    My Heart Is Safe With You

    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.

  • Redefining Stregth With Dr. Jenn Burg

    Redefining Stregth With Dr. Jenn Burg
    Nov 4 2024
    What if the strength you’ve always sought is actually what’s keeping you stuck? Imagine if real growth means letting go of what feels comfortable and embracing the uncertainty that comes with change. In this first episode of Season 4, I sit down with my amazing coach, Dr. Jenn Burg, to talk about what strength really means.

    We talk about everything from how to make real changes in our daily habits, like starting each morning with gratitude, to pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones, such as taking on new challenges at work or in our personal lives. We also share the journey of switching from a daily podcast to a weekly one, and why that matters for mental health. Plus, we talk about the importance of asking for help, why it can be so difficult, and how it can lead to unexpected growth.

    We also discuss the popular GLP-1 medications, their pros and cons, and how to think about health and weight management in a healthy, balanced way. If you’re ready to discover what true strength means, focus on what really matters, and embrace a more meaningful life, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

    Key Highlights:
    [01:00] Jenn’s career changes after Hurricane Michael.
    [03:00] How Jenn's coaching transformed more than just my fitness journey.
    [06:00] The challenge of asking for help as a leader.
    [08:00] Reevaluating my priorities for better self-care.
    [10:00] Adjusting my podcast schedule for more balance.
    [16:00] Gaining sponsorships and understanding my self-worth.
    [20:00] Learning when it's time to slow down.
    [30:00] Thoughts on GLP-1 medications and managing weight.
    [42:00] Growing through the struggles I face.
    [50:00] Tuning in and really listening to my body.
    [57:00] Finding joy in the challenging moments.

  • Season 4 Trailer - Growing Together, Weekly

    Season 4 Trailer - Growing Together, Weekly
    Nov 1 2024
    Hey, y’all! 🎉 Thanks for waking up with a Happy Ass! This season, we’re shifting from daily affirmations to weekly episodes, letting us dive even deeper into what makes life brighter, sweeter, and more purposeful. 🌞

    Four and a half years ago, during the COVID days, a friend nudged me to share my daily affirmations online, and I thought, "Why not?" So, we started gathering each morning, lifting each other up, sharing life lessons, and kicking off the day with positive energy. From that first post, we grew together, Monday through Friday, for 10-minute bursts of joy. And it’s been a beautiful journey! But as life does, things changed, and so did my heart’s calling.

    Now, it's time to evolve! Season 4 brings a longer, richer format where we’ll go beyond affirmations and dive into real, heartfelt discussions. And I’m so excited because this season, I’m bringing along all my favorite people as guests! Expect inspiring conversations that feed the mind, body, and spirit—and help make the world a bit brighter!

    Look for new episodes every Monday (unless it’s a holiday week). I’m pouring all my love into this season, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Let’s grow together and, as always, be sweet, y’all! 💛

  • Money Matters Flipping the Script on My Money Mindset

    Money Matters Flipping the Script on My Money Mindset
    Oct 30 2024
    In today’s episode, we're getting honest about money. Spoiler alert: I haven't always been the best with it—and that's putting it lightly. But I’m on a journey to change that and inviting you to come along. Today, I’m sharing some personal stories, lessons from Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and the real truth about how we can make money work for us instead of always working for money. It’s not about shame; it's about growth. So, let’s start rethinking our relationship with money together!

    Episode Highlights:
    [01:30] My relationship with money: A history of $500 cars and flippant choices
    [08:00] Lessons from Rich Dad, Poor Dad: Are you working for money or is money working for you?
    [15:00] Recognizing the underlying attitudes we carry about money and why they might be holding us back
    [22:00] A challenge for us all: Find those hidden costs and let’s get rid of what we don’t need—apps, subscriptions, the works!

    The Journey ContinuesMoney’s a tool, and it’s time we let it work for us. I’m making it my goal to get wiser and more intentional, and I’d love for you to do the same. Start by looking at the small stuff—those subscriptions and extras we don’t need—and let's begin shifting our mindsets. If you’re on this journey, too, reach out! Let me know what you’re working on because we’re all learning together. Thanks for being here with me.
