Happy Life Studios Podcast

Everyone wants to live the life they love and love the life they live, but why do so many struggle finding that life? In this week's episode, we will talk about the 3 main reasons why many don't live the life they love or love the life they live, as we continue on with some more practical information from last week's episode.The song we use again this week is "I Love the Life I Live" by Angela Strehli. We don't own any rights, but we do think it is a song everyone should sing.

Life is meant to be lived and life is meant to be loved, but it can seem impossible when life is difficult. Even so, life was never meant to just be survived, yet so many find themselves just getting by. Living for the weekend. Waiting for something good to happen. Do you live the life you love? Do you love the life you live? When life gets unbearable, when the blues come, sometimes the best thing you can do, is sing...The song we use in this episode is "I Love the Life I Live" by Angela Strehli.

The opposite of Artificial Intelligence is Natural Stupidity. Being stupid is our choice and no one else's, so why do we choose to be stupid? As children we have an insatiable hunger to know things. It seems kids want to know everything. Then we get older, instead of pursuing knowledge, we just copy other people's thoughts and stop thinking for ourselves. Truth is, knowledge comes from reading and studying as well as experiences. This means that our knowledge is just that...OURS. Sometimes people disagree with us because they don't have the same experiences we do. Their knowledge is not ours. The song we use in this episode is "Take Me To The River" by The Talking Heads. We don't own any rights.Here is the link to Charlotte Ann Tucker's TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@charlotteanntucker/video/7255301548752768299Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/HappyLifeStudiosEmail: Podcast@HappyLife.StudioYo Stevo Hotline: (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage: www.HappyLife.lolYouTube: www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysTikTok: www.tiktok.com

What do you do when you think life is going to be one thing and it turns out to be something completely and dreadfully different? Jane Marczewski, otherwise known as Nightbirde, knows the answer to this difficult question and I think you're going to love her answer, as well as her inspirational, beautiful and powerful story.The songs we use in this episode are "New Years Eve" and "It's OK" both by Nightbirde.

Merry 4th of July Eve! Join us, in this episode, as we celebrate our freedom, this freedom day (or should I say freedom days)? Racism is such a hot, important, dominant topic today. And even though The United States of America passed The Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery 160 years ago, many slaves were never informed and therefore continued to live in servitude. Some for another two and a half years, believe it or not! The same is true today. Even though we are free, many continue to live in bondage to modern day slaveholders because they don't even realize that they are enslaved. That same darkness that used people to create slavery centuries ago, is trying to put us in to captivity today as well. So, while we point the finger at the slavery and slave owners of the past, let's not give a free pass to the slave owners of today, who are just as brutal, if not more, than their predecessors. Listen and see what we're talking about. You'll be Happy you did...trust me.Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/H

It’s been said that moms get flowers, but dads get guilt trips. Often, fathers book those trips themselves when they go cruising down memory lane, only to be reminded of the remorse, regrets, and “shoulda’s.”With that in mind, Stevo and MoJOE have teamed up to remind dads of their FLAWsomeness. Fathers have their flaws to be sure (who doesn’t?), but that does not diminish their awesomeness. Flaws only enhance it, making Dads Flawsome!Whether you are a dad, want to be a dad, or ever had a dad — for better or for worse — we invite you to tune in and recognize your own FLAWsomeness, as well as the flawsomeness in others. Contact usHappy Life StudiosLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/HappyLifeStudiosEmail: Podcast@HappyLife.StudioYo Stevo Hotline: (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage: www.HappyLife.lolYouTube: www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@happylifestudiosFacebook: www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudiosInstagram: www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_StudiosTwitter: www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudiosMoJoe StudioVoicemail; (657) 24

One quote. One video. One question. One brand new word. Listen, because you don't want to miss any of them.What happens when you take a Happy Life Studios video and mix it with a quote from MoJoe Studio? You get a question that leads us to the invention of a brand new word - Flawsome. That's what you are. We all have flaws which is good. Flaws are the place that real love lands...and that's awesome, just like you. Making you flawsome. Here are some of the quotes we used in this episode.  “We are flawed creatures, all of us. Some of us think that means we should fix our flaws. But get rid of my flaws and there would be no one left.” - Sarah Vowell "The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw." - Havelock Ellis "Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw." - William J. H. Boetcker  "Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without." - Confucius Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/HappyLifeStudio

HAPPYLIFE PREMIERE! Welcome to our 2nd episode of LIMELIGHT! Limelight podcasts are a product of Happy Life Studios. They are interviews of MODERN DAY HEROES from around the world that Happy Life Studios highlights and "puts on the stage."In this episode, we interview Lauren Peever, a modern day hero and coffee shop owner. She's a hero, and not because she gives people coffee every day (even though some will say that's a great start), but because of how she does it. Listen, be encouraged, and share with anyone else you know who doesn't see themselves for the hero they are. The songs we used in this episode are "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters and "Everyday Superhero" by Smash Mouth.

Your Happy is closer than it appears. If you don't see it, you just might be looking in the wrong mirror. After all, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see" - Henry David Thoreau.

“You have no clue what is going on with me, you just don’t understand what I’m going through!” If you have been on the receiving end of a statement like that from an emotional teenager, then you know how much raw emotion and frustration can come with those words. That sounds like an over-exaggerated statement spoken out of severe frustration, but if your adolescent child is saying that to you, it is probably one of the most truthful things that has come out of their mouths since they turned thirteen.  Here is a common statement you may hear from the general public about teenagers; “it’s so difficult to be a teenager today.” While that is an accurate statement, most people stop there in their analysis because if we are honest, we really don’t know WHY it’s so hard. We all agree that things are getting tougher for teens seemingly every day, but very few of us have spent enough time in that world to really unpack what makes it so tough. We tend to project our own adolescent experience on to a generation that has

Soon after releasing last week's episode, based on Shakespeare's famous saying that "All the world's a stage", I received a message from fellow Happy Lifer, Joe McCarthy of MoJoe.Studio (one of our brother studios in Southern California). He responded with a saying from Konstantin Stanislavski: "There are no small roles, only small actors.” Instantly, I knew I wanted to do a Part 2 based on this provocative quote. I invited Joe to record this sequel with me, because that quote describes how Joe strives to live every day. I love talking with him, and how I feel afterwards. Take a listen and experience what I'm talking about.

William Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." Many long to be the star of that stage, but there is a weight the headliner carries that the other players on the stage do not carry. It's a weight that can drain us of our Happy. What if we made something bigger than us the superstar instead? What if we made Love the star of the stage? What if Happy was the headliner of our show and we were simply background singers on this stage so much bigger than us? A stage that only something as large as Hope, or Love, or Happy can fill.The songs we use in this episode are "Fresh" by Kool and the Gang and "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley.

When many people think of God or religion they think of this image, but God is so much more than a relic. Easter is over.
