In this episode of Healthy Living, Happy Life, we explore the “three-legged stool” of health—a powerful framework that emphasizes the importance of balancing nutrition, making good decisions, and accountability, especially during perimenopause and menopause. This holistic approach ensures that women in midlife can maintain strength, energy, and well-being while navigating the unique challenges that come with hormonal changes. By focusing on these three pillars, listeners will discover how small, consistent actions can lead to sustainable health and happiness. Learning Objectives: Understand the importance of balanced nutrition in supporting overall health during perimenopause and menopause, and how real, whole foods can impact energy, mood, and hormonal balance. Recognize the value of making thoughtful decisions about movement, rest, and self-care, and how these decisions can influence physical and mental well-being in midlife. Learn how accountability plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency and motivation, and explore practical ways to build systems of accountability to stay on track
Dogs Are Smarter Than People: Writing Life, Marriage and Motivation
Dogs are Smarter Than People, Writing Exercise, Cool Submission OpportunitySo, we're been talking about dialogue in novels lately and tips about it and the purpose of it. To find any back posts, just head to LIVING HAPPY and search “dialogue.”One of the things that some writing stylists talk about is the three-beat rule, which is credited to Screenwriter Cynthia Whitcomb.Reedsy explains this as:“What this recommends, essentially, is to introduce a maximum of three dialogue ‘beats' (the short phrases in speech you can say without pausing for breath) at a time. Only after these three dialogue beats should you insert a dialogue tag, action beat, or another character's speech.”If it sounds a bit formulaic, well, it is. But it can be really helpful, too, the way formulas usually can.Reedsy made a little graphic to demonstrate all this:Here's another example from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451:Montag stopped at the door, with his back turned. “Millie?” A silence. “What?” “Millie? Does the White Clown love you?” No answer. “Millie, does—” He licked his lips. “Does your ‘family' love you, love you very much, love you with all their heart and soul, Millie?”There's no Rule of Three here. It's more Rule of Three or Less, which makes it a tiny bit less formulaic, right, and it's natural.What Bradbury does is integrate the dialogue (spoken word) with the dialogue beats (the stopping at the door, the silence, the licking of lips.”That action beat is different from a dialogue tag, which is the she said, he said, we yelled. It is a beat of action or emotion or setting/senses. And the dialogue beat again (which is what the rule is about) is the "short phrases in speech you can say without pausing for breath.:But back to the less-than-three-beat rule. When we look up that at that Bradbury piece, emotions glide right in. He communicates the tension of the scene, right? And those short lines and short bits of talking make it very fast paced.People's brains react to that fast pace and recognize it and look for it in dialogue.PLACE TO SUBMITTHE FABER ACTION! PRIZEFaber launches the Action! Prize in direct response to research from the National Literacy Trust that reveals children's reading enjoyment is at its lowest level in almost two decades, and that the problem is most acute for boys.The prize will be launched in conjunction with Literary Manager and Film/TV Producer Eddie Gamarra, who will be judging the prize alongside Kieran Larwood, author of the World of Podkin One-Ear series, and with the support of EmpathyLab.The Action! Prize, now open to agented and unagented writers in the UK, Ireland and US, calls for fast-paced and filmic, action-packed adventure stories, and offers a publishing contract to the three winners. Entries to the prize need to feature a diverse cast of fully rounded characters in any one of these four age bands: 7–9, 9–11, 12–14, 14+.Faber Publisher Leah Thaxton says:‘We are all alarmed at the falling number of children reading for pleasure, especially when it comes to boys; it is clear they are not finding enough of what they need on the shelves. I'm keen we offer a much wider range of instantly appealing, action-packed stories that will compete with the adrenaline rush of gaming and screens. We know books are vital to children's development, so this prize is a call-out for high octane, filmic, thrilling fiction that will get children hooked (back) into books.'Founder of EmpathyLab, the UK's only charity that focuses on building children's empathy through use of high-quality literature, Miranda McKearney, OBE, says:‘This generation of boys face so many issues, including toxic masculinity, where an empathy education would help. Scientific research shows that empathy is learnable, and that books are a powerful tool to build it. So this Faber prize is a really welcome, practical initiative. Over time it will be a pipeline for author events from male authors, acting as inspiring empathy role models. Right now, our world has never needed empathy more.'Submissions are until January 30. More information is here.DOG TIP OF THE PODDogs like short sentences when it comes to dialogue. Sit. Treat. Walk.People do, too.It keeps our attention.COOL EXERCISEKatherine Cowley has a cool action beats exercise to help.“Write one paragraph in which a character takes a trip to the grocery store. Use just ONE type of action beat (for example, only long-shot action beats, only extreme close-up action beats, or only future action beats).“Then write a new paragraph in which a character takes a trip to the grocery store. This time use as many different types of action beats as possible.”RANDOM THOUGHT LINKMost of today's random thought was brought to you by Carrie being anxious and depressed, but the cool stuff about the wallaby is from here.SHOUT OUT!The music we've clipped and shortened in this podcast is awesome and is made available through the Creative Commons License.

Dogs Are Smarter Than People: Writing Life, Marriage and Motivation
A few years ago, we posted this episode about dialogue, and honestly? We're . . . um. . . burnt out because of the election and people. So, since we're already focusing on dialogue over on LIVING HAPPY, we're recycling (upcycing) this from a few years ago. Thanks for putting up with us! These next few podcasts, we thought we should get all nitty-gritty with some quick grammar tips or style tips for people writing fiction.It can help you nonfiction writers, too, we swear.When you're writing dialogue (people talking to each other), you're going to want to follow these punctuation rules.Use quotes. Have the dialogue tag (who the speaker is, the he said/she asked) in the actual same paragraph as the dialogue. Punctuate it all correctly. (That's a lot of knowledge right there.)But here's the big one:Don't go screwing around with those dialogue tags, also known as speaker tags.You want to keep it simple when it's a dialogue tag.“Said” and “asked” are your besties here. If you do anything else? You look like a crappy writer who is trying too hard and the tag becomes more attention-grabbing than the very important words your character said.“I love you,” she said reads a lot differently than “I love you,” she murmured and bellowed and hissed. That can be your intention, but you don't want to keep doing it all the time.Here look at it.“I love you,” she murmured.“I love you,” he cat-called.“I know,” she bellowed.He screamed, “Of course you do.”“And what do you mean by that?” she enthused.So, the other big thing to remember is this: You can't sigh out or smile out words, so don't use them for speaker tags. You can use them for dialogue beats, but that means you have to punctuate them differently.“I love you,” she said. – Requires a comma after the word ‘you,' and a lower-case S for ‘she.'“I love you.” She sighed. – Requires a period after the word ‘you,' and an upper-case S for ‘she.'Oh, and romance and horror writers, we all love to make our characters hiss especially when our lovers are shapeshifters, but you can't hiss out a bunch of words if there are no s-sounds.WRITING TIPS OF THE PODMake sure your reader knows who is speaking by putting the dialogue tag next to the dialogue.DOG TIP FOR LIFE Only call attention to the things you want to call attention to.In the Mood to Randomly Buy Us Coffee or the dogs some treats?

Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson has the unique experience of being an addict along with having studied the science of food addiction. In her book Bright Line Eating, The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free she discusses the concept of automaticity which is developing important new habits around the way we eat and behave. Her Susceptibility Scale quiz allows clients to determine on a scale of 1-10 how strongly their brains react to the reward of addictive foods."Her book, Rezoom addresses the ways in which we get off track from the program by lapsing. She offers ways to resume with acceptance and grace around addiction and recovery. Her approach toward various parts of our personalities that drive our food addiction such as the Saboteur, the Food Indulger and the Rebel helps her clients identify obstacles in their recovery and how to face them. She says the food industry is aware of our society's addiction to sugar and highly processed foods and deliberately is manufacturing it.Her new book is out, On This Bright Day, A Year of Reflections for Lasting Food Freedom has just been released and is a daily inspiration book to help food addicts recover. Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson is an inspiring person and a phenomenal advocate for recovery from food addiction!

Today I'm speaking with Dr Susan Pierce-Thompson, who is not only a New York Times best selling author, she is also the creator of a program that has helped thousands and thousands of people to drop a significant amount of weight (I'm talking 20-100 lbs) and keep it off using 4 simple rules defined in her book “Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free”. This is actually a 2 part series because when we did our pre interview chat and discovered we had SO much in common, I knew we weren't going to be able to fit it all in one episode. Part one will be her story of how she became addicted to drugs and alcohol, how she overcame them and then her addiction transference to food and the origins of how she developed Bright Line Eating. Before we jump in, a word from our sponsor - Sober Life School! When I am not working on the podcast, I am working with women who are really ready to take control over their lives so that they can live a life of clarity, purpose and have meaningful experiences. What we all face is internal resistance. That resistance can show up in not only substance use disorders, but self-sabotage, procrastination and repeating behavior patters that leave us feeling stuck. Listen, I have been there and I know how to break through those barriers. I have done it in my own life and in the lives of the hundreds of women I have worked with over the last 29 years. With tools like hypnosis, coaching, and self-esteem building exercise, you can change. You can reach your goals, even if you've tried 1000 times and failed. The key is the right information, the right support and taking the actions that lead to amazing outcomes. If you're ready to make life long changes, then visit soberlifeschool.com and book a no obligation call with me today!

“Conversations around money should be: what do you want? Who do you want to be? And how do we help you get there? Not only you individually, but your collective. Your collective is your family, your community, and beyond” Imagine a world where the language of money is universal, inclusive, and aligns with your life's purpose and passion. That's exactly the world Kim Curtis, CEO of Wealth Legacy Institute, envisions and is working towards. This episode exposes the unspoken gender dynamics in finance and the male-centric language that often excludes crucial aspects like life, passion, and joy. Kim takes us on her unique journey, from changing careers at 30 and overcoming money shame, to becoming a successful financial planner. Have you ever wondered how gendered financial language affects retirement strategies? Our hosts Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, along with Kim reveal the different retirement scenarios for men and women. They highlight the importance of community in retirement, providing insightful strategies to expand relationship circles and combat loneliness and boredom. Kim's candid discussion about her past experiences and how they have shaped her approach with clients is a testament to her holistic approach to finance. In the world of finance, skills extend far beyond number crunching. According to Kim, financial professionals also need resilience, self-awareness, and mediation skills. She shares valuable advice on recognizing biases in investing, understanding the differentiations between financial professionals, and the importance of patience and ownership in financial planning.

Finding Our Identity in Christ as Mothers with Special Guest Alli Worthington (Part 1) This time of year, when our children are going to school can be hard for so many moms. Whether it's kindergarten, college, or somewhere in between, we tend to find ourselves in a place of questioning our identity when our kids aren't with us. I invited my friend Alli Worthington on the show to talk about it as she shares some insight from her new book, Remaining You While Raising Them: The Secret Art of Confident Motherhood. Alli Worthington, known for her straight-talking encouragement and practical tools that help women reach their dreams in business and life, is the author of five books including The Year of Living Happy, Fierce Faith, Breaking Busy and her latest Remaining You While Raising Them.

Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open. Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

Lucas Rockwood wasn't always an international yoga and breathwork and yoga entrepreneur, author and leader doing Ted Talks, and speaking at Yoga Alliance, Meta, and Noom. Like many of us, pain ended up being the great persuader. Like me, and like some of the listeners here, he overused substances as a way to cope. In a way, they were his solution—until they no longer worked, and instead, turned on him.That's when Lucas Rockwood found yoga. He describes himself as a little lost, physically inflexible, but with a thirst for knowledge. He wanted to know everything about yoga and perhaps more importantly, about the one thing we all do every day that is integral to life—breath.But none of his yoga instructors at the time could really say much about breathing—other than that we should all be doing it, especially in yoga.Such began his lifelong pursuit of the mystery and magic and more importantly, the science of breath and the body. In this short-form interview, we cover a lot of ground: how simple breathing exercises can change our lives, decrease stress, improve sleep, and make us whole and healthy. Listen in as one of the world's leaders in yoga and breath—and entrepreneurship—got his start, why breathwork is so important to us all, and why and how we all can do this and lead happier, healthier lives.Find out more about Lucas Rockwood here:Founder / YOGABODY®Watch his TEDx on BreathingListen to His Podcast on iTunesHis Book: Yoga Business MasteryEmail lucas@yogabody.comYouTube 251K subscribersFind out more about Melissa and The Fully Mindful:Coaching with Melissa–Book a free, no-strings attached call to find out how embodied coaching and breathwork can help you uncover your worth, discover who and where you want to be, and catapult you into your purpose:Book a Free 20 Minute Call with Melissa

Mark speaks with Jennifer Moss, an award-winning writer, international speaker, and workplace culture strategist with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Her work has inspired leaders to take a look at how they create, model, and manage work-life balance for themselves and their employees. Her most recent book, The Burnout Epidemic, was named 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 and shortlisted for the 2021 Outstanding Works of Literature Award. Key Takeaways: Saying No for the Bigger Yes: It is essential to learn how to say no to things that are not in alignment with our values and goals. To be honest with ourselves and others by expressing our no from a place of clarity of what our bigger yes is. Invisible Pressure: When leaders/bosses email employees on off-work hours, it creates invisible pressure. Because so many companies have shifted to remote work, leaders need to be aware of this invisible pressure and model proper work-life balance. Also, recognizing that due to employee gender, race, sexual orientation, and other factors, by not having awareness regarding emails, meetings, and conversations, leaders can sometimes unconsciously create a culture of inequity. The Difference Between Technical and Adaptive problems: Leaders need to look at the difference between psychoemotional issues, the work culture they create, and mental health as separate from systematic issues. As a leader, you can understand that you are not a mental health professional. However, it is your responsibility to be the conduit for your employees so that they have the resources for mental health. This means putting systems in place for the adaptive problems and recognizing they are separate variables to be addressed. Are we Mating or Meeting: How the brain registers our interaction with others on zoom or other online meeting platforms is important to recognize. Because we are not seeing the whole person and are able to gauge the eyes, our brain is registering the interaction from an animal instinct of mating or fighting. This is problematic in ways that create defensive and aggressive behaviors that would not happen if you were meeting in person with your people.

So, over on our substack, LIVING HAPPY, I've been talking a lot about creating our own realities in relation to success and meaning. This is really just sort of diving deep to realize that maybe your perspective isn't the one you want. When you attain your goals, do they satisfy you? That's really the question. Listen to us talk about this, losing your junk (and word choice) and finding success your own way.

This podcast is about a butt ton of Coors Light on a Florida highway and flow states. A few years ago, we talked about FLOW on our podcast and then I just did again over on our LIVING HAPPY newsletter, but I thought it would be pretty cool to talk about it for another hot second because more people are talking about it now. We're trendsetters, baby. DOG TIP FOR LIFE: To get that flow state, stay focused, persistent, give yourself time, minimize distractions and make it a tiny bit hard. It's like chasing a cat. You always think you might catch it, but it's not easy.

Are the world's most common illnesses caused by insulin resistance? In this episode, Dr Benjamin Bikman joins us to discuss his best-selling book “Why We Get Sick”. He argues that insulin resistance is at the heart of the world's most prevalent diseases and that poor economic incentives have caused scientists to neglect this phenomenon to pursue unproductive avenues of research. Dr Bikman explains how insulin resistance impacts conditions ranging from diabetes to Alzheimer's and offers practical advice for listeners looking to improve their health. He also shares his views on broader issues such as the health impact of seed oils and sun exposure.ReferencesDr Bikman on Twitter.Why We Get Sick on Amazon.Alan D.

Ep#117 Today's episode shines the light on a whole new way to understand compulsive overeating and that's through the lens of food addiction. Research suggests something more complex might be going on with some foods that we eat that affect the brain's reward system similarly to the way addictive drugs do. When addiction is the underlying cause of obesity, traditional treatment with diets that rely on personal responsibility, lifestyle changes or “willpower”can have minimal effects. Today's guest is a visionary and leader in the field of food addiction. She is Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D.Adjunct Associate Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester, and an expert in the psychology of eating. She is a best selling author with 3 books, “Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin, and Free”., "The Official Bright Line Eating Cookbook - Weight Loss Made Simple", and her newest book, "Rezoom: The Powerful Reframe to end the Crash-and-Burn Cycle of Food Addiction.”Susan is President of the Institute for Sustainable Weight Loss and CEO of Bright Line Eating Solutions (BLE), a company dedicated to helping people achieve long-term, sustainable weight loss by showing you how to rewire your brain and break the yo-yo diet cycle. BLE is geared towards those who are susceptible to addictive foods and have struggled to find peace and sanity around food. Grounded in psychology and neuroscience Susan's program uses cutting edge research to explain how modern processed foods impact the addiction centers of the brain. The complete opposite of the deprivation diet mindset, Bright Line Eating seeks to empower people for life, by creating a supportive community to heal the deeper emotional components that underlie addictive behaviors by integrating the tools of Positive Psychology and Internal Family Systems. But Bright Line Eating is more than just a way of eating—it's a movement. Their incredibly close-knit Online Support Community is the core of their program and provides the outreach and human connection essential to success. Thousands of people from more than 60 countries have participated in their information packed online courses, and their community is growing by tens of thousands each month.
