In this episode, Kamini Wood explores the powerful and often misinterpreted silence in relationships that emerges during conflict, which is distinct from peaceful quiet. She explains that withdrawal is rarely about punishment; instead, it's often a survival mechanism or a shield rooted in old attachment wounds or feelings of shame that whisper, "You're not good enough." Kamini highlights the dangerous mismatch: one partner's silence (a form of protection) is received by the other as rejection or abandonment, eroding emotional safety. The episode provides crucial awareness for the "silent partner," validating their past use of silence as a protector, while offering small, actionable steps—like stating "I need to pause, but I want to talk about this later"—to break the pattern and start building a safer, more connected way of engaging in difficult conversations.
Gratitude journals. Green juices. Meditation apps. We've been taught happiness is a checklist, but what if that's only half the story?In this episode, we dive into the world of Positive Psychology and the concept of flourishing– living deeply, not just lightly. We explore the PERMA‑H model (Positive Emotion • Engagement • Relationships • Meaning • Accomplishment • Health) and what it really means to feel alive even when life isn't easy. If you've done all the “right” self‑care things and still feel off… you're not failing. You're human. And this episode is your gentle invitation to stop chasing happiness and start tending what matters. What You'll Discover:Why happiness as a finish line keeps us stuckHow the PERMA‑H model gives us a fuller picture of wellbeingHow cultural expectations twist engagement, achievement, health & moreA simple journaling exercise to map where you're full and where you need spaceWhy flourishing is rhythmic – not balanced or perfect “Flourishing is the whole spectrum – light and dark, joy and grief, purpose and pause. And learning to hold all of it – that's what it really means to be alive.”

When the world feels heavy, choosing joy can sound naïve. We think it's the most practical move you can make. In this heartfelt episode, we share how a brutal “year of authenticity” led to a bold decision to claim a “year of joy,” and why that choice reshaped daily life. You'll hear a reading from Small Pearl's Big Wisdom titled We Will Have Joy, then we unpack how gratitude and delight fade without tending, and how to bring them back through simple, repeatable practices.We explore joy as medicine for the soul: the counterweight that steadies your nervous system and expands your perspective during hard seasons. From dance rehearsals that dissolve stress in minutes to tiny present-moment miracles like a dog napping belly-up, we show how nothing outside needs to change for your inner state to shift. Joy doesn't erase facts; it equips you to meet them with more compassion, creativity, and clarity. You'll learn how to set morning intentions, close your day with a quick “what was joyful” check, and use movement, nature, and mindful naming to anchor goodness in real time.This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched thin yet wants a grounded way back to aliveness. We make the case that joy is not a reward for finishing the hard work; it's the fuel that makes the hard work possible. Walk away with practical tools to cultivate joy now, not “someday,” and a gentle nudge to claim even a few drops on the toughest days. If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs light today, and leave a review to help more hearts find their way here.Tune in next week for a new episode to support and empower your light--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

In this episode, Kamini Wood dives into the dark reality of narcissistic manipulation, detailing how manipulators subtly twist facts and events to make victims doubt their own memory, feelings, and sanity. She explains that this is a form of gaslighting and a psychological warfare that targets a person's core identity, leading to nervousness, agitation, and a profound loss of self-trust because humans are wired for connection and trust. Kamini emphasizes that feeling confused or doubting yourself is not a sign of failure but a normal reaction to intentional distortion, and she provides crucial steps for healing, including journaling to anchor reality, seeking validation from trusted support, setting firm boundaries, and gently rebuilding the muscle of self-trust to move from a state of survival to one of being rooted in your own truth.

A simple thought landed this morning: If you choose to do something, do it with love. That thought (as these things often do) led to a whole host of other thoughts. Amongst them:How the act of choosing relates to our sense of dignity, safety and belongingThe difference between duty, responsibility and our conditioned ways of responding to the worldHow beautiful boundaries help us act without resentment or feelings of guiltAnd how we can come to the same outer actions but with an entirely different inner experience.As ever, I'd love to hear your reflections. And if you're curious about Understanding Boundaries, this free, transformative course will help you feel into what they mean for you, how to create them - and how to hold them.With love*****Would you love to find A piece of quiet?Every Wednesday, take 20-minutes to pause with this calming reflective audio practice.

In this episode, Kamini Wood challenges the societal myth that happiness is a permanent destination, explaining that it is a fleeting emotional state, much like sadness or fear, subject to the hedonic treadmill. She argues that chasing constant happiness leads to disappointment and offers a more sustainable goal: contentment and meaning. Contentment, she explains, is about being at peace and grounded regardless of life's circumstances, while meaning is about living in alignment with one's core values. Drawing on positive psychology research, Kamini highlights that focusing on meaning builds resilience and fulfillment, even through challenges, and encourages listeners to cultivate a meaningful life through gratitude, mindful presence, and values-based living instead of pursuing a constant high.

A lost recording, now found.What wanted to be shared arrived - and I'm so glad it did."When the student is ready, the master appears..."Today I'm in conversation with Janet Ettele: musician, author and student of Buddhist teachings. We explore joyous effort - not striving, but the enlivening energy that arises when we understand the value of what we're doing. We touch the thin places of life, the courage to continue, the practice of rest, and Janet's beautiful line: who are we being in our doing?Janet's newest book, How Joyous Effort Works, draws on the eighth-century teachings of Shantideva (The Bodhisattva's Way of Life), translated into contemporary stories you can feel in your bones. We talk about mindfulness as awareness paired with accurate understanding, the freedom of non-clinging, and how wisdom becomes embodied - head, heart, hara - through reflection and practice.May this meet you where you are and offer leather soles for the path ahead.We touch on:The Bodhisattva intention and the six perfections (generosity, ethics, patience, joyous effort, concentration, wisdom)Joyous effort as aligned energy - including the permission to rest“Who we are being in our doing” as a compass for daily lifeMindfulness as awareness with accurate understandingNon-clinging vs devotion; impermanence and interdependence in practiceBringing ancient teachings into modern heart-level storiesWith loveConnect with Janet, her beautiful writings and these wise teachings: https://janetettele.com/ *****Would you love to find A piece of quiet?Every Wednesday, take 20-minutes to pause with this calming reflective audio practice.

In this episode, I chat with Praxie Osong, a Cosmic Psychology Practitioner who uses astrology as a radical self-reflection tool. Praxie specializes in blending Astrology and Positive Psychology to challenge the status quo.We get into the messy, glorious, and exhausting reality of being a late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult. We talk about perfectionism and how it's one of the hardest masks to drop. "We're just a bunch of coping mechanisms in a trench coat by the time we hit 30." - Caitlin FisherIt's all about trying to figure out "what's me and what is something that I created so that I could get through".Praxie walks us through her journey of realizing her special interest was astrology and how she now uses her company, Divergent by Design, to help people move past shame and step into their authentic, non-conforming selves. This episode is a firm, two-middle-fingers-up rejection of the capitalist, individualistic mindset that pushes us to assimilate. Consider it your permission slip to yeet the meh of "normal," let your freak flag fly!“We all have strengths in different places, because we were all meant to have different roles in a functioning community, but we're so enmeshed in this individualistic mindset, this capitalist mindset, this get-ahead mindset that we've gotten to work with people around us and work with their strengths, and it's created this atmosphere that leaves out neurodivergent people. I'm all about the fact that you came into this world intentionally whole." - Praxie OsongYou'll totally learn:Why perfectionism is such a major boss fight for neurodivergent advocates and creativesThe concept of Scrupulosity OCD (compulsion to be morally perfect) and how it shows up in daily lifeHow Praxie realized her deep dive into astrology was actually her special interest, and how it helped her figure out her unmasked self post-diagnosisWhy the phrase "Everyone has a little bit of [ADHD/Autism]" is deeply harmful and prevents people from getting the serious help they needOur shared philosophy: you don't have to reflect on yourself just because someone didn't like your conversation—it's okay if they think you're a weirdoThe power of being a "whimsy person" and finding work that celebrates your neurodivergence instead of demanding conformity

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this week's episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, I'm joined by a true spiritual sister — Ester Nicholson, coach, teacher, and author of Soul Recovery: The 12 Keys to Healing Dependence. From the moment we met, I knew our paths were divinely aligned. We both use the language of Soul Recovery to describe the journey of returning to our authentic selves — the place of peace, power, and divine wholeness that lives within us all.In this heartfelt and deeply inspiring conversation, Ester shares her powerful story of transformation — from addiction and trauma to awakening and spiritual purpose. With honesty and grace, she reminds us that recovery isn't just about overcoming substances or behaviors — it's about healing the deeper wounds that separate us from our soul. Together, we explore how compassion, surrender, and spiritual practice can free us from the illusion of brokenness and guide us back to the light of who we really are.Ester also shares her 21-Day Journey to the Authentic Self — a beautifully designed self-paced program that includes 21 days of teachings, meditations, and somatic healing practices to help you reconnect with your true essence. It's a wonderful complement to the Soul Recovery process and an invitation to step more fully into your wholeness.

What if the path through grief could also be the path to flourishing? In this episode, Casey sits down with Dr. Nicole Andreatta—psychologist, positive psychology expert, and fellow member of what they lovingly call "the dead parents club." Their conversation begins where many of the deepest connections do: in shared loss. But what unfolds is far from what you might expect from a conversation about grief. Dr. A brings decades of research and personal experience to illuminate how we can honor our pain while still reaching toward joy, meaning, and authentic living. This isn't about bypassing the hard stuff or slapping on a gratitude practice when life feels impossible. It's about understanding the science of human flourishing—and discovering that your greatest strengths might be the very things that feel most effortless to you. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore: Positive Psychology 101: What it really is – and why it's not just "think positive." Healing vs. living fully: Why symptom reduction doesn't equal happiness, and how meaning is found in the process, not just the destination. The power of signature strengths: How to identify and lean on your natural gifts, especially in times of struggle. The messy middle: How to notice the "sips of aliveness" – from a morning coffee to an honest conversation – even when grief feels heavy. Unexpected gifts from pain: How loss can become a portal to deeper love, connection, and authenticity. This episode is wise, grounding, and full of practical ways to remember that you are wired to flourish – even in the hardest of times. If you're at a crossroads, give yourself permission to pause. To listen. To feel. To remember that you are not alone.

Reflecting, reimagining, and rewriting life after teaching overseas featuring Audrey Forgeron and David Carpenter. About Audrey Forgeron After first heading overseas in 1990 for a short-term teaching contract in Ethiopia, Audrey Forgeron never looked back. Over three decades and seven countries later, international teaching became both a career and a lifestyle; one filled with rich cultural experiences, global classrooms, and summers back home in Vermont. Now semi-retired and working as a life coach, Audrey has turned her love of storytelling and travel into a new adventure: podcasting. With co-host David Carpenter, she explores life after international education, sharing insights, stories, and inspiration for those considering new chapters—whether that means pivoting careers or embracing retirement. LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/aforgeron About David Carpenter David Carpenter brings decades of international school experience to the podcast, having started his overseas teaching journey in Israel in 1990. Since then, the landscape of global education has shifted dramatically with rapid school growth, post-pandemic changes, and evolving educator needs. David is passionate about helping both aspiring and current international educators make informed decisions about their lives abroad. An experienced podcaster, David co-founded the Shifting Our Schools podcast in 2008 with Jeff Utecht and later teamed up with Dr. Mark Hofer for a second education-focused podcast, the Ed Tech Co-Op. A longtime blogger and digital resource creator, David enjoys building tools and communities that support learning and well-being. Working with Audrey Forgeron on their Educators Going Global Learning Hub & Podcast is, in his words, “a joy and a privilege”—a chance to share stories, explore big questions, and give back to the international education community.

Dr. Amy Krentzman is an Associate Professor and Director of Research at the University of Minnesota School of Social Work. Her research interests include alcohol and other substance use disorders, positive psychology, spirituality, and journaling to support addiction recovery. Dr. Krentzman coauthored an article that was recently published in the Journal of Positive Psychology titled, Happiness with recovery from alcohol and substance use disorders predicts abstinence and treatment retention. In this podcast Dr. Krentzman talks about her interest in the field of recovery, the results of her study of happiness, and the concept of "North of Neutral," which is a core principle in Positive psychology. This principle means that just trying to fix problems is not enough of a goal, instead it suggests that a person's well-being can extend into a state characterized by flourishing, pursuing passions, and finding a sense of meaning in life.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel When the world feels overwhelming—whether it's family struggles, the pain of watching a loved one in addiction, or the heaviness of our collective challenges—it's easy to believe that peace will come once everything “out there” finally settles down. But in Soul Recovery, we learn that waiting for the outside world to change keeps us trapped in fear and frustration. The real transformation begins when we turn inward.In this episode, I share how I've been navigating real-life challenges with my family, including my son's addiction, and how the Soul Recovery process reminds us that we are powerless over others—but never powerless within ourselves. When we shift our focus from control to compassion, from fear to love, we begin to find clarity, strength, and the ability to show up with grace in even the most difficult circumstances. Turning within isn't an escape from life—it's the way to live it more fully, with peace and sovereignty.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Today we're celebrating our 5th birthday — five years, 260 episodes, countless destinations, and some of the most inspiring voices in travel. When I started this show back in 2020, I never could have imagined the incredible community that would form around it, or how many of you would join me each week to dream, to learn, and to reflect on the meaning of travel. So to mark this milestone, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of a hotelier, a guide, or a travel CEO, I invited three of our most dedicated listeners — Max, Torey, and Nikhil — to join me. Each of them brings their own stories: from safari sunsets and personalized luxury touches, to family adventures and how travel has shaped their careers and worldviews. In today's episode, we'll swap favorite destinations, share insider hotel moments, reflect on lessons travel has taught us about life, and even dive into some Luxury Travel Insider trivia. Above all, this episode is a celebration of you — the listeners — and of the idea that travel, when done with intention, connects us more deeply to ourselves, to each other, and to humanity. So grab a glass of champagne, settle in, and let's celebrate five incredible years of Luxury Travel Insider. Looking to book a luxury hotel?

In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson speaks with Josh Dickinson about the transformative power of flow states in recovery. They explore how movement, particularly surfing, can facilitate healing and personal growth. Josh shares insights from his experience as an addictions counselor and trauma specialist, emphasizing the importance of engagement and mindfulness in therapeutic practices. The conversation delves into the science behind flow, the stages of the flow cycle, and the spiritual connection that can arise from activities like surfing. They also discuss the balance between adrenaline and flow states, and how these experiences can enhance self-esteem and overall well-being. Finally, Josh provides information about his program, Resurface UK, which combines therapeutic practices with engaging activities to support individuals on their recovery journey. Takeaways Flow states can significantly enhance recovery processes. Engagement in activities like surfing promotes mindfulness. The flow cycle consists of struggle, release, flow, and recovery phases. Adrenaline and flow states serve different purposes in healing. Self-esteem is crucial for individuals in recovery. Movement therapy can lead to deeper emotional processing. Therapeutic activities should follow flow experiences for best results. Spiritual connections can be fostered through nature and movement. Positive psychology principles can be integrated into recovery. Programs like Resurface UK offer innovative approaches to healing.

Episode 3725: Mark Fisher shares the inspiring story of Brian Patrick Murphy, whose daily rituals transformed deep grief into a lifelong practice of joy and presence.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markfisherfitness.com/dedicated-pursuit-happiness/ Quotes to ponder: “By creating these rituals, Brian understood that happiness is not a byproduct of our environment, but a choice to pursue deep inner contentment.” “We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.” “Every part of me knew that it wasn't the greatest idea, but I reminded myself of the practice. So, I jumped in that ocean. I planted that flower.” Episode references: The Grapes of Wrath: https://www.amazon.com/Grapes-Wrath-John-Steinbeck/dp/0143039431 Learn more about your ad choices.
