Podcasts about Make You Happy

In a refreshing twist on his usual message, Dennis explores the idea that it's not just happy people who do more good, but also that good people are more likely to be happy. This concept challenges the notion that happiness is a choice, and instead suggests that it's a byproduct of our actions and behavior towards others. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on happiness and goodness, this episode of Timeless Wisdom is a must-listen. Join Dennis as he explores the intersection of happiness and goodness, and discover how treating others well can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, comin’ to you straight from our beautiful little corner of North Georgia. Now, if you've listened to my podcasts or read my articles before, you know I'm usually talkin’ to you about things that scurry, buzz, or try to eat your home from the inside out—like those sneaky subterranean termites or attic-dwelling bats. But today, I want to talk about something else that's been dug deep into this red clay for a long, long time: the history of our very own hometown, Jasper, Georgia. You see, I've been in the pest control business around here for years, and one thing you learn when you're crawling around under old structures is that a town's history is a lot like a good foundation. If you don't understand what it's built on, you’re missing the whole story. So let’s take a little stroll down memory lane and look at how Jasper became “The First Mountain City.” The Early Days and Foundational Stones Long before any of us were here, this beautiful land at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains was home to the Cherokee Indians. They stewarded these hills and valleys until the tragic events of the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. Fast forward a bit to December of 1853, and the Georgia legislature decided to slice off pieces of Cherokee and Gilmer counties to create Pickens County. Now, the folks in charge needed a county seat, and they picked a spot right in the exact geographical center of the county. In 1857, that little spot was officially incorporated as the town of Jasper. We were named after a real-deal Revolutionary War hero, Sergeant William Jasper, who famously lost his life saving his regiment’s flag at the Siege of Savannah in 1779. A Little Fun Fact: Our county, Pickens, was also named after a Revolutionary War hero—General Andrew Pickens. So we've got patriotism baked right into our names! A Town Divided: The Civil War Era Now, here's a piece of history that a lot of folks don’t know, and it shows the independent streak of our mountain ancestors. When the Civil War rolled around in 1861, Pickens County was deeply divided. We didn’t have the big plantations or the slave economy of south Georgia; we were mostly independent mountain farmers. In fact, local leaders actually voted against secession. To show you just how stubborn and brave those mountain folks were, when Georgia decided to leave the Union, a group of local citizens raised the U.S. Stars and Stripes flag right in front of the county courthouse in Jasper. And get this—they guarded it day and night, keeping it flying for nearly a month after the state seceded! Throughout the war, Jasper was occupied by both Union and Confederate troops at different times, and it was a rough, rocky road for the citizens living here. The Two Booms: Rail and Marble After the war, Jasper grew pretty slowly. By 1880, the census recorded only 146 people living here! If you walked down the street back then, you’d see a log jail, a couple of churches, a brick courthouse, and a lot of log cabins. But then came 1883, and two massive things changed Jasper forever: The Marietta and North Georgia Railroad chugged into town. The Georgia Marble Company started booming over in nearby Tate. Suddenly, we weren’t just an isolated mountain village anymore. The railroad gave us a way to ship out the local timber, cotton, and most importantly, that world-famous Pickens County marble. The Capital of Pure Stone Our local marble isn’t just any old rock. It’s some of the purest, most beautiful stone in the world. If you've ever been to Washington, D.C., you've probably looked right at a piece of our home—Georgia marble from our county was used to build the Lincoln Memorial, parts of the U.S. Capitol, and more than half of the monuments up there! Locally, you can see it everywhere, from our historic 1949 courthouse to the famous Tate House built out of rare pink marble. [ THE JASPER TIME-LINE ] 1853 ── Pickens County formed out of Cherokee/Gilmer. 1857 ── Jasper officially incorporated as a town. 1861 ── Union flag flown at courthouse in defiance of secession. 1883 ── Railroad arrives; the marble industry explodes. 1920s── Expansion of Georgia Marble Co. keeps Jasper afloat. 1940 ── Amicalola EMC brings rural electricity to the hills. 1990s── GA 515 expansion connects Jasper to Atlanta. Keeping the Heritage Alive Through the Great Depression, the collapse of the cotton industry, and the turning of the centuries, Jasper held onto its small-town heart. We went from a tiny mountain outpost to a bustling city of over 4,000 residents today. We celebrate that rich history every single year during the first full weekend of October at the Georgia Marble Festival. If you've never been, you're missing out on great music, incredible stone carving, and some of the finest folks you'll ever meet. A Message From Your Local “Bug Man” You see, neighbors, knowing where we come from helps us appreciate what we've got today. Jasper has survived wars, economic crashes, and changed from a tiny railroad stop into the beautiful, thriving community we love. It’s a tough, resilient town. But you know what isn’t resilient? A house that's being eaten up by pests! While we're proud of our historic wood and marble buildings, those old-growth timbers are exactly what Eastern Subterranean Termites look at and think, “Mmm, buffet!” And with our high humidity and warm mountain summers, those critters are looking for a place to set up their own historic homestead right inside your crawlspace. Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! I've been protecting the homes and history of Jasper, Ellijay, and Blue Ridge for a long time. I don’t believe in cutting corners, because cutting corners just means the bugs come back—and that's not how I do business. My “Make You Happy” Personal Guarantee: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. And I'll keep treating it for FREE until you tell me you ARE happy. If that still doesn’t do it, I'll promptly and politely give YOU back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble… period. So, let’s keep Jasper beautiful, historic, and completely bug-free. If you hear something scratching in your walls or you're worried about termites invading your home’s foundation, give me a call today at 770-823-9202. Tell ’em you read my history article, and I'll even take $25.00 OFF your very first service! Until next time, neighbors, take care of your home, enjoy our beautiful mountain history, and let's keep those tails waggin’! — Fred Talley Owner/Operator, Faith Pest Control Jasper, GAThe post Jasper Georgia, The History of My HomeTown first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

 This episode is brought to you by WHOOP, Timeline and  Audible. Poet, speaker, and transformational coach Adam Roa breaks down the modern crisis of masculinity, emotional safety, conscious relationships, and the hidden ways people abandon themselves in pursuit of comfort, validation, and love. This conversation explores why so many men feel lost, angry, disconnected, and emotionally shut down, how unresolved wounds show up in relationships, and why healing doesn't happen in isolation — it happens through safe connection. Adam shares powerful insights on balancing masculine and feminine energy, the difference between fireworks and mature love, why creativity is a wellness practice, and how saying "yes" to small intuitive nudges ultimately transformed his life and career. From conscious communication to emotional resilience, purpose, relationships, creativity, and modern masculinity, this episode is a deep exploration into what it actually means to become fully embodied and move Ever Forward.

Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. If you've lived in Jasper for more than five minutes, you know there's one weekend where the rumble of engines is louder than the mountain wind. I'm talking about the Sheriff's JeepFest, and it's rolling back into town this September! This event is near and dear to my heart because it's about more than just mud and metal—it's about our community coming together to “Crawl for the Kids.” Rev Your Engines for a Great Cause Mark your calendars for September 3rd through September 6th, 2026. The home base is right here at 8795 Hwy 53 East in Jasper. If you haven't been before, you're in for a treat. Sheriff Donnie Craig and the Pickens Sheriff's Office put on a show that draws folks from all over the country. Here's what's happening: The Obstacle Course: Watching these Jeeps navigate the rocks and mud right at home base is a sight to behold. Trail Rides: Hundreds of Jeeps heading out into our beautiful North Georgia mountains to tackle the terrain. The “Caring for Children” Mission: Every bit of the proceeds goes to help kids in need through the Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Homes, Special Olympics, and the Boys and Girls Club. Spectators are FREE! You don’t need a Jeep to come out and enjoy the food vendors, the music, and the incredible atmosphere. It's a family-friendly weekend that truly shows the spirit of Jasper. Off-Roading is Fun—Until the Bugs Start Off-Roading in Your Attic Now, while those Jeeps are busy tackling the mud, there's another kind of “off-roading” happening closer to home. As we get into late summer and early fall, the pests in North Georgia start looking for a dry place to hunker down. I've seen ants trail up a foundation faster than a Jeep on a flat stretch, and spiders set up shop in your garage like they're the event organizers. And don’t even get me started on termites—those guys don’t need a trail map to find the wood in your home! Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! When you see a Jeep stuck in the mud, you call a winch. When you see a pest problem getting out of hand, you call me. I use pet-friendly, common-sense methods because I know your furry friends are part of the family—just like mine. My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee I'm a man of my word, and I stand behind my work. Here is my promise to you: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you're still not happy, I'll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period. So, head on out to Hwy 53 this September, cheer on the drivers, and help us support the kids. It's one of the things that makes Jasper the best place to live. But if you come home and realize your house has become a “fest” for roaches or ants, don’t you wait. Give us a call at 770-823-9202. Let’s keep the bugs out and the tails waggin’!

There's a version of Christianity that fits perfectly on a bumper sticker—short, catchy, and easy to repeat. Phrases like “God helps those who help themselves,” “Everything happens for a reason,” or “Follow your heart” sound spiritual… even comforting. But what if some of the ideas we've picked up—ideas we've repeated and believed—aren't actually found in Scripture? In this series, Bumper Sticker Theology, we're going to take a closer look at some of the most common Christian clichés and ask a simple question: Is it true… or does it just sound true?"

Why Success Doesn't Always Make You Happy | Ep. 65 by Divine Mercy Radio

Fresh Veggies, Friendly Faces, and Why You Don't Want “Pantry Pirates” By Fred Talley, Faith Pest Control Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. You know, there's nothing quite like a Saturday morning in Georgia. If you're looking to get out and enjoy the best of what our local area has to offer, you've got to head over to the Monticello Market on the Square. It's just a short drive over to the heart of Jasper County, and let me tell you, it's the perfect way to kick off a summer weekend. Supporting Local at the Historic Monticello Square Starting May 9th and running every Saturday through August 29th, 2026 (except for the 4th of July), the Square comes alive from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. If you appreciate hard work and homegrown quality—the same way I do in my business—you're going to love this market. Here's what you'll find: The Freshest Produce: We're talking vine-ripened tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, and watermelons that taste like actual sunshine. Handmade Treasures: Local artisans bring out everything from handcrafted jewelry to woodworking. It's the perfect place to find a gift that didn’t come off a big-box store shelf. Homemade Goodies: You haven't lived until you've tried some of the local jams, jellies, and old-fashioned pies. Community Spirit: It's a place where neighbors actually talk to each other. You might even see me there grabbing a basket of peaches! Don’t Let the “Bugs” Follow Your Groceries Home Now, I love a good farmers’ market as much as anyone, but here's a tip from your local bug man: all that fresh produce and sweet fruit can be a magnet for some “uninvited guests.” When the humidity kicks up in June and July, Fruit Flies, Ants, and Pantry Beetles are on the lookout for a free meal. Nothing ruins a beautiful kitchen display of fresh peaches like a swarm of tiny flies or a line of ants deciding they live there now. Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! Whether it's those pesky kitchen invaders or the bigger threats like Termites and Spiders hiding in the corners of your home, I've got you covered. I use common-sense, pet-friendly methods because I know your home is your sanctuary (and your dogs shouldn’t have to worry about the bug man!). My “Make You Happy” Personal Guarantee I don't just talk a big game; I back it up. If you're tired of seeing things crawl where they shouldn’t, here is my promise: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you're still not happy, I'll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period. So, go enjoy the sunshine on the Monticello Square, fill your bags with goodness, and support our local farmers. But if you get home and realize the bugs are trying to share your snacks, you give me a ring. Give us a call at 770-823-9202. Let’s keep those pests out and the tails waggin’! Happy snacking, neighbors, Fred Talley, Owner/Operator Faith Pest Control, Jasper, GA 770-823-9202 PS. Bring me a tomato and I might tell you an extra joke—but even if you don’t, tell me you saw this notice for $25.00 OFF your first service!The post Fresh Veggies, Friendly Faces, and Why You Don't Want “Pantry Pirates first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Howdy again, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. You know, living here in Jasper, we're lucky to be just a stone's throw away from some of the best mountain traditions in the world. If you're looking for a reason to pack up the family and head a little further north this August, I've got just the ticket for you. It's time for the 76th Annual Georgia Mountain Fair up in Hiawassee! A Mountain Tradition Like No Other From August 14th through August 22nd, 2026, the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds will be buzzing with excitement. It's about an hour and fifteen minutes from us here in Jasper, and let me tell you, it is well worth the drive. Here's what's cooking at the fair this year: The Music: Anderson Music Hall is going to be rocking! They've got Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone on the 14th, the legendary Vince Gill on the 15th and 16th, and Casting Crowns closing things out on the 26th. The Pioneer Village: This is one of my favorite parts. It's like stepping back in time to see how our mountain ancestors lived—complete with moonshine making, cider squeezing, and blacksmithing demonstrations. The Carnival Midway: If you've got kids (or you're just a kid at heart), the rides open a day early on August 13th. Puppy Pals Live: As a man who loves a happy dog (you know my slogan—Keepin' the Tail Waggin'), I'm excited about this America's Got Talent act featuring rescued pups performing stunts. Don’t Bring the “Fair” Back Home With You Now, speaking of “mountain traditions,” there's one we'd all like to do without: summer pests. While you're out enjoying the funnel cakes and the fresh mountain air, those North Georgia ants, roaches, and termites are looking for their own fairground—and they usually pick your crawlspace or your kitchen pantry. This time of year, with the humidity high, things like Subterranean Termites are more active than ever, and Stink Bugs are just waiting for a chance to move in. Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! I've been in this business for years, and I'm not just a Georgia State Certified Pest Control Operator; I'm a neighbor who cares about your home. Whether you’re in Jasper, Blue Ridge, or Ellijay, I treat your house like it's my own. My “Make You Happy” Personal Guarantee I don't believe in cutting corners, because cutting corners leads to bugs coming back. That's why I offer the best guarantee in the business: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you're still not happy, I'll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period. So, go on up to Hiawassee, ride the Tilt-A-Whirl, and eat your fill of fair food. But if you come home and find that the ants have started their own “Pioneer Village” in your cabinets, you give me a call. Call me at 770-823-9202. Let’s get those bugs out so we can keep those tails waggin’! See you at the fair, Fred Talley, Owner/Operator Faith Pest Control, Jasper, GA 770-823-9202 PS.

This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Tanya Bush, author of Will This Make You Happy, to talk about baking as a way of moving through a year — emotionally, creatively, and practically. We discuss what it means to write from inside your own life, how recipes can hold both structure and feeling, and how Tanya expands the cookbook form through narrative, gently pushing against its traditional boundaries. We talk about what it means to break the mold without losing usefulness, and why baking often becomes a way to ask questions rather than answer them. The conversation moves between storytelling, routine, and the quiet search for meaning in everyday acts of making.Mentioned in this episode:Will This Make You Happy: Stories and Recipes from a Year of Baking by Tanya Bush“Party Girl” (1995) TrailerBrooks Headley's Fancy Desserts: The Recipes of Del Posto's James Beard Award–Winning Pastry Chef by Brooks HeadleyCooking As Though You Might Cook Again by Daniel LichtRuby TandohChloe Rose Crabtree, Bake Street LondonOliver Lee Costello, Toad BakeryHome Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen: A Memoir and Cookbook by Laurie Colwin

What if gardening doesn't make you happy? Gardening isn't always the simple "cure-all" it's often made out to be. We get into the realities behind the wellbeing narrative — from overwhelm and pressure to the deeper emotional connections we form with our outdoor spaces.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Neighbors! A Royal Reminder from Your Local Bug Man By Fred Talley, Faith Pest Control Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of North Georgia. If you're like me, you're already looking forward to those long summer days and the community spirit that makes Jasper such a special place to call home. I'm writing to you today because there's a mighty big event coming to town that you won't want to miss. It's time to dust off your tunics and polish your armor, because the Ga. Mt. Charity Camelot-Fest is returning to Jasper this June! A Weekend of Medieval Magic in Our Own Backyard Mark your calendars for June 20 and 21, 2026. The festival will be held right here at the Chattahoochee Tech Conference Center (100 Campus Dr.). This isn’t just your average weekend outing; it's a full-blown trip back to the days of King Arthur. We're talking about: Live Knights and Performers: You'll see roaming bards, stage acts, and maybe even a wizard or two wandering through the crowd. The Artisan Market: Plenty of handcrafted treasures and traditional festival food (yes, you can feast like royalty!). Games for the Littles: From archery-style games to knightly quests, there's plenty to keep the kids entertained. A Great Cause: The best part? All the proceeds go directly to support our local Public Library. Cosplay is highly encouraged, so don't be shy about dressing up as a knight, a noble, or even a forest fairy. It's all in good fun for a great community cause. Don't Let Uninvited Guests Ruin Your Summer Feast Now, while we're all excited about the knights and the fair ladies coming to Jasper, there are some other “guests” trying to make their way into our homes this summer that aren’t nearly as welcome. I'm talking about those nasty North Georgia spiders, ants, and termites that think your kitchen is their personal banquet hall. Listen… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! Nothing spoils a summer evening like finding a black ribbon of ants marching across your counter or hearing that “scritch-scritch-scritch” in the walls. Termite and pest control is serious business—it involves protecting your home, your family, and your four-legged friends. At Faith Pest Control, we don't just “spray and pray.” We use common-sense, pet-friendly methods to put the treatment where the bugs live and your pets don't. My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee I am so confident in my expertise that I'm willing to place MY NAME and MY MONEY on the line. If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. If you're still not happy, I'll give you back every penny of your money, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period. So, go enjoy the Camelot-Fest and support our library! Just remember, if you come home and find that the only “dragons” in your house are the roaches under the fridge, don’t you hesitate to give me a ring. Give us a call at 770-823-9202. Let’s keep the pests out and the tails waggin’!

In this episode of Beyond Retirement, Jacquie Doucette talks with Henry Quinlan—founder of Omni Publishing Company and a senior achiever at the MIT Age Lab—about what happens after the “retirement glow” wears off.

On this episode of Save The Date Reacts, Jamie and Heath get into one of the biggest issues in modern dating: people are often dating from panic, projection, and performance instead of clarity. The conversation starts with scarcity mindset and the pressure people feel to chase one narrow idea of what love is supposed to look like. From there, the episode moves into how optionality can make people treat dating like a numbers game, why real value in a partner goes deeper than looks, and why alignment matters more than entertainment. The episode closes with a deeper conversation about happiness, self-work, and the unrealistic expectations people place on love. This is a grounded, thoughtful discussion about modern dating, relationship standards, compatibility, and the truth that while love can support your joy, it cannot become the source of it for you. Clips discussed in this episode: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWwQLsZDkHk/?igsh=d211dzhsMW56MHo1 https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWpIKqFD8Y-/ https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWHwebRjkrD/ https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWsx8oVjTQU/ Join the conversation: Are people dating from abundance or anxiety? Has the numbers game made dating more shallow? Do people really know how to recognize value anymore? Can love support happiness without being responsible for creating it?

Despite rising IQ scores, people aren't any happier, and entrepreneurs know that being smart alone doesn't guarantee a great life. In this conversation, Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff explore why IQ tests only measure a narrow slice of intelligence, why entrepreneurs thrive on poorly defined problems, and how happiness comes from agency, progress, and meaningful relationships. Show Notes: IQ scores have climbed steadily over the past few decades, yet, by almost every measure, people today are no happier than earlier generations. IQ tests only measure your ability to solve well‑defined problems with clear rules and right answers, which is a very narrow slice of real‑world intelligence. Entrepreneurs win by spotting patterns, connecting ideas, and being comfortable thinking in abstractions, not by memorizing information for standardized tests. Happiness is much more closely linked to a strong sense of personal agency than to any score you could get on an exam. Entrepreneurial foresight—the ability to see what people will want next and act on it—is a unique advantage that can't be measured by IQ tests. Most of life and business operates in gray areas with no agreed‑upon solutions, making comfort with ambiguity a core entrepreneurial capability. The education system largely trains people to “win the test,” not to think creatively, make bets, or handle uncertainty the way entrepreneurs must. Revenue milestones and big wins won't automatically make you happier if you're still chasing an ever‑moving ideal in your head. Measuring your progress backward from where you started, instead of against an unreachable ideal, creates daily happiness and sustainable motivation. Resources: Casting Not Hiring by Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy Learn more about Jeffrey MadoffDan Sullivan and Strategic Coach®

In this episode, we sit down with psychiatrist and author Anna Yusim to explore the intersection of science and spirituality. Together, they dive into intuition, synchronicity, and the deeper reasons behind anxiety, emptiness, and overachievement—especially in high performers who seem to “have it all” yet still feel unfulfilled.Dr. Yusim shares how her journey from traditional psychiatry into spiritual exploration transformed both her life and her clinical work. They unpack why external success often fails to bring lasting happiness, how unresolved patterns live in the body, and how true fulfillment comes from reconnecting with your inner self. This conversation bridges neuroscience, psychology, and ancient wisdom—offering a grounded yet expansive perspective on what it really means to live a meaningful life.Key Takeaways:Fulfillment isn't achieved externally—it's cultivated through inner work and self-awareness.High achievers often chase success to fill an internal void, but it can deepen emptiness.Intuition and synchronicity are real phenomena that can be developed and understood.Healing requires a holistic approach: mind, body, and spirit—not just talk therapy or medication.Relationships are powerful mirrors for growth, not just sources of happiness.Dr. Anna Yusim Bio:Dr. Anna Yusim is a board-certified psychiatrist, executive coach, and bestselling author of Fulfilled. Educated at Stanford and Yale, she serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Yale Medical School and co-founded the Yale Mental Health & Spirituality Program.She works with high-performing individuals—including CEOs, athletes, and public figures—helping them align success with purpose and well-being. Blending neuroscience, psychiatry, and spiritual practices, Dr. Yusim is a leader in integrative mental health and holds key roles across innovative mental health and longevity organizations.Where to find Dr. Anna Yusim:Website: https://annayusim.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annayusim/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPr81yb93MSA1k4EgITEcwgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/annayusimmdFulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life: https://annayusim.com/book/

If you've achieved things you once thought would make you happy—but still find yourself feeling restless, uncertain, or asking "what's next?"—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking one of the most important truths about fulfillment: that success itself doesn't create happiness—the experience of growth and contribution does. We'll explore why your Inner Critic keeps you chasing arrival points that never fully satisfy, how your brain normalizes success faster than you expect, and why the in-between space—where you can't yet see what's next—is actually where your next level is being formed. ✨ Tune in to learn how to reconnect with the energy of progress, embrace uncertainty without making it mean something has gone wrong, and start living from your Authentic Self—the part of you that finds joy in becoming, not just achieving.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where in your life are you waiting for arrival instead of allowing yourself to experience the joy of becoming? Are you currently prioritizing comfort and certainty over growth and contribution—and how is that shaping how your life feels? What would change if you trusted that the "in-between" you're in isn't a problem, but the place where your next level is forming?

Does having kids actually make you happier, or is it one of the biggest myths out there? The team dives into the research that claims parents might be less happy day-to-day, from sleepless nights to unexpected joy, we unpack what people wish they knew before becoming parents and whether the chaos is really worth it. You might think you know what your favourite emojis mean, but apparently a lot of us have been using them completely wrong. Earlier this week we heard the bizarre story about thousands of Kit Kats being stolen from a truck? There’s a huge new update.

A study published in the journal of Evolutionary Psychology has found that becoming a parent provides no significant increase in positive emotions and found hardly any difference in reported happiness levels or life satisfaction between parents and non–parents.Joining Ciara to discuss this is Richard Hogan, Family Therapist & author and Journalist Andrea Smith.

On Today's Show Dennis explores the crucial question: can others make you happy? He shares his three-pronged approach, emphasizing that only you can make yourself happy, others can make you unhappy, and if you're already happy, others can increase your happiness. Through engaging conversations with callers, including a blind caller from Baltimore and a psychotherapist from Denver, Dennis delves into the complexities of happiness and its relationship with goodness, ethics, and pain. This thought-provoking discussion will leave you pondering the true sources of happiness and the role of others in our lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keepin' the Tail Waggin': How We Do Pet-Friendly Pest Control in Jasper Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of North Georgia. If you're like me, your four-legged friends aren’t just “animals”—they're family. Whether it's a loyal lab curled up by the fireplace or a curious tabby prowling the porch, the last thing any of us wants is to put them in harm’s way while tryin’ to get rid of uninvited guests like roaches, ants, or those nasty North Georgia spiders. Folks ask me all the time: “Fred, can I really keep my home bug-free without worryin’ about my dog or cat?” The answer is a big, North Georgia YES. But it takes a little bit of “faith” in the right process and a whole lot of common sense. Here's what makes a pest control service truly pet-friendly. It Starts with “IPM” (That's Expert Talk for Common Sense) At Faith Pest Control, we don't just “spray and pray.” We use what's called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). It's a fancy term, but here's what it means for your pets: Targeted Treatment: Instead of soaking your whole baseboard in chemicals, we look for the source. We put the treatment where the bugs live and the pets don’t—like deep in cracks, crevices, and behind appliances. Bait Stations: If we use baits for ants or roaches, we use tamper-resistant stations. These are little “lockboxes” that keep the good guys (your pets) out and the bad guys (the bugs) in. Exclusion First: Sometimes the best pest control isn’t a spray at all; it's a tube of caulk! By sealing up those gaps around your foundation or utility pipes, we keep the bugs out so we don’t have to use as much product inside. The “Dry Rule” One of the most important things to remember is the drying window. Most of the professional products we use today are specifically designed to be safe for pets once they have completely dried. Fred's Pro Tip: I always tell my neighbors to keep their pets in a “safe room” or out for a walk while I'm workin'. Once that product is dry—usually about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the humidity—it's perfectly fine for them to go back to their favorite nap spot. Knowing Your “Exotic” Neighbors Now, I know not everyone just has cats and dogs. We've got folks in Jasper with birds, fish, and even the occasional reptile. These little critters can be more sensitive. Fish Tanks: If we're doin' an indoor treatment, we always ask you to cover the tank with a towel and turn off the air pump for a little bit to keep the water pure. Birds: Their lungs are delicate! If we’re doin’ any kind of heavy-duty work, it's best to move the cage to a part of the house we aren’t touchin’. My Personal “Make You Happy” Guarantee Termite and pest control is serious business. It involves chemicals, and I'll never tell you otherwise. But when you hire someone who treats you like a neighbor—not a number—you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job is done right. I'm a Georgia State Certified Pest Control Operator, and I've spent years learnin’ exactly how these products interact with our environment. My promise to you is simple: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and you aren't 100% HAPPY within 30 days, I'll come back and retreat for FREE until you are. So, don’t let the bugs run your house, and don’t let “worry” keep you from callin’ the pros. We'll keep the pests out and the tails waggin’. Give us a ring right here in Jasper, and let's bring some peace back to your home!The post Keepin' the Tail Waggin': How We Do Pet-Friendly Pest Control in Jasper first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Welcome to Potential to Powerhouse: Success Secrets from Female Leaders, where host Tracy Holland dives into transformative conversations with visionary thinkers, entrepreneurs, and experts redefining success. In this deeply moving episode, Tracy sits down with Dr. Srikumar Rao, founder of the Rao Institute and one of the world's most respected executive coaches. Dr. Rao works with highly successful entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who have already reached the top — yet still feel something is missing. Why? Because achievement alone does not create fulfillment. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Rao shares why so many high achievers feel empty after reaching their goals and explains the deeper purpose behind human existence. Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions and modern leadership principles, he explores how entrepreneurs can shift from ego-driven success to lasting peace, purpose, and joy. If you've ever wondered "Is this all there is?", this conversation may change the way you see your life, your work, and the universe itself. Episode Highlights Why success doesn't always lead to fulfillment The real purpose of life The illusion of the "doer" mindset Why we chase goals that don't truly satisfy us How to quiet the mind and escape the cycle of anxiety The concept of the "friendly universe" A simple practice to transform your mindset Key Takeaways Many entrepreneurs believe that once they achieve success, happiness will follow. But as Dr. Srikumar Rao explains, success often reveals a deeper truth: fulfillment doesn't come from accomplishments but from awareness. By shifting perspective, letting go of ego, and recognizing the deeper nature of our existence, we can move from striving and anxiety toward peace, joy, and a sense of purpose that is not dependent on external success.

What If Everything You've Achieved Still Isn't Enough to Make You Happy? Today's conversation with Mike Posner is one of the deepest and most powerful discussions I've ever had on this show. You probably know Mike from his massive hits like Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza. But the man sitting across from me today isn't just a Grammy nominated artist. He's climbed Mount Everest, walked more than 2,900 miles across America, survived a rattlesnake bite, and gone through a profound spiritual and emotional transformation that completely changed his life. Mike shared something that stopped me in my tracks early in this conversation. He said that despite all the success, the money, the recognition, and the adventure, his greatest achievement wasn't any of those things. It was changing his emotional set point from depression and negativity to joy, faith, and love. That shift didn't happen because of fame or accomplishments. It happened when he finally stopped lying to himself about the fears and stories that were running his life. We talked about something so many people struggle with but rarely admit. The pursuit of recognition and significance. Mike was honest about how much of his early career was fueled by the desire to be liked and validated by others. And if we're honest, most of us do the same thing in our own lives. What makes this conversation so powerful is how Mike explains the transformation from chasing significance to living a life of service, contribution, and authentic connection. One of the most powerful moments came when Mike shared the four questions that helped him turn his life around. Questions that forced him to stop drifting and start living intentionally. Questions like “Do you actually want to live?” and “What do you truly want?” These questions sound simple, but they have the power to completely change the direction of your life if you answer them honestly. What I love about Mike's story is that he's proof that external success does not guarantee internal peace. But he's also proof that you can change your internal state, rewrite the story you're telling yourself, and build a life that is rich both internally and externally. This conversation is about awakening. It's about purpose. And it's about learning how to live a life that truly feels worth living. Key Takeaways • Why changing your emotional set point may be the most important achievement of your life • The dangerous trap of chasing recognition and significance instead of real love • How the stories you tell yourself quietly shape your entire reality • The four life changing questions that can help you rediscover purpose and direction • Why success without inner fulfillment still leaves you feeling empty • How shifting from seeking validation to serving others transforms your life

Everyone in a family has a job. As parents, it's our job to hold boundaries with our kids. It's also our job to validate their feelings. And boy do they have feelings when we say no.

How important are relationships and the feeling of being loved to human happiness? How have the fields of happiness studies and relationship studies converged?  Sonja Lyubomirsky is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside. She is also the author or co-author of the books How to Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most, The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want, and The Myths of Happiness: What Should Make You Happy, but Doesn't, What Shouldn't Make You Happy, but Does. Greg and Sonja discuss her shift from happiness research to her co-authored book with Harry Reis, How to Feel Loved. Sonja explains that many happiness interventions (gratitude letters, kindness practices, and variations like texting gratitude vs. social media posting vs. private writing) work largely because they increase feelings of love and connection They also discuss why listening is difficult, with Sonja sharing her experience in a Tel Aviv listening workshop, and the need for compassion and a growth mindset. Other themes include the Michelangelo effect (helping others become who they aspire to be), balancing sharing and listening (avoiding monologues or interrogations), appropriate vulnerability and gradual self-disclosure, and the “multiplicity” mindset of seeing people as complex quilts of good and bad traits to reduce harsh judgment.  The episode also considers whether people can feel loved without being loved, including AI companions that can mimic excellent listening but lack a genuine open heart, and the risk that some people may substitute simulated relationships for real ones.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: What's the distinction between being loved and feeling loved? 07:42: A lot of us are loved, but we do not feel loved. So we might have, we might know that our partner loves us or child, or a family member or friend or colleague. But we do not really feel loved. And when you think about it, feeling loved is what really matters even more, right? Because if, you know, if you love me, but I do not feel loved by you, it is almost like you do not love me, right? Like, because I am not really sensing that, and so feeling loved is really important. That is what really matters to happiness. The key to feeling loved is really to be known and to know the other 10:16: The key to feeling loved is really to be known and to know the other, and we get known by taking the wall down a little bit. And I get to know you if I help you take your wall down. How do I help you take your wall down? By showing curiosity. Then hopefully you will start to open up a little bit. I show even more curiosity. I ask you questions and I l truly listen, not really just try to fix it or help you or tell my own story. I just listen to learn. The first step to feel more loved 09:11: If I want to feel more loved, the first step, which may sound counterintuitive, is to help the other person feel loved first. You go first. I go first. The first step is to show genuine curiosity in the other person, in their inner life and the details of their day, their dreams, goals, values, fears. We all want that. We want to be seen, we want to be heard, and we do not get genuine curiosity very often. When was the last time you remember telling a story about yourself and the other person was so curious they could not wait for you to finish the sentence? It is rare. When it happens, it is priceless. That is such a gift to someone, to show authentic curiosity in them. It has to be authentic because you cannot fake it. That is the first step. You help the person be seen by showing curiosity in them, and that helps them open up more. Real connection requires both listening and sharing 18:48: If you only share, it is a monologue. You are spouting off. If you only listen, then it is an interview. It is an interrogation sometimes. You really need to do both. They go together. That is where the emotional intelligence comes in. Because when you are sharing, the entire time you are sharing, and we all know people who do not do this, they go off and they seem to not see any cues that the other person is not interested in continuing the story.

Do I Make You Happy - De-Va'Je by De-Va'Je

Patrick Bet-David and Rhonda Patrick discuss overcoming a negative upbringing, the psychology of affirmation, purpose vs money, mortality reflection, faith, and the science of happiness. They explore how mindset, relationships, and meaning shape long-term fulfillment and health.

Send a text“Find a dog that's going to make you happy.” I sit down with Denise Fenzi to talk about choosing the right dog for your real life — not the one you think you should want. We talk about fit, expectations, training, and working with the dog in front of you.https://www.empathetic-trainer.com/

This is the final episode in this series. After “It's Not My Job to Make You Happy” and “We Don't Need Each Other,” this conversation lands on a hard but honest truth: we will let each other down. This episode isn't about blame or perfection—it's about vulnerability, marriage, and the realities we don't always say out loud. These conversations are shared with the hope that honesty might help someone else feel less alone. Please be mindful in the comments. If something resonates with you, we'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Love you guys!

Author and therapist Niro Feliciano joins Sissy and David to talk about her new book, All Is Calm-ish, and how we can find contentment and calm in the middle of a busy, often overwhelming holiday season. She shares simple, doable practices—like five minutes of stillness, tiny wellness habits, and choosing connection over perfection—and opens up about writing the book during a heavy season in her own family, walking with her daughter through significant anxiety.  Together they discuss navigating grief, rethinking traditions, setting kind boundaries, and the beautiful overlap between faith and psychology, offering a hopeful, grounding guide for anyone longing for a little more peace—and a little more “calm-ish”—this Christmas.
