Podcast appearances and mentions of Serenity Prayer

Part 6: "...Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace..."  If I could take you back to the moment you first drew air into your lungs; if I could take you back to the swaddled little baby that you were and reveal to you all that was going to happen to you over the decades to come, you would have cried - cried that you had been born - and cried to return to the warmth and safety of the womb.  But those who live well: Those are the people who learned long ago that hard times are bound to come, and nothing is gained by resisting those hard times, trying to reverse them, avoid them, fix them, or undo them. All that can be done is accept such hardships. All you can do is to become a good steward of your particular suffering. Take responsibility for your own attitude and actions in your given circumstances. Don't resist the lessons that life will teach you.

The Serenity Prayer, Part 5: "'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.' But the prayer continues. The next line: 'Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time.' There is acceptance - you can't change some things. There is courage - you must change the things you can. There is wisdom - to walk the middle path between the impossible and possible. And the next ingredient added to the recipe for serenity: Live one day at a time. Live in the moment. This tiniest fraction of an inch: It's all any of us really have."

Part 4 of Ronnie's series on The Serenity Prayer: "God grant me wisdom." Ronnie says, "Optimism is a false hope. Pessimism is as suicide pact. Idealism is a fool's errand - as a recovering idealist, it pains me to say that. This world can only be navigated by realists; realists who feel the strain, experience the tension of keeping balance, and beg God for wisdom."

In this third installment of Ronnie's current series, he picks up the theme of courage: "Having the courage to change the things we can." Ronnie says, "We all have internal insecurities, negative voices that shout out from the basement of our hearts to keep us afraid. We all have challenges that seem insurmountable - impossible to overcome. And our fears won't go away. They must be faced, for courage isn't a feeling. Courage is action. Courage isn't big talk and bravado. Courage is doing. Courage isn't having nothing to be afraid of. Courage is being afraid, but trying anyway."

In Episode 331 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we tackle one of the hardest truths in recovery and wellness: how much control do we really have over our mental health and substance use? Building on Episodes 327 (The Value of Vulnerability), 328 (The Information Age Issues), and 330 (Willpower), this conversation digs into the neuroscience of control - how brain chemistry, stress, and trauma reshape our ability to self-regulate - and why sheer willpower often falls short. Guided by the wisdom of the Serenity Prayer, we explore practical, science-backed ways to strengthen control through structure, skill-building, and support. From habit design and mindfulness to medication-assisted treatment and integrated care, this episode reframes “control” not as a solo effort, but as a shared, sustainable path toward healing and balance. Tune in to see Control Through a Therapist's Eyes.

In today's episode, Gina shares with listeners the Serenity Prayer (popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous) and how it can help those of us suffering from anxiety. Though the prayer is thought to have been written by Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, the prayer is non-denominational and even applicable for those of us who are not religious at all. The messages contained in this prayer are both personal and universal.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors!https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/ Thank you for supporting The Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

While we have touched on the prayer previously, today's episode aims to explore it in depth, offering five key reminders to help individuals summon its wisdom in challenging times.We begin by revisiting the essence of the Serenity Prayer, originally penned by Reinhold Niebuhr. Most people recognize its familiar lines, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” Despite its Christian roots, the prayer has transcended religious boundaries, allowing anyone grappling with life's uncertainties to find solace within its message. The universality and simplicity of the language are what make it stick, serving as a mantra for countless individuals seeking peace amidst the chaos of their thoughts and feelings.Through my discussion, I emphasize the importance of acceptance as a foundational element in achieving serenity. Acceptance, often misconstrued as complacency or passivity, is an active engagement with reality. It requires recognizing the limits of our control and redirecting our energy toward aspects of life that we can influence. I encourage listeners to reflect on the areas of their lives where acceptance is essential, underscoring that embracing this concept can lead to a more peaceful existence without equating it to surrendering to defeat.#SerenityPrayer, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #MentalHealth, #Acceptance, #Courage, #Wisdom, #Surrender, #PersonalGrowth, #AnxietyRelief, #InnerPeace, #FaithAndTrust, #KnowTheDifference, #ChangeWhatYouCan, #LifeJourney, #PanicAttackRecovery, #CalmTheStorm, #SelfCare, #NervousSystem, #InspirationalQuotes, #WiseWords, #TimberHawkeye, #Niebuhr, #AAWisdom, #Humility, #UniversalTruth, #FindYourSerenity, #DailyPractice, #HabitChange, #SelfImprovement, #MakeAShift, #BeBrave, #StayStrong, #SelfReflection, #ConsciousLiving, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Oh, God, grant me there serenity to accept the things I cannot change." And by acceptance, what is meant? It means you cannot deny reality. You cannot successfully resist the facts of your situation. Take people and things as they are. The longer you resist reality, frankly, the more desperate you will become. The longer you struggle and fight against what cannot be overcome or modified, the more unhealthy you will become. The longer you deny the facts of your situation, or try to control what is beyond your reach, the more insane you will begin to feel. The only way to regain composure; the only way to regain your health; the only way to return to sanity is radical acceptance. It is this acceptance of all those things, people, situations, and expectation that we cannot change, control, manage, amend or make the way we would have them that leads to what Reinhold Niebuhr called, “serenity.”

When we want to turn away from sin and our struggles, we turn to God to save and heal us. We are given clarity to open our eyes and see our life in a new or different way. And while we're accepting reality as it is, we recognize what we can and cannot control, we realize what is asked of us everyday. When we live that reality one moment at a time, that's the time we can accept life in a particular way and enjoy it! This episode talks about the Serenity Prayer and what it means to be in recovery and seek healing and conversion.

As 1's, we want to do good things in the world, we want to redeem things in the world.

Reinhold Niebuhr, a legendary ethicist and theologian from the previous century, may have produced the greatest single slice of spirituality in the history of North America when he penned a profound prayer in 1932. That prayer begins: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.” This is the first talk in series of taking the full Serenity Prayer line by line:  To celebrate it, be shaped by it, and learn how to live lives of strength and peace in a mad, mad world that cannot - that never could - and never will - provide us those things. 

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of Trudge Report. After we go around the horn we dive right into another prayer. This week it is the Prayer of St Francis, also referred to as “A Prayer for Peace.” Like last week's dive into the Serenity Prayer, this prayer has been a major part of all of our lives since our early recovery. It is a prayer that has layers and deeper meaning depending on where we are at in our spiritual journeys.The second half of the show is all about how deep each of our belief systems go when it comes to the paranormal and the supernatural. We each share a few experiences and certain things we may or may not fully believe in and buy into when it comes to some of the spooky stuff. Gregory lives some very real childhood experiences that are perfect for this time of year. We recap some of the Chris McKinnell episodes and how some of what he shared and his experiences have helped shape our own.The smallest good deed is better than the grandest of intentions.            -John Burroughs-Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

Send us a textA wedding speech that kept getting soaked with tears. A 911 call that saved a friend who doesn't remember it. A sponsor who hits a wall because “please in the morning, thank you at night” turned into “I'll get to it later.” This one is unfiltered and full-hearted. We invited our wives back to talk about what balance really costs in recovery, marriage, and work—and how gratitude becomes more than a feeling when God moves to the center of the room.We trace the arc from rehab to real life: why plans after discharge have to be about staying sober, not fixing everything at once. We unpack the Serenity Prayer as a practical blueprint—accept what you can't control, take courageous action where you can, and ask God for the wisdom to know the difference. Steps 10 and 11 take front seat, too: daily inventory to keep ego from calcifying, and prayer and meditation to keep conscience contact current. Along the way, we get honest about burnout, boundaries, and why a weekly “no commitments” day can save a marriage. There's laughter—a double-yolk “three-egg” omelet that wrecks a planner's brain—and there's real talk about grief, faith, and leading at home without becoming a martyr to the calendar.Our wives ground the conversation with what it felt like to carry the house, then slowly hand leadership back over years, not months. They ask for what matters: presence, humility, and follow-through. We share how physical practice (hello, jiu-jitsu) helps bleed off stress, how scripture and the Big Book align in surprising ways, and how faith becomes family culture when we live it instead of posting it. If you're wrestling with work pressure, recovery service, marriage rhythms, or just trying to be spiritually fit without faking it, this conversation meets you where you are and points you toward progress, not perfection.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Join us this week for a deeper look into a classic prayer, the Serenity Prayer. This is a prayer that people recovering from alcoholism and addiction have been using for many years and it is the unofficial prayer of most recovery programs. What many people in the rooms of recovery know is the short form of this prayer but the boys at TRP take a deeper look into the original version of the prayer. Then we switch gears entirely and get into the origins of All Hallows Eve, as it is the beginning of spooky season. Join us this week as we take a history lesson on two vastly different topics that will be sure to leave you laughing, intrigued, inspired, and maybe even slightly scared.“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.”            — Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

What does it take to lead a hotel company through constant headwinds while still inspiring teams and delivering exceptional guest experiences?Today Dan interviews Scott Roby, President of Pacifica Hotels, to explore the state of the hospitality industry. They discuss the importance of focusing on controllable aspects of business, such as team and guest care, amid economic headwinds and legislative challenges in California. Scott shares insights on Pacifica's strategy of balancing ownership and third-party management, the value of maintaining a strong company culture, and the critical role of technology in the industry. The conversation also touches upon the future prospects and financial strategies for 2026 and beyond, emphasizing a meticulous approach to cost management and team accountability.Takeaways: Encourage team members to share where they're stuck or what could make their jobs better. Leaders should model vulnerability and ask focused questions like, “What's one thing I can do to make your job easier?”Embrace technology and AI to streamline operations and enhance guest experiences. Use tech to remove rote tasks, freeing up staff for more meaningful guest interactions.When working with third-party owners or management partners, ensure alignment in values and culture. Have honest conversations early to avoid misfits that can erode company culture.Monitor both macro and micro trends in your market. Be prepared to pivot operations, staffing, and capital allocation as needed to respond to changing conditions.Build a culture of accountability. Be direct, give open feedback, and focus on solutions.
