The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
What do you do when you're blindsided by unexpected and total life changes? I'm talking about the kind that shatter your sense of identity, happiness, and success all at once. How do you manage those overwhelming emotions and find a direction again? In this episode, you'll learn just that: how to grow and heal when everything falls apart, find direction when you're feeling trapped, and rebuild your sense of well-being for a new version of love, happiness, and success. I'm joined by Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, creator of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya brings both personal experience and research-backed insight to the question so many people ask during major life transitions: Why does this feel so exhausting, disorienting, and scary — and how do I move forward without losing myself? Together, we talk about why life changes often feel like a threat to your identity, why uncertainty can drain your energy, and why there's no single “right” way to grieve after major life events. Maya shares gentle, practical ways to begin healing that don't require pushing yourself to be positive, rushing the process, or overhauling your life when you're already tired. As you listen, I'd invite you to reflect on this: When so much has changed at once, what parts of you are still here? And what might become possible if this chapter isn't the end of your story, but the beginning of something different? Episode Breakdown 00:00 When Life Falls Apart 01:23 Why Total Life Changes Feel So Destabilizing 01:55 Maya's Story: Losing Big Dreams During Major Life Changes 07:10 How Life Transitions Threaten Identity 07:44 Finding Your “Why” After Everything Changes 11:17 There's No One Right Way To Grieve Life Events 15:51 Why Uncertainty Is So Exhausting During Life Changes 22:33 A Self-Affirmation Tool For Identity After Total Life Changes 28:20 Moral Elevation: Finding Hope During Difficult Life Transitions 37:14 Why Community Helps You Heal After Major Life Events 42:35 Shared Psychology: Different Life Changes, Same Emotional Truths 45:40 Share This Episode With Someone Navigating Change If you're living through total life changes right now and could use steady, thoughtful support as you find your footing again, I want to offer you something. I've created a simple way for you to schedule a free consultation that's designed to truly meet you where you are. By answering three quick questions, you'll be personally matched with the counselor or coach who's best suited for what you're navigating right now. This is a private, secure process, it only takes a couple of minutes, and it's my way of making sure you don't have to figure all of this out on your own. If this episode helped you put language to what you've been carrying, consider this an open door. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self
What do you do when life has been hard for a long time—and you're trying to keep homeschooling anyway?In this episode, I respond to a heartfelt question from a mom who believes deeply in intentional motherhood, homeschooling, and building a beautiful life with her children… but has been knocked down by a season of real hardship and healing.We talk about:Why happiness can feel inaccessible after dark or difficult seasonsWhy feeling constantly annoyed is often a sign of exhaustion, not failureHow the pressure of the “shoulds” keeps us stuckWhy you don't restart homeschooling the same way you paused itAnd how joy, peace, and motivation return gently—not through forceThis is not a push-through-it conversation. It's a compassionate, honest discussion about nervous system regulation, healing, parenting, and what homeschooling can look like when capacity is limited.If you've been wondering how to move forward without rushing yourself, this episode is for you.
Set your intentions for the new year through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of two poems, "Don't Hesitate", by Mary Oliver and "This New Year", by James Crews.This version ends with music allowing you to drift off into sleep.Don't Hesitate, by Mary OliverIf you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plentyof lives and whole towns destroyed or aboutto be. We are not wise, and not very oftenkind. And much can never be redeemed.Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps thisis its way of fighting back, that sometimessomething happens better than all the richesor power in the world. It could be anything,but very likely you notice it in the instantwhen love begins. Anyway, that's often the case.Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraidof its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.This New Year, by James Crewscrumbs will no longer be enough.You want whole loaves of joy,feast of exuberance laid outon the table of each waiting day.You want awe for the smallest things—drop of honey lifted off the platewith a fingertip, that kiss of summer,and Ball jars of bone broth leftto cool on the back of the stove,golden and healing. No resolutioncould ever live up to the feelingof just being here, sprinting intothe new year like a child let loosefrom parents in the park, runningand running without a destinationinto the open arms of the air.Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Tony Robbins shares a truth that will stop you in your tracks: every limiting belief you have comes down to one core fear, and once you understand it, everything changes. The conversation moves from his childhood in LA where four different fathers shaped his identity, to the night he ran 17 miles home doing incantations that built the unstoppable force he is today. You'll learn why most people approach breakthroughs in reverse order, starting with strategy when they should start with state, and how that single mistake keeps them locked in place. Tony breaks down the hero's journey we're all on, whether we realize it or not, and why the challenges destroying you right now are actually calls to adventure that will make you stronger than you ever imagined.Join Tony at the Time To Rise Summit and step into your next level of growth, clarity, and connection.Explore this breathtaking Bel Air estate at Carolwood Estates.Tony's books:Awaken the Giant WithinNotes from a FriendUnlimited PowerMoney: Master the GameUnshakeable: Your Financial Freedom PlaybookThe Path: Accelerating Your Journey to Financial FreedomLife ForceThe Holy Grail of InvestingIn this episode you will:Break through the limiting belief that you're not enough by recognizing it's really a fear that you won't be lovedMaster the art of building internal certainty so you never have to rent it from external circumstances like jobs, money, or other people's approvalDiscover why your mental and emotional state controls your story, and your story controls what strategies you'll even attempt in lifeTransform your relationship with stress by understanding the difference between managing circumstances and creating your lifeUnlock championship biochemistry in your own body by understanding how testosterone and cortisol create the state of peak performanceFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1875For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis Howes [SOLO]Dr. Caroline LeafJim Curtis Get more from Lewis!

The book of Ruth opens with tragedy, no mention of God, and no relief from the hardship. Naomi has lost her husband, her sons, and is in the foreign land of Moab outside of the Promised Land. Yet, the Lord is present in the struggle. In the bitter providence that has no explanation, the Lord is still good and He is still God. He is the same today and always, that however life leads us - He remains.

Breathe in goodness, strength, love, hope - whatever it is you need right now - and then send it out into the world. Julie Potiker completes her meditation with some words about Chanukah.This version ends with music allowing you to drift off into sleep.As we come out of meditationand return to the movement of the day,we remember that this is the week of Chanukah —the week when light is kindled, night by night.Before any flame is struck,we pause with what the light represents:a people who have known loss and fear,and who continue to choose presence and endurance.We carry the memory of thosewho were killed simply for being who they were,and we hold that memory with care.When evening comes,and the candles are kindled,may they remind us that light does not rush —it is tended, protected, and renewed.May we move through this dayas quiet bearers of that light,choosing dignity over despair,and awareness over numbness.May the light we will kindle tonightbegin its work in us now.-Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Settle in to peace and quiet through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She competes the meditation with the poem, "Why read poetry if it won't make you rich?", by Joy SullivanWhy read poetry if it won't make you rich?For starters, your soul will get bigger.Your love, more terrible and luminous. Soon, you'll say tender things at parties after too much champagne. A sidewalk quince, wet with midnight, will stop you in your tracks. In time, you'll find the perfect metaphor for your child's face. All at once, you'll see the world and want it again: clothes flapping on the line, lilacs strewn and seeding, the luck of worms. An artichoke with its heart torn hot and steaming from the throbbingcrown will suddenly turn you on.—Joy SullivanFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Here's the real question: Do you think the sorrow diminished, or extinguished, the joy? Does your pain diminish, or extinguish, your joy? There's always a boatload of pain in the middle of our Christmas stories. Families that are not at peace. Maybe there is someone who can't come home, or won't come home, or someone you lost. Maybe there is pain because you couldn't give the gifts you wanted, or maybe the gifts you did give were unwanted. For many, the apparent joy of others only intensifies the loneliness and unhappiness they themselves feel. So, does your pain diminish, or extinguish, your joy? Joy is easy in the context of a manger. Joy is easy when our choreography comes true. But what about when our plans are shattered. What about in the context of brokenness? Or what about in the face of evil? Is joy still possible in the context of the slaughter?

Bring compassion into your breath through this meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "The Most Important Thing", by Marie Marchand from her book, Mostly Sweet, Lovely, Human Things.The Most Important ThingI asked the stars:What is the most important thing?The panorama of bright sentinels remainedsilent and just keep shining.So I repeated my question, this time imploringly:What is the most important thing?It was urgent. My time here is limited.I deserve clarity. I deserve truth.Summer's nightwind caressed my face.I accepted this show of earthly tenderness,of warm reassurance, but divinedno answer from the twinkling firmamentabove. The stars just kept shiningwith an irksome persistence.Maybe I didn't deserve an answer.Or maybe I wasn't approaching thiswith enough reverence. So, insteadof looking up, I bowed my headand looked within.What is the most important thing?I whispered so only I could hear. Then behindmy eyes, a blend of space and light emerged.The whole universe opened up inside of me.There was silence. There was peace.The stars aligned.And without makinga sound, they just kept shining.-Marie MarchandFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Ruth 1Senior Pastor Nick Sandefur
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Jess Connolly—author, podcaster, and speaker—invites us into a season of her life marked by heartbreak and uncertainty. Jess opens up about the winter of 2023, when her husband experienced panic attacks, heart issues, and a mental health crisis. At the same time, her family was facing major loss as her stepfather passed away after heart surgery, while also preparing for a book release. Followed by one of her children walking through a dark trial. Jess brings so much truth and gentle encouragement to anyone walking through a season that desperately needs hope, not the shallow Christian clichés we often hear, but a deep and steady hope that God is with us in the valley. Here's some of what we cover: The myth of the “prosperity gospel of parenting” and why 1+2 does not always equal 3 The pressure to assign purpose to a painful season Rethinking Psalm 23 and understanding the rod and the staff Learning to lament: why anger expressed to God is actually intimacy An exclusive sneak peak at her next book!

Sit back and sink into this healing meditation led by Julie Potiker.

She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "Limitation", by Marie Marchand, from her book, "Mostly Sweet, Lovely, Human Things".Limitation, by Marie Marchand"I closed my mouth and spoke to youin a hundred silent ways." - RUMIWords, although powerful and sometimes sacredare not the answer.This is hard for a poet to say.Words are sign posts, doorwaysto connection and the type of connectionthat reminds youof who you really are is usually found in silence.Language may accompany you to thatthreshold of inevitabilitybut then you must walk bravelypast the familiarity of forminto the negative space that awaits.Poets can bring you only so farbefore your imagination must take the wheelbefore your own soulmust drive to the shoreline alone wherethe only sounds are wavesand birds and the solaceof surrender.-Marie MarchandFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Today, your heart is going to rest in the truth that God is working all things together for your good — even the things you never would have chosen.Support Warfare Prayers Here

What holds a relationship together when life falls apart? Most of us picture the happiest moments when we think about our partner, but what happens when tragedy hits? In this intimate conversation, Dr. Laura Berman shares how she and her husband weathered some of life's hardest storms together. From dating him while she was caring for her young son with cancer, to the unimaginable loss of their son Sammy during the pandemic, Laura takes us inside the moments that tested their love, and the choices that kept them connected. Days after the death of their first child together, Sam pulled Laura close and said, “Most couples don't get through tragedies like this, but we will.” It's a reminder that the strength of a relationship isn't just built in joy, it's forged in the fire of what you survive together.
