Podcasts about true happiness

"There's a big difference for me in living and being alive. There's a difference between breathing and truly experiencing life." - Todd WhitthorneMy guest this week Todd Whitthorne joined me for a conversation that goes far beyond the balance sheet to explore the true meaning of well-being. We discuss why a leader's personal health is the foundational, non-negotiable asset for their professional success.Todd breaks down the crucial role leaders play in building trust and creating a "culture of health" that yields a real financial, clinical, and cultural ROI. We explore the five pillars of well-being (fitness, nutrition, sleep, stress, and prevention), the difference between "lifespan" and "healthspan," and why investing in yourself is the least selfish thing a leader can do.The episode concludes with the incredible true story of Todd's 70-year-old friend who survived being hit and run over by a drunk driver, which is a powerful testament to how a lifelong commitment to fitness creates true resilience. I hope you'll tune in for this inspirational conversation!Chapters:(00:00:00) Lessons in Health & Leadership (00:06:11) Why Trust is a Leader's Most Important Asset (00:14:14) The Difference Between Lifespan and Healthspan (00:17:06) Why Investing in Yourself Isn't Selfish (00:48:59) The Pursuit of True Happiness (01:05:49) The 70-Year-Old Who Survived And Thrived After a Hit-and-RunKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

Awakening to Eternal Life As a warm-up to this year's Mystical Christ Academy, David invites people in using the movie Premonition to emphasize that the ego creates a fictitious world of time and space, distracting us from our true identity as the Christ, the perfect Son of God. He conveys that concepts like birth, death, and emotional turmoil are illusions that do not reflect reality. David refers to lessons from A Course in Miracles, particularly the idea that nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. In the movie session, participants are encouraged to recognize that the events in the movie unfolding are merely projections of a mind lost in illusion. David focuses on the notion that true peace comes from realizing the eternal nature of existence, beyond the drama of the physical world.  The Mystical Christ Academy 2025, starting August 15: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/mystical-christ-academy-2025 To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatherings Join our online community:  https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christ Who is David Hoffmeister?: https://davidhoffmeister.com/ If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information:  https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.

It's time for another beloved encore presentation and this time we are bringing back this powerful podcast therapy session for your benefit and enjoyment.  Dr. Sara Kuburic, an existential psychotherapist and author behind The @Millennial.Therapist, offers profound insights into taking ownership of our lives. Dr. Kuburic champions the idea that we are free and responsible agents, shaping our own development through our choices. While it's easy to blame external forces for unhappiness, she encourages us to embrace the amazing opportunity to engage in life fully. She poses a crucial question: how much of what we face is inflicted by us, and how much just happens? As a therapist, she equips people with tools to navigate life's challenges, asking: “what can you change or how can you change your attitude so the situation is less painful for you?” Beyond existential thought, Jen and Dr. Kuburic explore self-loss and how we can unknowingly deceive ourselves into believing we're living the life we desire, even as our bodies signal distress through depression, anxiety, and panic. Jen and Dr. Kuburic get honest about: The difference between loving the "idea" of who you are versus who you actually are, and how to stop self-deception. The point when avoiding change becomes more painful than embracing it. Acknowledging our physical limits: how our bodies send red flags like anxiety, fear, or panic, even when we feel strong. How an all-consuming dedication to making something work, even if it's not right for us, can lead to our weakest moments if we don't face the truth. Thought-provoking Quotes: “We get to engage in life; we can take ownership, we can take responsibility, we can make choices, and I think that that's really how I see human suffering. My question is always, ‘how much of it happened to you? How much of it did you inflict on yourself?'” – Dr. Sara Kuburic “Life happens to us but that's not all that happens. We also happen to life.” – Dr, Sara Kuburic “The most pain I experienced actually came from my own participation, which included avoidance and self-deceit. I am not hard on myself because it came from such a pure place. I can't be mad at myself. But, I also understand that it's not something that serves me.” – Dr. Sara Kuburic “The truth is there regardless of whether or not you choose to see it. It will dictate your life until you see it. So are you safe enough in yourself to handle the truth that you are resisting or avoiding? That's a really delicate question that we need to honor.” – Dr.  Sara Kuburic Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Sara Kuburic's “For the rest of 2025” Instagram post - https://www.instagram.com/p/C_WjH0mzF9z/ It's On Me: Accept Hard Truths, Discover Yourself and Change Your Life by Dr. Sara Kuburic - https://amzn.to/3Uf40yf Dr. Sara Kuburic's USA Today Column - https://www.usatoday.com/staff/7586635002/sara-kuburic/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.sara-kuburic.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/millennial.therapist/?hl=en Twitter - https://x.com/SaraKuburic Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sarakuburic/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

“Your voice matters. You matter. So by shining your light, by owning your worth, by using your voice, you actually give other people permission to do the same.” —Cathy Reilly   You've climbed the ladder, followed the rules, and built a life that looks successful on the outside— so why does it feel like something is missing on the inside? That quiet ache of unhappiness isn't a sign of failure; it's your inner self telling you that your ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. The friction you feel comes from the gap between who the world told you to be and who you truly are, and it's dimming the very light you're meant to share. Cathy Reilly is a communication expert and the CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC, where she helps leaders say what they really mean to get what they really want. Drawing from 25 years in high-conflict litigation and her own entrepreneurial journey of hitting a frustrating ceiling, she discovered that misalignment—not a lack of ambition—is the ultimate dream killer. Her transformation from a quiet introvert to a powerful communicator provides a brilliant, lived-in roadmap for anyone ready to trade external validation for unshakeable internal clarity. If you're done with being a well-behaved version of someone you're not, this conversation is your permission slip to shine. Listen in to discover why true success is simply alignment in action, how to use the "three brains" (your head, heart, and gut) to guide you, and a simple exercise to uncover the core values that will finally lead you home to yourself.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 02:16 The Importance of Effective Communication 08:07 Personal Growth and Self-Esteem 11:44 Aligning with Core Values 24:52 The Role of Communication in Business Success 32:38 The Power of Positive Self-Talk   38:02 Seeking Clarity in Communication   Connect with Cathy:  Cathy Reilly, CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC and founder of The Clarity Code, is an international keynote speaker, best-selling author, corporate trainer, podcast host, leadership coach, mindset mastery coach, communication, and wellness specialist who draws on her rich expertise in psychology, neurolinguistics, business, and law.

From Prison to Freedom: The Radical Healing Story of Dale Crowe “The true escape is in the mind.” In this powerful conversation with David Hoffmeister, Dale Crowe shares his extraordinary journey from a life defined by boxing, pride, and prison to a profound encounter with forgiveness and love. What began as a prison sentence became a classroom for healing, where every past memory was reinterpreted through the vision of Christ. Dale's story is a living demonstration of the deep truth of A Course in Miracles: nothing real can be threatened, and all healing is of the mind. From meeting his childhood bully and embracing innocence to dropping every mask of identity, Dale discovered that true freedom isn't found in the world but in the quiet release of the heart.

www.longviewbaptistchurch.org Proverbs 3:13-15 Sunday, July 27, 2025 1. True happiness is found in truth. 2. Truth pays eternal dividends. 3. Godliness will fulfill like nothing else.

This sermon, drawn from Jeremiah 9:23–26, challenges the pursuit of happiness and success through worldly wisdom, strength, and wealth, as the people of ancient Israel did by imitating idolatrous nations. Instead, God calls us to boast in understanding and knowing him—his steadfast love, justice, and righteousness. While Israel faced judgment for their idolatry and pride, we are urged to avoid their folly by recognizing God as the ultimate Judge and Redeemer. True joy comes not from earthly achievements but from a heart transformed by faith, using God's gifts of wisdom, power, and wealth for his glory and the good of others, while always remembering that knowing God himself is our greatest treasure.

"I Will Not Value what is Valueless.” In this morning session from the Strawberry Festival 2025, David Hoffmeister and Kirsten Buxton explore the concept of valuing what lasts forever as the true measure of worth, contrasting it with valuing temporary things. They emphasize the need for practical guidance and the significance of a sincere ‘yes' to divine plans, which opens the door to receiving guidance. True guidance is rooted in the present, rather than future planning, and emphasizes the importance of being present to experience miracles. They recount personal experiences of following divine direction, highlighting that everything necessary for one's journey is provided when one is aligned with this guidance. The discussion also touches on the themes of letting go of personal plans and embracing a life led by spirit, asserting that true fulfillment comes from aligning with God's will rather than relying on one's own understanding or efforts.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – This Independence Day weekend, I reflect on God's gift of liberty and the founding principles that shape our nation. The Declaration of Independence reminds us that our rights come from God, and we're called not just to seek happiness, but to pursue virtue and wisdom. Let's give thanks for freedom and the opportunity to live it out...

Don't steal or covet. So says God. Why not? This sermons explores that answer and relates it directly to the modern lust for bigger, better more. Roy Oswald says: "The truly happy person is the one who wants, more than anything else, what he already has."

The Opening of Strawberry Fields Festival with RISE, David Hoffmeister, Kirsten Buxton, and Jason Warwick Immerse yourself in the transcendent music and teachings from the Strawberry Fields Festival's opening session. This recording begins with three soul-stirring songs from the band RISE, setting the stage for an exploration into the profound truths of divine innocence. In the session, David Hoffmeister, Kirsten Buxton, and Jason Warwick guide listeners on a journey inward, revealing that innocence is not a fragmented concept of the world but an unwavering truth. We are as God created us: pure spirit, pure love. We have never been separate; we have never erred. This understanding dissolves illusions and leads us into holiness, unlocking the freedom of our minds and the liberation of the world.  The festival's theme song, “Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about,” serves as a reminder that true mastery is achieved through love—not fear. It is not about meeting worldly needs but about embracing the divine. Atonement is the realization that separation never occurred, and in this awareness, time fades. The past is relinquished, the future loses relevance, and eternity stands revealed.  Enjoyed listening to this session and am interested in listening to the entire talk.

"Mastery Through Love: Transcending Time and Illusion" Time is a trick and an illusion, with figures appearing and disappearing as if by magic. However, behind these appearances is a plan of atonement. At the end of the journey, we imagine and review our mental experiences. David and Marina show the movie Slumdog Millionaire, that follows the main character on a journey of love and mastery through love. This journey is not about fear but mastery through love; we must be willing and ready to achieve mastery. David and Marina emphasize that we are in charge of time and space, and the miracle collapses time for us. We are here to undo the belief in linear time and dispel the trick of thinking there is a world outside ourselves. The greatest gift of all is our identity, created in spirit by God. God's free will is hidden from our awareness, but the only part of God's will that remains is through our willingness to open our hearts and minds and let go of the past.

Episode #984 Do you ever feel like it's your job to make sure everyone else is happy—your wife, your kids, your team—and somehow, it never quite works? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive deep into a common (and exhausting) trap many high-achieving men fall into: trying to take responsibility for other people's emotions. It feels noble at first—like you're being a great husband, father, or leader. But at what cost? You'll hear personal stories and hard-won lessons about how this pattern often stems from childhood conditioning, religious or cultural expectations, and the desire to create peace and safety. And more importantly, you'll learn what to do about it. This one's a real conversation—unscripted, honest, and revealing. No fluff. Just the stuff that gets in your way and how to get past it. Tired of carrying everyone's happiness but losing your own? Watch the free training at fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales to learn why that's happening—and how to turn it around so your wife looks at you like her man again. __________ Hungry for more? Head over to our Bonus page for special access to some of the deeper tactics and techniques we've developed at The Powerful Man.

Matthew 5:1-6

The End of the Belief in Ego and Linear Time  Description: Movie Commentary by David Hoffmeister and Marina Colombo This movie commentary for Needle in a Timestack, hosted by David and Marina, is the first of four movies that challenge the belief in the ego, and overcomes the belief in linear time. This week's movie offers a mind-expanding experience that questions the concepts of linear time and the ego's hostility towards the world.

“Open Heart” Thanksgiving Movie Gathering with David Hoffmeister Thanksgiving was celebrated in Mexico last year with a beautiful movie, Family Man, that reminds us that it is impossible to know who we are as Christ or Spirit if we believe we are something else, like dream figures. The movie offers a glimpse at a different timeline called quantum timeline jumping. This process involves projecting a desired result or state of being that differs from your existing timeline, using advanced energy techniques to bring coherence to your desired outcome. The idea behind quantum jumping is that you are living in a multiverse of parallel universes, which are believed to have no connection to one another. However, these alternate universes are connected, and awareness of the new timeline merges with your current awareness, leaving the other timelines seemingly out of reach. Enjoy listening to David's quantum timeline jumping commentary and if you are interested in listening to the entire talk Here is the link: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/open-heart-thanksgiving-movie-gathering-with-david-hoffmeister-2024--63152956 To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatherings Join our online community:  https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christ Who is David Hoffmeister?: https://davidhoffmeister.com/ If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information:  https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.

What is True Renunciation? - David Hoffmeister  The movie David shows at the "Celebration of Illumination” event, Doom of Love, is an excellent introduction to the more profound teachings of A Course in Miracles and its practical application to the world.  Mysticism, which is pure devotion to God, is often confused with renunciation, especially in Eastern traditions. However, Jesus clarifies that true renunciation is about withdrawing belief in the ego, not performing ritualistic acts.  As everyone becomes aware of their attachments and addictions, including the habit of judgment, Jesus aims to help us free our minds by realizing we were never meant to be judges. He teaches that renouncing the ego, created by our belief in it, is a mind event requiring disciplined mind training to live as the Christ rather than the ego.

Pastor Kirk Hall continues the sermon series, "Living Life in the Light of God's Word." Today's message is titled, "The Key To True Happiness " - focusing on Psalm 119:1-8

Happiness is the magic charm that the world is eagerly in search of. But the believer in Christ is its only possessor. He has found it--and found it in Jesus. He has found it in a renunciation of self-righteousness, and in a humble reception of Jesus. There is no true happiness outside of Jesus! What true happiness can the heart feel while . . .   it is spiritually dead,   its sins are unpardoned,   it is under condemnation,   and exposed to the wrath of a holy and just God? Oh reader, do not dream of happiness, until you have gone as a repenting sinner to the cross of Christ!You may be a son or a daughter of affliction. In this furnace you may be chosen, and through this furnace, it may be the Lord's holy will that you should pass all your days. You may be a child of poverty, possessing but little of this world's comforts--and you feel lonely, neglected, and despised.Yet oh, look up Christian! You are precious in God's sight! You are as dear to Him as the pupil of His eye. His heart yearns over you with more than a mother's exquisite fondness for her child, because He has loved you with an everlasting love! And to the praise of the glory of His grace, He has accepted you in the Beloved. Realize this, and though . . .   rough and thorny your path may be,   and fiery your furnace,   and deep your poverty,   and lonely your situation--you shall experience a peace and a happiness to which the world around you is an utter stranger."Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid."    John 14:27 "Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked
