  • My Heart Is Safe With You

    My Heart Is Safe With You
    Nov 18 2024
    In this episode, I’m joined by my sweet best friend, Jody Morgan, for a heartfelt conversation about the beauty of true friendship, navigating complex family dynamics, and discovering joy even in the hard times. Jody and I share stories of our adventures together and reflect on what it means to have a friend with whom you feel truly safe. This episode is about friendship that uplifts, inspires, and reminds us of our worth.Jody opens up about her journey of setting boundaries, especially with family members who have been a source of pain, and we talk about the courage it takes to protect your peace. We also dive into how people-pleasing can hold us back and the joy that comes from living authentically. As we recount unforgettable experiences, from seeing Jimmy Carter teach Sunday school to dancing our hearts out at a concert, I’m reminded of how blessed I am to share life’s beautiful moments with someone who just “gets” me.

  • The Power Of My Words

    The Power Of My Words
    Nov 4 2024
    Welcome to the very first long-form episode of My Happy Ass Life! Today, I'm excited to share this journey of growth in mind, body, and spirit. In this debut episode, I discuss why and how we’re moving from daily affirmations to this extended podcast format. We explore how life's transitions call for changes in our routines and how stepping out of the comfort zone leads to more profound transformation.

    I share stories from my life, from standing in the bathtub at age six giving motivational speeches (inspired by Prowl Shampoo, no less!) to finding solace in affirmations as a child growing up in an alcoholic home. We also tackle some big concepts—like the transformative power of forgiveness, gratitude, and learning to let go of limiting beliefs that hold us back. Through humor, vulnerability, and honesty, this episode is about understanding how every moment, even the challenging ones, can shape us into our happiest selves.

    We also discuss why words matter. Words have the power to build, to heal, and to inspire. Whether it’s "praise at the pump" while filling up on gas or choosing affirmations that nurture our spirits, this episode reminds us all that the narratives we create for ourselves can shape our reality.

    Key Highlights:
    [03:00] The origin of daily affirmations and how My Happy Ass Life began.
    [06:30] Childhood moments that inspired the love for motivational speaking.
    [12:00] Growing up in a tumultuous home and finding refuge in books and affirmations.
    [15:00] Praise at the Pump: Turning mundane tasks into moments of gratitude.
    [22:00] The immense power of forgiveness—how it’s for you more than anyone else.
    [28:00] Why a gracious spirit can transform your interactions, even on tough days.
    [33:00] Taking care of our bodies, embracing imperfections, and loving the skin we’re in.
    [42:00] Mishaps and "not-haps": How embracing our mistakes helps us grow.
    [47:00] The magic of Mondays and why embracing the "do-over" is powerful.
    [53:00] The sheer power of words: Choosing language that heals and inspires.
