Thrive in Real Life
Knowing better doesn't always mean living better. Thrive in Real Life is a podcast about the gap between how we genuinely want to live and how we're actually living—especially when life gets tired, busy, emotional, relational, or complicated. Psychologists Joel Pukalo and Chantal Seymour bring practical psychology, honest conversation, different perspectives, and real-life experience to explore what keeps those gaps open and what can actually help close them. Each season takes that question into a different part of real life. Season One, Helping the Next Generation Thrive, explores parenting and the many adults who help children and young people grow—because good support isn't simply about knowing the right thing to do. It has to fit the unique child and the real adult in the room. This isn't about getting life right all the time. It's about understanding ourselves and the people around us more clearly, taking realistic steps, and becoming more able to live what matters—more often, in real life. Thrive in Real Life is supported by ThriveLife Foundation.

What if we slowed down long enough each day to notice the good happening around us—and the people who are making a difference?
Life can be busy, stressful, and genuinely hard. Gratitude isn't about ignoring what's difficult. It's about putting on our “gratitude glasses” and making space to notice, appreciate, and name the good that is already happening around us.

Take the challenge...
What does it actually mean to be grateful when life is challenging?
We've all heard that we should count our blessings, focus on the positive, or appreciate what we have. But when you're exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, or struggling, gratitude can feel like just another thing you're supposed to be doing.
In this episode of Thrive in Real Life, registered psychologists Joel and Chantal explore what gratitude really looks like in e...
Most parents and teachers don't need to be convinced that connection matters. The harder question is: Why, when we care so deeply about kids, can there still be such a gap between how we want to show up and what happens in real life? In Season 1, Episode 1 of Thrive in Real Life, Joel and Chantal explore the connection gap—and what it actually looks like to start crossing the bridge.
They get real about the things that widen t...
Why can we know exactly how we want to show up—and still struggle to actually do it? Maybe you want to be a more patient parent, a more present partner, take better care of yourself, or handle stressful moments differently. You can see the person you want to be, but real life gets in the way. Stress, limited capacity, old patterns, discomfort, work, parenting, relationships—it can all create a gap between where we are a...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
