Podcasts about Happy Life

Happiness might be the most expensive word in the English language. We chase it, buy things in its name, and rearrange our lives trying to get closer to it. In this episode, I sit down with Erin Port, author of Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life, and we talk about why the big overhaul never works, why happiness guideposts are key, and where to start when you're so depleted you're not even sure what makes you happy anymore.

Pastor Chas Stevenson

Life gets hard. Plans fall apart. People disappoint us. Stress builds. We all face moments where we wonder, "What do I do now?"

In this throwback episode, we're determined to be happy. Psychologist Shige Oishi joined us to explore the three dimensions of a fulfilling life: happiness, meaning, and psychological richness. He shared insights from decades of research into subjective well-being and revealed how personality traits, life experiences, and cultural contexts shape what we consider a “good life.” From challenging the “happiness trap” to embracing life's rich diversity, this conversation is a roadmap for deeper self-reflection and greater fulfillment.

Episode 2997: Kathleen Coxwell emphasizes that the most meaningful inheritance isn't wealth, but the financial values that shape how it's used. By teaching principles like earning, investing, credit, and purposeful work, you can equip your heirs with the mindset to build lasting success. These lessons offer a roadmap for raising financially capable, thoughtful individuals who can sustain and grow any legacy. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.boldin.com/retirement/passing-on-financial-values-to-your-heirs/ Quotes to ponder: "The best inheritance is the set of financial values that teach respect for money." “Enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing.” "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime."

If you're going through something difficult take courage from this quote that came across my path last week. "Most troubles are not as black as they seem if you pull them into the sunshine and shine the light on them." - Robert Alden. Here's yet another quote that came across my path while playing a game on my phone. “A single Sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.” St Francis of Assisi (as well as my Word Cookies game).

On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with behavioral scientist and author Leidy Klotz to explore how your environment shapes your mindset, relationships, and ability to perform at your best. Drawing from his new book, In a Good Place, Leidy shares how the spaces we live and work in can either support or limit our growth, connection, and sense of purpose—often in ways we don't consciously recognize. Kristel and Leidy dive into how small shifts in your surroundings can create meaningful changes in your habits, confidence, and overall well-being. They also explore how your perspective and choices within different environments can influence how you show up in your work and life. If you're looking to elevate your energy, strengthen your relationships, and create conditions that support sustainable high performance, this conversation offers a powerful new lens.

In this episode of “Happy Marriage, Happy Life,” Sheikh Ghazi al Asmar explains the rights and responsibilities of husbands and wives in Islam, emphasising that both spouses are entitled to kindness, respect, care, and fairness. He highlights that a husband is responsible for financially and emotionally supporting his wife, providing suitable accommodation, and maintaining patience and self-control, especially during conflict, as anger is never an excuse for harmful behaviour. He also encourages couples to resolve issues through Islamic guidance, trusted advice, and mutual understanding rather than social media or impulsive decisions, stressing that strong marriages are built on religious principles, appreciation, and compassion.

This isn't just a story about what happened then—it's an invitation to rethink what you believe now, stand firm when the crowd shifts, and discover how even the darkest moments can lead to resurrection. The song we used for the intro was "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods. The ending song was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

A couple of quotes from today's episode. "Sometimes we get so busy focusing on the physical that we forget the rest of it all." "Wondering and pondering are vital to really living." This is especially true if we want to live a Happy Life. One of the easiest ways to get to wondering is by wandering. Giving ourselves space to just walk. Not to think. Not to do. To just be.  Because we wonder as we wander, but we don't wander when we wonder. We would also like to give a special thanks to James Kocian, for the use of his amazing songs "Light As A Feather", "More Beautiful", "NPRrrr Music Box" and "NPRrrr Synth".

What if your brain isn't fixed—but constantly growing, shrinking, and reshaping based on how you live each day? In this powerful episode, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Wendy Suzuki to unpack the science of neuroplasticity and what it really takes to build a stronger, sharper, more resilient brain in today's high-stimulation, AI-driven world. From the concept of “cognitive offloading” to the hidden cost of digital dependence, this conversation reveals why your ability to think independently may be your greatest competitive advantage in 2026 and beyond. Dr. Suzuki introduces her groundbreaking concept of the “neurochemical bubble bath”—a simple, science-backed method where just 10 minutes of movement can trigger hippocampal neurogenesis, strengthen your prefrontal cortex, reduce anxiety, and dramatically improve focus and memory. Together, we explore the minimum effective dose of exercise for brain health, the dopamine traps hijacking your attention, and how movement becomes more than physical—it becomes a direct neurological intervention. Whether you're battling brain fog, looking to sharpen your edge, or future-proof your mind against cognitive decline, this episode delivers a practical and powerful roadmap to a “Healthy Brain, Happy Life.” Follow Wendy: Instagram - https://bit.ly/3wIeNZw Twitter - https://bit.ly/3V3gHNL Dr. JC Doornick Links: Website - www.makessensebook.com YT -    / @drjcdoornick IG -   / @drjcdoornick FB -   / @makessensepodcast Makes Sense Book - https://tinyurl.com/makessensepurchase MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.

St. Patrick's Day, International Day of Happiness and the Paralympics so eloquently tell us that we are all on the same team, team human being. Paralympic snowboarder, Brenna Huckaby's parents told Brenna, “We just want you to find happiness in who you are because you are the gold, and we love you.” Jason Brown, Olympic figure skater said, "When you can embrace and see how much you're supported and loved, that's winning." So smile, because your life is Olympic, you are the gold and you've already won! If you would like to help us spread the Happy we would appreciate it greatlyPayPal: www.PayPal.me/StevoHaysCash App: $HappyLifeStudiosZelle: StevoHays@gmail.comVenmo: @StevoHaysBuy Me A Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/HappyLifeStudioCheck: Payable to Hays Ministries or Steve Hays and send to 27240 213th Place S.E.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Curtis Marshall — a founding member of Dental Intelligence and someone I've been lucky to call a brother for over 15 years.Curtis helped build Dental Intelligence into one of the fastest-growing companies in the dental industry, now approaching $100M in annual revenue. But this conversation goes far beyond business. We talk about entrepreneurship, friendship, personal growth, and the principles that actually lead to a fulfilling life.Curtis shares the early story of joining a startup that would become Dental Intelligence, how data transformed the way dentists run their businesses, and the simple formula they use to help dental offices dramatically increase profitability.We also get into:• The four levers that drive business profitability• Lessons from building a $100M company from the ground up• Why focusing on what you can control changes everything• The importance of brotherhood and men doing the inner work• Travel experiences that reshape how you see people• Why curiosity is the opposite of judgment• How improving yourself improves your family and community• The power of focusing on what actually mattersThis episode is really just two longtime friends talking about life, growth, business, and what it takes to build something meaningful.

Psychologist and best-selling author, Kelly Weekers, was one of The Netherlands' top models, crowned Miss Holland in 2011. At the peak of her modeling career, she stunned the nation when she decided to pivot to become a psychologist. This decision came after experiencing the negative implications of the modeling industry especially on one's self-esteem. Kelly chose to forge a career in her true passion, Psychology and help people  reach their purpose, happiness and authenticity. Her latest and 3rd book ‘Choosing Me' came out in January 2024. It is the go-to guide to living authentically and being true to yourself.  Her first book Happy Life 365 teaches the art of a joyous mindset. Her second book launched in 2022; The Power of Choice - a personal memoir organically blended with expert advice to empower readers in the power of their personal choices. Kelly distinguished herself as one of Europe's leading psychology experts, a regular spokesperson in the international media, and a TV panelist on the topic of mental health and authenticity.  She sold over 300.000 copies of her latest self-published book. She now works exclusively with celebrities and CEOs with harnessing their authenticity in life and business. She and her family moved from the Netherlands to Ibiza where they are finishing the building of their home. This is now their full-time residence.

It's time for another Ask Me Anything: Spring Edition, one of your favorite series where I answer the lovely questions you've all been sending in. we talk about everything from helping a grumpy 10-year-old get out of bed in the morning to the deeper topics so many of us are quietly carrying: loneliness, overwhelm, relaxation, and creating simple routines that work in real life. I share a few practical “tiny tweaks” that can make mornings smoother with kids, the surprising reason so many capable women feel disconnected from community today, and simple ways to start building friendships again. We also chat about the story behind the pink cover of my book Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life, plus a few small habits that can help you relax and reset when life feels like a lot. If you're feeling stretched thin this spring, this episode is full of simple encouragement and small shifts that can make a big difference. Because often, the path forward starts with just one tiny tweak.

Olympic Smiling isn't a sport in the Olympics, but if it was, here are my top contenders for the podium. Listen and be inspired as we talk about the Happy of the Olympics, celebrating the start of the Paralympics. There are some great stories in here that will motivate you and increase your Happy! As Google would tell you... “The Paralympics are widely considered as, or in some cases more, motivational than the Olympics, as they showcase elite athleticism alongside stories of overcoming immense physical, social, and personal obstacles. While Olympic broadcasts often focus on high-stakes competition, the Paralympic Games are recognized for fostering profound inspiration, and highlighting the extraordinary adaptability of the human body.” - GoogleHere is a link for The Nor-Way video we talked about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIi6IqP7-bMWe would also like to give a special thanks to James Kocian, for the use of the song "Mission" that he created for Happy Life Studios.

The Big Idea: Marriage isn't dying - It's Misunderstood Emerson explains the dynamic that has helped millions of couples: "Without Love, She reacts without Respect. Without Respect, He reacts without Love." - The Crazy Cycle Many husbangs aren't bad men, They're tired. They feel nothing they do is good enough. So they withdraw. And when they withdraw, their wives feel unloved. And the cycle spins. Why "Happy Wife, Happy Life" is Dangerous When a man bases his worth on his wife's happiness: -He makes her his emotional god. -He becomes insecure. -He becomes reactive. -He slowly loses hope. Emerson reframes this powerfully, "Is your value God-given... or spouse driven?" God may use your wife to refine you, but she does not get to define you. Why Men Stonewall (And Why It's Misunderstood) University of Washington research (2,000 couples over 20 years) revealed: -85% of those who withdraw in conflict are men. -Men's heart rate spike into fight-or-flight mode during heated arguments. -Withdrawal is an attempt to de-escalate, not to reject. But wives interpret it as: "I don't love you." That's where mutual understanding matters more than communication. The Sexual Disconnect: What Most Couples Miss Men often think, "If she loved me, she'd meet my sexual needs." Women often think, "If he loved me, he'd emotionally connect first." The truth? Both want emotional and sexual connection. They just start from different ends. "You have to love her emotionally apart from sexual agenda." When she feels safe, secure and pursued, her desire increases. When he feels respected and wanted, his heart opens. This isn't manipulation. It's understanding design. Different Shades of Right One of the most practical lightbuld moments: Most marriage conflict is not moral, it's preference. It's not black and white, but different shades of right. Instead of: "I'm right, you're wrong." Try: "We're teammates. Same team. Same goal. Different plays."  That language changes everything. Emerson's Challenge: Picture Jeses standing beyond your wife's shoulder. When she annoys you... Ask yourself, "Would I respond this way if I knew I was doing this unto Christ?" You would die for her. The real question is, "Can you live with her... patiently, consistently and sacrificially?"

Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    Today I'm sitting down with Erin Port—one of my brilliant business coaching clients and a dear friend—to discuss her new book, Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life. If you're tired of empty promises, burnout, and overwhelming advice, you'll relate to our conversation.   Here's what I know about you: you don't need permission to rest or rise. You need a strategy that fits your life—something that helps you enjoy your days rather than just get through them. That's what Erin offers. She shows how small tweaks create momentum you didn't know you needed.   This is how high performers stay consistent without burnout. They don't overhaul their routines or lives. They adjust, optimize, and move forward with intention.   Timestamps: (06:04) - Why Tiny Tweaks Beat Big Life Overhauls Every Time (08:02) - The One Question to Ask Before You Start Anything New (12:48) - The Happiness Square: A Simple Framework for More Daily Joy (17:14) - The Tiny Tweaks Erin Made That Quietly Paid Off Big (22:54) -  Why Celebrating Tiny Wins Changes Everything WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:  Join Alli's Substack - Wise Woman Era Erin's Book: Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life Erin's Song Recommendations: Goodness of God, Brave, Feel This Moment. & Fight Song Erin's TV Recommendation: When Calls the Heart Erin's Book Recommendation: Garden City Erin's Product Recommendations: Wite Out Correction Tape & Sweet Loren's Cookie Dough The Uplift app is here!
