There's good news and there's bad news. There's a pandemic but there's also a happydemic. Fear and Love. Despair and Hope. Darkness will use one way and light the other. The thing I find funniest is when people try to use the way of darkness to guide people to the way of light. That's exactly what happened to me as a kid. Someone literally tried to scare the hell out of me and my generation. Did it work? Listen and find out.The songs we use in this episode are "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" by Larry Norman as well as DC Talk, "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio, "Momma Said Knock You Out" by L.L. Cool J, "La Bamba" by Los Lobos and "Rio" by Duran Duran. We don't own the rights to any of them.Special thanks though to our guest Joseph Espinoza who wrote "I Wish We'd All Be Happy". Also to the interns at Camp Daniel Dillon Crawford, Terrance Jones, Dylan Stonelake and Zech Benoit the instrumentalists who recorded it.

From racism and riots to stresses and viruses, there are a lot of things out there today that can bring fear and anxiety to anybody's minds and hearts. That's why we brought back Nena McCaffrey for another episode to talk about just that, because with a little help, fears and worries are some things we can learn how to handle. Why live in fear and sadness when we can live Happy and free instead? We are so convinced of this that we will be starting a regular podcast and video chat with Nena to teach us weekly helps and hacks to handle worry and fear, because like we always say, "Life isn't perfect, but it can be Happy!" So stay tuned. The song we use in this episode was "Unshackled" by Ecclesia and Kareen Vargas. We don't own any of the rights to it.Contact usEmail; Podcast@HappyLife.StudioVoicemail; (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage; www.HappyLife.lol Facebook; www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios Instagram; www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios Twitter; www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudios YouTube; www.YouTube.com/StevoHay

If J.C. is in the house, it's one thing, but if J.C. is in the van, it's a different thing all together. Which one do you have?This episode we continue on with our communicating with God (Prayer Meetin') series. We will hit 3 more myths/mistakes of prayer. 1) We are not alone no matter what it feels like. 2) We spend too much time letting others tell us who or what God is instead of meeting Him ourselves. 3) We often replace intimacy with instruction.Here is a link to the article we used; https://www.bustle.com/articles/111047-8-signs-your-relationship-could-have-better-communication-and-how-to-get-thatThe songs we use in this episode are "Who's In the House" by Carman and DC Talk and "Just the Two of Us" by Grover Washington Jr. feat.

God doesn't want to control us, He wants to help us. After digging into J.P. Sears' YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vnKPdMXIdo, we will see that God not only wants us to dream, He wants to help us with those dreams. He respects and adores us just the way we are! God doesn't want us to become like someone else, He simply wants us to be the US He made us to be and to communicate with Him like we would with a friend.Email us at Podcast@HappyLife.Studio or Call us at (425)200-4297 (HAYS)and leave us your "Yo Stevo"www.HappyLife.lol www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudios www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysClick here if you would like to help us make this world happierwww.PayPal.me/StevoHays

Talking is not always communicating. Sometimes it's just jabbering away at each other. Prayer is supposed to be about connecting and communicating with the creator of the universe as well as the creator of us. Listen to our 2nd episode of our prayer series and see how well your prayer life really is.Thank you James Kocian, for allowing us to use "Another Perfect Day" and "Still A Kid".

Happy day after Easter. Would you rather live an open life or a closed one? A Happy life or an angry one? A generous life or a stingy one? The choice is ours. We are the presidents of our life. When are we going to take care of our virus so we can open our lives up? COVID-19 isn't the only scary virus out there. Racism, hatred, panic, anger and bitterness are just a few viruses that will keep us quarantined and stop us from living an open life. www.HappyLife.lol www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudios www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysDon't forget to send us your "Yo Stevo" Call us and leave a message at 425.200.4297 (HAYS) orEmail us at YoStevo@HappyLife.StudioHere is the "Follow Through" episode I mentioned https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/happylife/episodes/2016-03-28T06_00_00-07_00The song we used in this episode is "Reset" by Mute MathIf you would like to help us spread some happywww.PayPal.me/StevoHays

Road tripping, 80's music...and Jesus??? What in the world do those 3 have in common?!? To be honest? Everything! I grew up in church believing I hated prayer. However, after a road trip and the 80's station on sirius, I realized it wasn't prayer I disliked, it was the way I was taught I was supposed to pray I couldn't stand. If I knew prayer could look like it did on my road trip, I would have become a "prayer warrior" a long time ago. Wait...prayer can be fun and God loves 80's music??? Yep! Join us for episode 1 of our Prayer Series, as we talk about prayer in ways you've probably never heard from anyone else. (I bet you thought them though). The songs we use in this episode are "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen, "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, "It's Tricky" by Run D.M.C., "Jump" by Van Halen, "Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi, "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns N' Roses, "What's Love Got To Do with It" by Tina Turne

Does this Corona virus have you a little nervous or beyond? COVID-19 got you down? I get it. It's totally natural to feel that way, but you won't after you listen to this episode. COVID-19...you don't win. We do! We will be better after facing you and we will triumph! I know many are talking about this pandemic, and many are tired of hearing about it. Maybe that's because of how a lot of it is being talked about. Let's try something different. Let's do it from a Happy perspective. Is that way even possible??? You better believe it! Don't forget, if you find yourself a little more than concerned and are interested in the free month life coaching, please email us at Coaching@HappyLife.Studiowww.HappyLife.lolwww.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudioswww.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studioswww.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudioswww.YouTube.com/StevoHaysPlease consider helping us spread the Happy...www.PayPal.me/StevoHays

Many know that Dr. Seuss was somewhat of a recluse, but do you know why? It's a legitimate but sad excuse and it has to do with The President of the United States, The Boy Scouts of America, and Mike Mclintock. Who in the world is Mike Mclintock?!?

Happy or not here I come. When I played Hide and Seek with my kids I would always slow down my count until my boys were ready. Life however, doesn't always play that way. It doesn't wait for us to get Happy or ready before it comes at us full force. So what do you do when life hits unexpectedly? Here is 1 picture, 1 verse and 1 video that helped me get through that very thing this week. I'm hoping they will help you as well.The song, "Half of My Heart" we used in this episode was by John Mayer.
