There are conversations every parent knows they should have — and most of them never do. In this episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, mother and daughter go deep on the exact things they wish someone had said to them before life had to teach them the hard way.From family alcoholism surfacing after a 15-year-old's first drunken night, to growing up with two alcoholic parents and never once hearing 'I love you' — Barb and Michelle trace how silence passes down through generations, and what it actually takes to break that chain. This one is for every parent afraid to say the hard thing, and every adult child who's still waiting to hear it.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why 'protecting' your kids from hard truths usually means protecting yourself from discomfort- How to create a safe space so your child actually comes to you — without fishing or manipulating- The HALT tool (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and how to make it a natural part of family life- What to do when you've already said something that closed your child off — and how to repair it- Why you don't need the perfect moment — and how to let hard conversations unfold naturallyFrom psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck's famous opening line in The Road Less Traveled: "Life is difficult." Rather than seeing this as pessimistic, Barb taught Michelle that accepting life's challenges is one of the greatest pathways to peace, resilience, and emotional freedom.“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult ―once we truly understand and accept it― then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” - M. Scott PeckDon't wait for the sit-down talk.

Michelle opens up about the unexpected emptiness she felt after her biggest accomplishment, and Barb reveals something she has never experienced: a void.

Comparison is the one emotion everybody feels and nobody admits to — and Barb Schmidt and Michelle Maros of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle were scared to record this episode for a reason.

If you've ever felt something ugly creep in while watching someone else win — and then felt ashamed of it — this one is for you.What you'll take away: Why 85% of your daily thoughts are negative — and how comparison supercharges the loop How jealousy and envy are signals, not character flaws — and what they're actually pointing to The self-talk method for catching comparison before it turns into resentment Why "be better than yesterday" might be quietly doing more damage than good How to let comparison fuel action instead of shame Don't risk letting comparison keep stealing your joy without ever asking what it was trying to tell you.

How Much Does Life Insurance Really Cost? Episode 381 – A recent survey by LIMRA presented a jarring statistic: young adults believe that the cost of a life insurance policy is 10 to 12 times higher than it really is. The truth is that, for young people, the security and peace of mind a life insurance policy may provide may be a lot more affordable than you think. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 381 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: how much does life insurance really cost? According to a survey by LIMRA, a life insurance trade organization, and Life Happens, an industry nonprofit, younger Americans tend to overestimate the cost of life insurance to a startling extent. Surveyors asked people aged 18 to 30 how much they thought a 20-year term life insurance policy would cost. The estimates were off-base. They averaged between 10 and 12 times the actual cost.[1] This is a common misconception. A surprising number of people, particularly younger Americans, believe that life insurance is more expensive than it actually is. The perceived cost was cited as a reason why many Gen Z and Millennial adults, who generally recognize the need for life insurance, do not have it.[2] Why do people get the numbers so wrong? According to author Dan Kraft at Life Insurance News, the answer might be found by studying behavioral economics and the concept of “anchoring.” “When consumers think of life insurance, they anchor the idea to big, long-term expenses—mortgages, car payments or medical bills. The assumption becomes: If it's long-term, it must be expensive.”[3] According to NerdWallet, if you're a 30-year-old in good health, the average cost for a $500,000 20-year term life insurance policy is $215 per year for males, and $194 per year for females.[4] In other words, less than $20 per month. Keep in mind that these are average rates for non-smokers. If you smoke, the rates are likely going to be considerably higher. Compare that to the cost of a cup of coffee, which averages $3 to $4 at Starbucks, depending on the location, size and type.[5] So if you're getting coffee more than 6 or 7 times a month, a life insurance policy could be cheaper. Streaming services are another example of something that can be more expensive than life insurance. The average cost is $70 per month, per household.[6] What this means is that even though many don't realize it, a small adjustment in your discretionary spending could help provide you with peace of mind and a more secure future for you and your family. But of course, we're talking here about a term life insurance policy, and term policies expire. How much does a permanent life insurance policy cost? When it comes to whole life insurance, the average annual cost is $3,662 for men age 30, and $3,292 for women.[7] That's considerably more, but not as much as some might expect. And in the long run, buying life insurance younger may, in fact, be less expensive. By the time your first term life insurance policy expires, the next one is going to cost more, simply because you're older. And that assumes you can even qualify medically for a new policy. Any adverse health development over that initial 20-year period could make it much more expensive—or even impossible—to buy a new policy. Also, whole life insurance policies can accrue a cash value, which a term life insurance policy doesn't. In certain circumstances, you may be able to access the cash value in the policy if you need to, by taking withdrawals or policy loans. The net cost, or difference between premiums paid and cash value, could be considered as the true out of pocket cost of the policy. In some cases that is less than a term policy, and for permanent coverage. But remember that with all types of life insurance—whether term or permanent—the rates go up as you get older. Your second term life insurance policy is very likely to cost a lot more than the first one, even if your health stays the same. But whole life insurance gives you the chance to lock in those lower rates for life. It may cost more now, but with most policies the premium stays the same for life. If you choose a whole life insurance policy, someday you may be glad you did. These are broad guidelines and policy contracts can have different characteristics, even if they're the same basic type of policy. So be sure to compare your options carefully. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can augment or assemble your team and coordinate with your attorney and tax professional to review your situation and to determine the insurance plan that will best suit your needs and objectives. Regardless of which type of policy you choose, perhaps the most important decision you can make is to simply get started. As with so many other things, the longer you wait, the more it could end up costing you.

You've read the books. You've tried the meditation. You've done the journaling, the breathwork, the therapy. So why do you still feel stuck?In this episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, master well-being educator Devi Brown joins the conversation for one of the most honest discussions about healing we've ever had. Devi spent years teaching wellness to athletes, executives, and thousands of students through her Deeply Well podcast and her work at Chopra Global. Then her own life fell apart... and she discovered that everything she'd been teaching wasn't enough to save her.What she built from that breaking point became her book Living in Wisdom... a completely different approach to healing that doesn't start with fixing yourself. It starts with being brave enough to actually meet yourself. This conversation goes beyond surface-level wellness and into the real, messy, uncomfortable process of becoming whole.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why "doing the work" can still leave you stuck... and what's actually missing- The difference between surface-level wellness and true well-being- What "Complex Lived Experience" means and why it changes how you think about your pain- Why Devi's 8-step healing process starts with grief, not gratitude- What it looks like to live in wisdom on an ordinary Tuesday... not just during a retreatIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not feeling better... this episode is going to change how you think about the entire journey. Devi's book Living in Wisdom is available now in paperback (as of TODAY).

If you're running a business that only survives when you're hustling every single day, this episode is for you. I'm Raquel Quinet, and on today's Play Bigger podcast, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about how life threw me off course and the leadership lessons it taught me about building a business that truly works for you, not the other way around.Last week, my world got shaken. My family and I made the difficult decision to move my mom back into her own home and reorganize her care. She has dementia and diabetes, and navigating this process brought intense emotions, unexpected logistics, and hard medical decisions. It reminded me very clearly that life doesn't wait for business plans. And if your business collapses the moment life demands your attention, you're not building freedom; you're running another demanding job disguised as a business.In this episode, I break down the leadership and business lessons I learned while managing this personal challenge:

Because God is not the author of confusion — and peace often begins with clearing what no longer belongs. Today in Day 6, we focus on one everyday friction point — an entryway, purse, junk drawer, bathroom cabinet, or kitchen hot spot — and make it function more smoothly for your real daily rhythm. New to the series? Start with Day 1: God Is Not the Author of Confusion — Start Clearing the Clutter Today and move through the week with us. As a professional home organizer and Christian mom myself, I know how quickly clutter can build during full seasons of life — and how powerful small, faithful steps can be in restoring peace at home.

This week on Mike'D Up!, Russ Hedge returns with a story of resilience, faith, and redemption. After facing stage four melanoma and the brutal realities of treatment, Russ shares how his strong faith helped him navigate through uncertainty and battle fear. He recently received the incredible news that he is cancer-free. But this is not only a story about surviving cancer. It's about choosing perspective when everything feels out of control. Rooted in the message of his book Life Happens…Then You Choose, Russ reveals how adversity can become fuel, how mindset shapes meaning, and why hope is a decision we make daily. When we are weak, God is our strength. Beyond the diagnosis, this conversation dives into leadership, business, and relationships. It pinpoints why community always supercedes audience. An audience tunes in…a real community participates. It unpacks how service builds trust, and how authentic connections always outlast forced transactional selling. Life will happen. The question is: what will you choose to do next? If you're facing a battle, building something meaningful, or searching for clarity in the middle of uncertainty, this episode will remind you that your perspective, along with strong faith, is your ultimate power.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Life Happens…Then You Choose The Experience with Russ & Scott Podcast The Go-Giver How to Win Friends and Influence People The Divine Equation My first interview with Russ   Connect with Russ:  Website Book Podcasts LinkedIn Facebook  YouTube    Connect with Mike: Linktree   SPONSORS: Social Chameleon | Transform Your Podcast   AFFILIATES: Libsyn: First Month FREE with Promo Code BEGREAT Riverside | This interview was recorded on Riverside   Want to become a show sponsor or affiliate?

Sunday Morning Service at Nazareth Community Church with Pastor Jason Fink

Life doesn't slow down just because we feel overwhelmed — and yet so many of us are quietly waiting for the next milestone to finally feel happy.In round two with Dr. Rachel Goldman, we talk about her upcoming book When Life Happens (out April 7) and what it actually means to reclaim your joy in the middle of uncertainty — not after you move cities, land the job, find the partner, or “figure it all out.”We unpack decision fatigue, the pressure to have life mapped out by a certain age, and the trap of “I'll be happy when…” Dr. Rachel shares the CBT tools she uses with clients to help them get unstuck — starting with acceptance, coming back to your why, and making small, intentional tweaks that build momentum. Because becoming happier isn't about a dramatic life overhaul — it's about learning how to work with your thoughts instead of against them.We also dive into one of my favorite questions: how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition — and how slowing down might be the most radical act of self-trust.If you've been craving clarity, feeling restless, or wondering whether you need to change everything to feel better — this conversation is your reminder that joy is something you can practice, not just achieve.You can also check out our previous episode here

Life has a way of interrupting even the best routines, and the past few weeks have been a reminder that unexpected stress can shift your priorities in ways you never planned for.In this episode of Classy & Sassy, I'm sharing a real life check-in about navigating emotional fatigue, giving yourself permission to pause, and what happens when your normal rhythm gets disrupted. We're also talking about who really shows up when life gets hard, setting boundaries, and learning to protect your peace without guilt.Plus, I'm sharing what I've been watching while life was definitely life-ing, a few books that gave me a mental escape, and some honest lessons this season has taught me.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or just trying to find your footing again, this conversation is for you.

If you've ever told yourself you can't be consistent with food because “life happens,” this episode is for you.In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down why stress, grief, busyness, and hard seasons are not the real reason lasting change hasn't happened. She explains how “life happens” often masks a deeper issue with food, why denial keeps people stuck, and why honest acceptance is the first step toward real recovery and food freedom.This is a compassionate but direct conversation about addiction, accountability, and why waiting for life to calm down keeps you trapped in the same cycle.Perfect for anyone struggling with emotional eating, food addiction, binge eating, or repeated weight regain who is ready for the truth that leads to real change.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Freedom Online Course: https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodfreedomcourseFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcWant to learn more about me and my coaching programs?

To make this statement, which is subjective, we need to clarify what we mean by self-worth. I have nine kids. Did they have any worth as infants? Or no, because they hadn't earned their self worth  yet? How about as toddlers? Kindergartners? My belief is they were born with self worth. They deserve to have value in the world just because they exist. I think of the Rocky Mountains I live in. I don't perceive that anything I observe has to earn its worth. They have worth because they are. Now us as humans, we may want to do some things. Grow and test ourselves. I get that and still look to behave in ways I respect as good choices and efforts. But like Viktor Frankl in a Nazi concentration camp, I want my self-worth not to rely on anything. I wish I'd understood this earlier in my life, as I've spent most of it working to earn my errant concept of, or ignorance toward, my self-worth. So in this episode I bring on a wonderful guide for this topic. Michelle Maros  is the cofounder of Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life, a non-profit that has inspired a global community dedicated to mental health, mindfulness, and emotional well-being, and she co-hosts the popular podcast Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, alongside her mom, Barb, where they have heartfelt conversations blending personal stories, spiritual insights, and practical tools for navigating life's ups and downs. Michelle has devoted herself to extensive training in meditation and mindfulness and has a deep passion for helping people cultivate happiness, fulfillment, and inner peace. She has become a leading voice of her generation— reminding people that inner peace isn't found in perfection, but in showing up each day with intention, compassion, and authenticity. She just came out with a book, Dear Friend: Daily Notes for Contemplation, Connection, and Clarity. I relate it to a daily devotional, and have been inspiring and reminding myself with her daily insights. As you'll hear, I'm gifting some people in my life with this book for Christmas.

When faced with obstacles, remember to shake it off and take one step at a time toward your goals.

This week on Win Today, esteemed restaurateur Kevin Boehm joins me to name the subtle drift from hope to heaviness: how fear hides under the guise of practicality, how the self‑help blueprint promises control but delivers unease, and why your plate of food may be less incidental than you think—it could be a peacemaker for your soul. We dismantle the lie that you must always surge forward; sometimes the bravest step is backward. We expose what happens when you stop lying to yourself and start living honestly. If you've ever felt stuck in performance, disguised your fear as "logic," or missed the meaning beneath the menu, this conversation will unsettle and re‑anchor you. Guest Bio Kevin Boehm is a restaurateur, author, and speaker whose work encompasses hospitality, culture, and the gospel of presence. As co‑founder of BOKA Restaurant Group and author of The Bottomless Cup, he has navigated the collision of excellence, exhaustion, fear, and hope, discovering that what feeds the body often reveals what starves the soul. Kevin's voice challenges the self‑help aesthetic and invites you into the broader story where life is for you, not to you. Show Partner SafeSleeve designs a phone case that blocks up to 99% of harmful EMF radiation—so I'm not carrying that kind of exposure next to my body all day. It's sleek, durable, and most importantly, lab-tested by third parties. The results aren't hidden—they're published right on their site. And that matters, because a lot of so-called EMF blockers on the market either don't work or can't prove they do. We protect our hearts and minds—why wouldn't we protect our bodies too?

Ready to stop trading hours for dollars and start building assets that work while you sleep? We sit down with Kathy, a veteran blogger of nearly two decades, to unpack how she moved beyond volatile ad revenue and turned her highest-value posts into profitable digital products—starting with simple printables and growing into the Safe Harbor Emergency Binder System. This isn't about shiny tools or complicated funnels; it's about solving real problems your audience already has and delivering a clear path to results.Kathy shares the early days of blogging for a frugal homesteading audience, why ads once made sense, and what changed as search engines answered queries directly and social algorithms got noisier. We dig into her first wins on Etsy by packaging top goat-care posts into affordable PDFs, then explore how a single high-traffic article evolved into a complete emergency binder that families can grab in a crisis. From tornado prep and wildfire evacuations to everyday needs like policy numbers, titles, passwords, and DMV checklists, the binder's value is peace of mind and time saved—benefits that resonate far beyond her original niche.We also get tactical: how to choose your first product by mining analytics, structure it around a job-to-be-done, and use email marketing—not social—to educate, nurture, and sell without feeling pushy. You'll learn why a simple “Life Happens” opt-in accelerates trust, how to design a customer journey with natural next steps, and the mindset shift from “I shouldn't ask for money” to “I prescribe solutions that help.” If you're a creator or blogger feeling squeezed by RPMs and algorithms, this conversation shows a practical, values-aligned path to sustainable revenue.Subscribe for more creator business strategies, share this episode with a friend who needs a nudge to launch their first product, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep bringing you actionable stories.Read more HERE.Support the show
