Living On Purpose

Welcome to Living On Purpose week!

Living on purpose isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about rising up and becoming the best version of you. But amidst the chaotic rush of our days it’s easy to get caught up in the “doing”. And when we hyper-focus on doing, we often neglect the important and intentional act of reflection.

Today best-selling author Tanya Dalton brings us both cutting-edge research and practical inspiration to help you find the unhurried purpose that’s hidden in your days.

Stay tuned for Thursday’s related episode in which we discuss how to break a bad habit, for good.

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
