September 25, 2019 Independent Enough, Part 3 - Self-Reflection
In our third episode in the series with psychotherapist, Larry Shushanski, author of the book Independent Enough, we talk about the practice of self-reflection. This is the second step in becoming independent enough. Helena and Buck do some real inner Work with Larry as they go beyond the concept of self-reflection and start to actually practice it, starting with a rather uncomfortable real life difficulty that involves trust. Trust is not as simple as it sounds. Listen in!

June 12, 2019 Independent Enough
As we open season 2 of Discovering Happiness, this episode features a a conversation with psychotherapist and author, Larry Shusansky.
Buck and Helena talk with Larry about his book, "Independent Enough." Although, it is more than a book; it’s a relationship theory. Often times, many of us believe that our unhappiness is the result of what’s going on outside of us. Larry’s theory is that the real power to resolve conflict comes from within us - but only when we become Independent Enough. List

December 20, 2018 Communication Solves Conflict
Conflict is everywhere! It’s in our work life, our family life, and our relationships. If the principle that “we attract our lives” holds true, and we see that there is conflict all around us, then what can we do? Well, howsabout putting the principle to work to see how we are conflicted within ourselves as a way of resolving the chaos around us? Get ready to go on an inner adventure with Buck and me as we reveal what we see in ourselves, and how that is reflected back to us in the looking glass of life. Listen in!

November 21, 2018 Aims Instead of Autopilot
How does Buck deal with MS? What can an "aim" do to get us closer to happiness?
What we project outwardly attracts the life we live, but making aims can change the level at which we move through life. In The Work, we call it "Level of Being", and when you put aims in practice, you begin to take all this knowledge and transform it into real life happiness. Listen in!

November 08, 2018 Manage Your Anger by Turning the Arrow Inward
Everywhere we turn, there’s a reason to be frustrated or angry. Usually, the anger is directed at someone in particular. Whether this person deserves our anger doesn’t matter. The point is that we have some junk to digest. Anger is serious junk, and we need to move it through our system so we don’t hold on to it and allow it to poison the whole of us. In this episode, we talk about ways in which we can digest these damaging feelings, learn something from them, and free ourselves from their ill effects

October 11, 2018 Emotional Digestion
As we search for happiness, we often are faced with obstacles. One way to remove those obstacles is to digest them, very much like the way our bodies digest food. Many people avoid dealing with difficult emotions, and therefore never benefit from the process of digesting them. In this episode, we compare the digestive process of the human body to the digestive process of emotions. When we lighten those loads, we feel the freedom of happiness. Listen in!

September 28, 2018 The Masculine Spirit
Buck has high aspirations for the development of his masculine spirit. This isn’t something any of us think about too often, and it’s not something we are taught in school. But perhaps he’s onto something. Stick around as we discuss the psychological and emotional trappings that keep men from realizing their dreams, and how a guy’s inner workings can be put back into balance. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and it all leads to…happiness. Listen in!
