperity, but about flourishing in the image of His Son.That's the true antidote to the prosperity gospel. We aren't promised wealth, ease, or success. But we are promised Christ—and in Him, we find every blessing that matters.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 64 and planning to retire within the next year. I have approximately $10,000 that I won't need for income, and I'm seeking guidance on how to invest it wisely. I'm especially interested in options that align with biblical values and reflect my faith in the companies I support.My wife and I are approaching retirement. We're financially secure, and our home is fully paid off. One concern I have is not having long-term care insurance. I'm considering either a reverse mortgage or a home equity loan to cover potential long-term care expenses, but I'd like to understand the pros and cons of each option before moving forward.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. David W.

What if we're going about happiness and longevity all wrong? In our latest episode, Dr. Greg Kelly is joined by Dr. Robert J. Waldinger, a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, Zen priest, and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. Our conversation centers around one of the world's longest studies of adult life, spanning over 80 years. Over the years, researchers studied the participants' health trajectories and their broader lives, including their achievements and failures in careers and marriage, and the findings produced startling life lessons. Teaser: people's level of satisfaction with their relationships at age 50 was a better predictor of physical health than their cholesterol levels were.

In this episode, Dr. Tanmeet Sethi and I delve deep into the often misunderstood distinctions between joy and happiness. Dr. Sethi shares her profound insights on how joy, unlike happiness, is a birthright that resides within our bodies and can be accessed through mindful practices and connection to our physical selves. During our conversation, Dr. Sethi eloquently explains the importance of feeling pain instead of avoiding it and how this process can lead to a more profound, sustainable joy. If you've ever felt disconnected from happiness or struggled with trauma, this episode offers enlightening perspectives and practical advice on reclaiming joy. Join us as we explore these transformative concepts and learn why joy is truly worth fighting for every day.

Brianna Wiest: The Mountain Is You – Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-MasteryWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aYtwBjATvPAIn Episode 277, Mike and Mark delve into Brianna Wiest's transformational book, The Mountain Is You, a guide to understanding and overcoming self-sabotage. Through carefully selected clips and insightful commentary, the hosts unpack how emotional resistance and limiting beliefs become the internal mountains we must climb.Episode Highlights:Don't Suffocate Yourself – Brianna explains how we often build the obstacles that hold us back.How to Overcome Self-Sabotage – Productivity Game breaks down the psychological mechanisms of self-sabotage and how to move forward.You Will Never Believe It – Brianna emphasizes the pain of growth and why it's a necessary part of change.You're at a Crossroad – In a robust conversation with Bianca, Brianna explores the moment we must choose between our old life and the new one waiting for us.Key Concepts:Self-sabotage is not a sign of weakness; it is a signal that healing and self-awareness are necessary.The “mountain” is the emotional resistance and limiting beliefs we carry.Growth demands sacrifice—letting go of outdated versions of ourselves.A fundamental transformation requires emotional clarity and the courage to confront internal conflict.Read the Book: https://geni.us/jHSjRAWatch the Episode: https://youtu.be/aYtwBjATvPABecome a Moonshots Member: https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots Thanks to our monthly supporters Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Triman Kaur Ryan N.

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.

Meanwhile, Keith reveals his triumph over an educational system that failed him, and how obtaining his GED represented not just academic achievement but personal vindication.The conversation expands to explore other significant milestones—from military service to homeownership after years in trailer parks—while acknowledging a friend's one-year sobriety anniversary. Throughout, the hosts emphasize that milestones differ for everyone, with each person's journey uniquely their own.What emerges is a powerful reminder that whether big or small, every achievement deserves recognition. As the hosts put it, "Be proud of what you did in life, man, even the smallest things matter." In a world often focused on comparing ourselves to others, this episode invites you to celebrate your own path and the obstacles you've overcome.What milestone are you working toward?

In this episode, join us as we delve into the fascinating journey of Leslie Grace, a registered nurse, vibrant journey alchemist, soul mentor, and co-author of a Wall Street Journal Bestseller. Leslie's story is one of profound transformation, spiritual exploration, and embracing life's mysteries.  Leslie Grace shares her background, growing up in a conservative Catholic environment in the Midwest. Despite leaving the church in her teen years, she always sensed a deeper connection to the universe and embarked on a journey of self-discovery.  During her college years, Leslie studied biopsychology and cognitive science, delving into the nature of the mind and consciousness. She also explored Buddhism and Eastern thought, sparking her curiosity about the essence of consciousness.  Leslie began experimenting with psychedelics, leading to eye-opening experiences that hinted at a deeper reality. These encounters stirred her interest in meditation and spiritual seeking, propelling her into a voracious quest for understanding.  Leslie defines successful seekers as individuals who have achieved significant success in their lives but still feel an inner yearning for something more. These seekers are driven by a desire for wholeness, connection, and a vibrant existence beyond material accomplishments. The conversation shifts to the misconception of success and the pursuit of happiness. Leslie highlights the common belief that financial security solves all problems, but emphasizes the importance of emotional well-being, self-actualization, and self-transcendence.  Leslie shares her profound spiritual experiences, including encounters with plant medicine, which allowed her to perceive the sacredness in all things. She emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and the importance of embracing the divine within and around us. Leslie emphasizes the importance of continual self-discovery and acceptance of all aspects of oneself, fostering compassion and self-love.  Drawing from her background in end-of-life care, Leslie reflects on her role in providing spiritual support to patients and their families. She shares heartwarming stories of individuals embracing death with grace and surrender, illuminating the beauty in the transition.  Leslie's journey serves as an inspiring testament to the transformative power of embracing life's mysteries. Her insights challenge conventional notions of success and invite listeners to embark on their own inner explorations, fostering a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.  Join us in this episode as we explore the transformative journey of Leslie Grace, celebrating the endless possibilities that unfold when we embrace the mysteries of life.  Key Takeaways:    Introduction Meet Leslie Grace: RN, soul mentor, and transformation leader[00:56]    Breaking Free and Spiritual Seekers [02:30]    Understanding Successful Seekers [04:50]    Chasing Success and The Never-Ending Journey [06:40]    Motivation and Limiting Beliefs [10:05]    Reconnecting with the Divine [12:12]    Intimacy with the Universe [14:28]    Living the Journey [15:18]    Overcoming Fear of Death [16:18]    End-of-Life Care Experience [21:26]    Death as a Transition [27:12]    Psychedelic Insights and Fearlessness [30:07]    Upcoming Vision Quest [34:22]    Burning Man Initiation [34:47]    Conclusion and Contact Information [35:14]    QUOTES:  “Finding a wholeness and a sense of presence and like all-encompassing compassion that's larger than whatever our fears and traumas have been that lets us include those as part of what makes us human and whole”. - Leslie Grace [17:50:09]  “I am ready to step into my responsibility as a creator here in the world and to create community, create culture, and just seeing that there's more for me to step into, more power, more sovereignty”. - Leslie Grace [31:12:014]  About Leslie Grace:  Meet Leslie Grace, RN, a dynamic journey alchemist, soul mentor, and co-author of a Wall Street Journal Bestseller, leading a transformative movement for visionary leaders and entrepreneurs.   She empowers individuals to confront their inner demons and unlock their full potential as heart-centered creators of a brilliant collective future. Leslie's method combines the power of psychedelic healing, Hakomi Somatic Therapy, and conscious sexuality practices, all grounded in her deepening practice of Vajrayana Buddhism.  Leslie is no stranger to shattering limiting beliefs, having broken free from her conservative Catholic upbringing and a former career in end-of-life care. Her path led her to an extraordinary and enlightening journey with plant medicine, with over 15 years of deliberate exploration. She relies on her intuition as her guiding light, establishing herself as a genuine authority in her field.

In this podcast episode, Michelle Frechette interviews Natalie MacLee and Nathan Tyler, co-founders of NSquared. They discuss their journey from developing popular WordPress plugins to launching SaaS products like Aaardvark, an accessibility platform, and Blink Metrics, a data management tool for small businesses. The conversation covers the challenges of fragmented business data, the importance of web accessibility, and the differences between WordPress plugins and SaaS solutions, highlighting N Squared's commitment to innovation and supporting both the WordPress community and broader digital needs.Top Takeaways:From WordPress Roots to SaaS Expansion: Natalie MacLees and Nathan Tyler started with successful WordPress plugins like Simply Schedule Appointments and Draw Attention. Realizing some challenges couldn't be solved within WordPress alone, they expanded into SaaS to build scalable tools that work both inside and outside the WordPress ecosystem.Introducing Aaardvark and Blink Metrics: Their new tools—Aaardvark and Blink Metrics—tackle accessibility and data overwhelm. Aaardvark offers automated and manual accessibility testing, with WordPress integration. Blink Metrics pulls data from multiple sources into a centralized, easy-to-read dashboard for small businesses, simplifying decision-making.Prioritizing Accessibility and Innovation:Accessibility is a major focus. Aaardvark is developing an AI tool to check color contrast in complex designs and supports multilingual websites. They're also launching Aaardvark Circle, a community to help professionals improve accessibility in their work.The Marketing Challenge of SaaS vs. WordPress: Marketing SaaS is harder than WordPress plugins, which get exposure through WordPress.org. SaaS tools require outreach and education to build awareness. Natalie and Nathan are leaning into this challenge to grow beyond the WordPress bubble.Coexistence of Platforms and a Broader Mission: Though they're expanding into SaaS, Natalie and Nathan still actively support their WordPress products. They believe in building tools that work across platforms, aiming to improve accessibility and usability for the entire web—not just WordPress users.Mentioned In The Show:N SquaredDraw AttentionSimply Schedule AppointmentsCalendlyAAArdvarkBlink MetricsSimple Client Dashboard

What if burnout isn't a breaking point, but an invitation to slow down, tune in, and hear the intuition you have been trying to say all along?Summary: When we're deep in burnout, even the simplest decisions can feel overwhelming. This episode of The Science of Happiness explores the difference between urgency and intuition, and what it takes to rebuild trust in your inner knowing. It's a conversation about slowing down, listening inward, and finding clarity on the other side of exhaustion.How To Do This Practice:  Pause the noise: Set aside 5–10 minutes without screens, music, or conversation. Let yourself settle into stillness, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Feel your body: Bring your attention inward. Notice physical sensations—tightness in your chest, a flutter in your gut, warmth in your hands—without trying to change them. Breathe and soften: Take a few slow, gentle breaths. With each exhale, invite your body to soften and release any tension. Ask a simple question: Bring to mind something you're unsure about. Ask yourself softly, “What do I really know about this?” or “What feels true right now?” Notice what arises: Pay attention to the first felt sense—not the loudest thought, but the quiet feeling underneath. It might show up as a word, image, emotion, or subtle pull in the body. Close with trust: You don't need a final answer. Just acknowledge what you noticed, thank yourself for listening, and carry that quiet knowing with you as you move forward.

Content Warning: This video contains discussions of loss, trauma, and near-death experiences. While it touches on heartbreaking events, it ultimately offers a powerful message of healing, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. Recorded live at Tony and Sage Robbins' 2024 Platinum Partners Happiness event, this raw and deeply emotional conversation features best-selling author Jeffrey Olsen (Knowing, Where Are You?). Jeff shares a journey few could imagine — after a devastating car crash that claimed the lives of his wife and youngest son and left him critically injured, he was plunged into unimaginable grief.

“When you heal yourself, it is a spiritual experience.” What if healing isn't something outside of you, but a remembering of what's already within? In today's episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Donna Eden, world-renowned teacher, energy medicine pioneer, and living example of what's possible when we trust the body's wisdom. At 16, Donna was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. By her twenties, doctors told her to “get her affairs in order.” But instead of giving up, she turned inward and activated a healing intelligence that transformed her life forever. In this conversation, we explore what true healing means, from chronic illness to emotional trauma, from heartbreak to soul fatigue. Donna shares simple yet powerful energy techniques you can use right now to awaken vitality, move through pain, and reconnect with your joy. We talk about trauma, aging, intuition, seeing energy, and the sacred design of the human body, and why your energy field holds the blueprint for your transformation. Tune in and learn how to regulate your nervous system, release trauma, protect your energy without building walls, and why so many of us feel disconnected.

In this episode, I'm diving into something deeply personal and incredibly important: the ways women have been left behind in conversations around health, autonomy, and identity. The traditional medical world has systematically excluded women—not just in research, but in how care is delivered, diagnosed, and dismissed. It's frustrating, it's heartbreaking, and it's time we talked about it. I'm breaking down the growing movements that are trying to fill in the gaps: what they get right, where they fall short, and why they matter. We're going to take a close look at the MAHA movement, which centers on reclaiming holistic health and empowering women to take their well-being into their own hands.  I'm also going to unpack the rise of the “Trad Wife” movement, where some women are embracing ultra-traditional gender roles. What's behind this shift? Why are more and more women turning away from modern ideals, and what does that say about the support systems we have (or don't have) in place?  Importantly, I'm asking the big question: where do we go from here? Whether these ideas feel empowering, concerning, or confusing to you, this conversation is about understanding the why behind the movements—and imagining a future where women feel fully seen, heard, and supported.
