Happiness Hopecast
We talk about our experiences in the pursuit of joy, hope and happiness. After 24 years of marriage we have been through a lot! We share our personal struggles with mental health and steps we've taken to enrich our lives. 2020 had given us the opportunity to face ourselves and gain introspection on what's important and how we want to live our lives better!
Ginny and I talk a little bit about how our brains work and how motivation works. People say losing weight and getting healthy is easy, just eat less and exercise more but there's more to it.
We took some time off at ClubMed in Florida and decided to record a little podcast. We get into some things that have been bothering Ginny and her work life.
In this episode we talk about letting go, even letting go of helping others. Its never a bad thing to help but sometimes your help isn't the best help you can offer others. Apologies for the background noise, we are in the car on our way for another off road jeeping trip!
We took a trip to the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado in our Jeep. It was a 4 hour drive so we decided to do our podcast from the car! It was my, Shane's, birthday too!

We talk about another miracle that happened where we were $34,000 in credit card debt and how it lead to us finding our dream home half price!

This is the first in a series where we talk about miracles we have personally experienced. Miracles can be defined in many ways, the stories we will talk about are things we prayed for, then something happened. Many times what happens next isn't always what we expected, sometimes it is better than what we thought was even possible.
We talk about how your emotions drive your choices which add up to the life you have today. You can start making better choices today if you'd like things to change. We talk about strategies to help you make better choices and ultimately improve your quality of life.
We get in depth behind the psychology of goal setting and how it might bring happiness and joy to your life..
Ginny talks about small groups we did to help us and our friends increase our happiness in our lives. We recorded this in Ginny's closet, so the audio quality is a little less than we wanted but I hope you can still enjoy it.
Just a quick warning, we talk about some delicate topics like suicide and Shane's personal story with mental health.
