Episode 120: Autumnal Equinox (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Happiness Through Creating , we use the autumnal equinox as a doorway into a different way of understanding balance — not as a fixed state, but as something we move through. We explore the science of allostasis and the idea that healthy systems find stability through change, adaptation, and recovery. We connect that rhythm to the Creation Cycle, reminding ourselves that creating involves seasons of effort and rest, beginning and completion, expression and reflection. The equin
Episode 54: "Peace Train" by Yusuf/ Cat Stevens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this Music Monday episode, we explore Cat Stevens’ “Peace Train” as an invitation to actively move toward peace rather than simply wait for it. We look at how Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian traditions understand peace as more than the absence of conflict — as wholeness, reconciliation, courage, and a way of living.

Episode 118: El Grito de Dolores (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Happiness Through Creating , we explore El Gritode Dolores and the moment Miguel Hidalgo chose to act, before the plan was perfect and the outcome was certain.

We look at how one person’s voice gave shape to a shared feeling and how a single act can become something much larger than its creator ever imagined. Because we may not know where our w
Music Monday: "Rise Up" by Andra Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Happiness Through Creating, we explore Andra Day’s “Rise Up” and the powerful idea that sometimes we need someone else to see our strength before we can see it ourselves. We look at how hope, connection, and creativity can help us navigate difficult seasons without pretending the ache isn’t there. We also explore how a deeply personal song became a shared anthem, reminding us that what we create from our own experience can resonate with others in ways we never expected. Togeth
