210: Jon Acuff and The 3-Minute Mindset
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author, joins us to talk about his new book, The 3-Minute Mindset—a 90-day daily reader designed to replace negative internal dialogue with simple, actionable thoughts that transform your habits and relationships.Armed with his signature witty, dry humor, Jon dives into the evolution of his writing and unpacks why our biggest obstacle to personal growth is rarely a lack of information, but rather a mindset shift. He shares how to swap toxic hustle culture for intentional living, reframe negative soundtracks, and protect what matters most (like "choosing what's rare" when your kids ask for your time). Plus, we get into real-life moments—from accidental senior citizen discounts at Burger King and the lure of beautifully marketed tinned fish to why bingeing dark documentaries might not be the best bedtime routine!Go to jonacuff.com to find out more about Jon, his work, and other books he's written.Buy The 3-Minute Mindset here!THE SHOW NOTES!Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

209: Opportunistic
We've all had a relationship that gives us the ick. Not in a gross way, but in a "that feels transactional and cold" way. What do we do about relationships that start off great but then something shifts - when it becomes doing for each other instead of being with each other? How do we evaluate the relationships that start to feel like they're keeping score? Is it even a negative characteristic - calling someone opportunistic? Join us in this conversation all about opportunistic relationships.Here's our new web page! Check it out!THE SHOW NOTES!Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

205: Mystery and Presence
We all have that natural urge to ask “Why?” when things get messy—our brains are actually wired for a neat and tidy conclusion. But, the reality is, life doesn't always answer the question - instead, it often pushes us towards faith. If we look back at folks like Job and Joseph, we realize life doesn't always come with a clean instruction manual or an easy roadmap. The truth is that we don't need to understand every twist and turn of the valley to be okay. Real comfort doesn't come from getting all the answers; it comes from knowing we aren't walking alone.

204: Participate in Joy
Joy isn't just a mood that hits you—it’s an active choice and a daily participation sport. Our brains might be hardwired with a negativity bias to hunt for threats, but thanks to ideas like the 40% rule and Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights, we can actually train ourselves to seek out everyday magic instead. It’s an honest, grounded look at how life works, reminding us that you don't have to wait for things to be perfect—you can carry genuine joy and heavy sorrow in the exact same breath.THE SHOW NOTESRick Hanson's "Velcro vs. Teflon" and Negativity BiasSonja Lyubomirsky's 40% RulePoet Ross Gay and The Book of DelightsThanks for being a part of our podcast community!
