On this episode of One Happy Thing, we're talking about some creative ways of letting go of fear and worry by getting clear on what you do want, putting in a request with God or the Universe or whatever higher power you believe in -- and then letting go with trust. We cover God Boxes, treasure chests, pink bubbles and more... and we'd love to hear your ideas as well!

In this episode we're asking some important questions about our relationship with our cell phones. How connected is too connected? Does that restless, uneasy feeling some of us get when we haven't looked at the phone for awhile signal an addiction? Do you know where your cell phone is right now and how long has it been since you last looked at your social media or played a game? Kerry admits to falling into a doom scrolling addiction. Maddie confesses that a lot of the time she doesn't know where her phone has gone and feeling anxious until she locates it. And Jennifer reveals a healthy attitude toward her own phone and an ability to use it responsibly. (We considered calling this episode Be Like Jennifer.🤣)

We'd love to hear from you on this topic. What is your relationship with your phone? Are you possibly overly dependent? Do you have any tips or techniques to share on how to manage our screen time better? Email us at onehappythingpodcast@gmail.com, or find us on social media:

Today we’re diving into a question that sounds, and feels, important: what does it mean to live with purpose? And how do we go about doing that? As we discovered in this conversation, all three of us have slightly different ways of thinking about the idea, but really we’re all talking about the same thing in the end: finding something in your life that calls to you, brings you joy, and benefits others along the way.

There’s a lot more to be said on the subject, but we hope that our thoughts will get your own brain firing and we’d love to hear your ideas, insights, and stories. Drop us a comment or send us an email at onehappythingpodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode, we're delighting in remembering the childhood toys and games and ways of thinking that were full of magic and wonder. From Strawberry Shortcake to homemade paper dolls, elaborate games of house, and creating forts practically anywhere... our days were full of creativity and discovery.

The joy of these memories leads to the question: how can we bring that playful and creative way of being forward into our adult lives? Listen in to hear our ideas and then tell us yours! Drop a comment wherever you're listening, send us an email at onehappythingpodcast@gmail.com or hashtag #onehappythingpodcast on your socials. We'd love to hear your memories and your ideas.

If you've ever had the experience of not being able to seesomething that was right there in front of your eyes, you'll relate to this lively and wide ranging conversation. From invisible Wordle letters to missing recipes and elusive plot points, we're brainstorming ways to look at problems with different eyes.

Download and listen now, because you never know what fabulous opportunity or long lost object has been right in front of you all along.

Sleep. We all know it's good for us, but most of us have unhelpful sleep habits or hangups—or even, like Maddie Dawson—outright sleep avoidance.

What to do? And how important is sleep anyway?

Join us for a lively discussion about what works for us and what doesn't, and why we're all on a quest for more refreshing and rejuvenating sleep.

The app Maddie mentions where you can listen to Matthew McConaughey read you a boring bedtime story is the Calm app.

We've all been there—on the edge of going after a big dream, but scared to take the leap. In this inspiring conversation (hey, we inspired ourselves!) we talk about some of the things, beliefs, and well-meaning people that can get in the way of us pursuing our dreams. We also talk about why dreams matter and the joy of doing what we feel called to do.

If you want to check out the book we referenced that talks all about zones of comfort, excellence, and genius, it's called The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks. Check it out here on Bookshop.org.

Whether you're thinking about pursuing a big dream, or you've already taken the leap, we'd love to hear about it. Drop us an email at onehappythingpodcast@gmail.com.
