If you (or someone you know) are ready to be happier, this episode may be finding it's way to you at just the right time.
It also happens to be the first episode where I've ever actually read a letter to you, word-for-word. Please allow me to explain...
As I was preparing for my next live coaching session on "HOLISTIC HAPPINESS" for the Best Year Ever Coaching program, I came across an article I wrote in 2008 for Bliss Magazine, "How to Choose Happiness."
The article (and this podcast episode) is based on a letter I received from Katie, a woman who was feeling hopeless, telling me about her depression and why she simply can't be happy.
In today's podcast episode, you'll hear me read Katie's letter, followed by my response, and then her final, unexpected, and truly inspiring conclusion, about how applying the advice in my letter completely shifted her perspective, opened her eyes to new possibilities, and enabled her to immediately begin to transcend her depression.
I sincerely hope this episode makes a profound impact for you, or someone you know, the way that it did for Katie.

How about a little quiz? Don’t worry, it’s only one question—Do you control your ego, or does your ego control you?
Many of us have been taught to regard the idea of ego with suspicion and judgment. We hear that ego is synonymous with selfishness and try to do whatever we can to get away from it. The truth is, the ego is an integral part of your being, and an important ingredient to designing a healthy, balanced life. The trick is just to be in control of it, rather than letting it guide your life.
If at the core of your actions is a desire to help others and add value to their lives regardless of your own benefit, but you understand the need to also make a living, you probably have a pretty healthy ego. On the other hand, if at the core of your actions is a desire to get noticed, to receive accolades, and to be remembered, then your ego is probably getting a little ahead of you. No need to worry, though – there is hope for us all!
In this episode, you will…
- Learn how to transform purpose into profit
- Understand how to go from ego-driven to purpose-driven for a happier, more successful life!
- Discover the distinction between mission and purpose and why you need them both
- Determine whether or not your mission and purpose are aligned for success
- Hear how to re-engineer your ego to have a more meaningful life
I had to go on an ego-balancing journey myself, and I’m here to tell you that after reducing ego, I began to experience more happiness, fulfillment, and success than ever before, because my goals were more than just “me”-centered pursuits. If I can make the change, so can you!
Tune in!

Friends, today’s episode is a conversation with one of my best friends, John Ruhlin, and I’m grateful to be able to share his story, and his strategies for “Radical Generosity” with you.
This guy has taught me so much about appreciating others, personally and professionally, and his new book Giftology (and our podcast interview) give you the shortcut to gaining the wisdom that has taken him 20+ years to acquire.
Publications like Forbes and INC Magazine have deemed him the world’s leading expert in a topic that we can all learn more about – “Appreciation.”
You may not have even known that there was a study of gift-giving – What’s there to study anyway, right?
Giving gifts has become so automated in our culture that we have to remind ourselves to actually put thought into them, and even when we do, the thoughts often end up being more about ourselves than the recipient – we’re good people, so what gives?? Like everything else in our lives, learning to give personalized, thoughtful gifts, is a practice, and you won’t want to miss John’s masterful insights about it.
In this episode, you will…
Tune in to learn how thoughtful giving can begin transforming your life, and the lives of the people you begin giving to.
