  • Why Goals Keep Failing You-Dan Hinz Explains What Works

    Why Goals Keep Failing You-Dan Hinz Explains What Works
    Jan 20 2026
    Growth doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from awareness, honesty, and the courage to try again differently. Today, I’m back with my friend Dan Hinz for a conversation that goes deeper into habits, health, mindset, and what it really looks like to invest in yourself over the long haul. We talk about systems versus goals, why daily habits matter more than big promises, and how psychology plays a bigger role in change than strategy ever will. Dan shares how coaching helped him identify blind spots, pivot careers, and create sustainable habits around work, health, and life. I also open up about what it means to be “happy” and still have hard days, and why doing the next right thing is often enough.

    Dec 22 2025
    This week, I’m sitting down with someone whose life and leadership reflect one simple truth: the most meaningful relationships are the ones that see more in you than you see in yourself. Mayor Allan Branch is a walking example of that.

Allan shares how art, software, and public service all fit into his creative brain, and how the kindness he received growing up fuels the way he leads today. This conversation is a reminder that the soul of a city is built by people who care enough to imagine something better and work toward it every day.

  • When Looking Back Helps You Move Forward

    When Looking Back Helps You Move Forward
    Dec 15 2025
    Sometimes I say, “Don’t look in the rearview mirror. That’s not where you’re going.” But today I’m sharing why looking back can be holy work. When we glance over our shoulder with an open heart, we remember just how far God has brought us and how much He can still do when we keep our hands open and ready to receive. In this episode, I talk about the seasons that shaped me: the years of working three jobs, the embarrassment I carried, the kindness that kept my lights on, and the moments when God used people to love me back to life. And now, standing in this beautiful building and walking in blessings I once prayed for, I’m reminded why gratitude is the fuel that moves us forward. If you’re in a hard season, I hope my stories remind you that you’ve made it through every hard day so far and you’ll make it through this one too. Look back only long enough to say, “Thank You,” then let faith lead you on.

    Episode Highlights:
    [00:00] Welcoming our newest sponsor: Buffalo Rock Pepsi
    [01:00] Why looking back can deepen gratitude
    [02:00] Letting go, letting God, and speaking to Impact 100
    [03:00] Learning to trust your voice even when fear shows up
    [04:00] Humbling jobs, old uniforms, and the embarrassment that shaped me
    [05:00] The moment I couldn’t afford power and prayed for a way forward
    [06:00] When community loved me through my hardest Christmas
    [07:00] Walking into blessings I once begged God for
    [08:00] Keeping your hands open so God can fill them
    [09:00] Reframing lack with “It’s not in my budget”
    [10:00] Using the past as proof that you can survive anything
    [11:00] Protecting your peace from negativity
    [12:00] Letting your story become someone else’s hope
    [13:00] Sponsor gratitude and reflecting on generosity

Erle shares stories from his Alabama roots, the winding path that led him to leadership, and the deep love he carries for people, boating, gratitude, and those spirited little dachshunds of his.We also talk about the power of letting go, how forgiveness clears the way for new blessings, and why mind, body, and spirit aren’t meant to grow separately they strengthen one another. This episode is a reminder that when we stay open, God brings the most unexpected and lovely people into our lives… and life gets sweeter than we ever imagined.Episode Highlights:[02:00] Erle’s Alabama roots and 30-year chapter in Birmingham[04:00] How flipping houses led to a real estate career[05:00] Why the Emerald Coast felt like “second gear” and home[08:00] The joy of helping agents and clients find their place[09:00] Karen’s mission field and gifts beyond real estate[10:00] Childhood dreams: journalism, politics, and God’s redirection[12:00] The incredible culture at Beachy Beach and PPG[14:00] Childhood beach memories and why the water heals[16:00] Daily rituals: gratitude, prayer, and keeping your side clean[19:00] Letting go, forgiveness, and making room for new blessings[22:00] “Put a comma in it”: learning to pause and breathe[23:00] Going big, playing small, and the seasons that shape us[25:00] Gratitude lists and the gift of being on someone’s heartSpecial Thanks to Our SponsorsCan’t Hide Pretty https://www.canthidepretty.comJute & Palm https://www.juteandpalm.comMinutes and Miles – Chicken Legs Running Apparel https://minutesandmiles.comHue Salon & Boutique https://huesalonandboutique.comShore House Furniture https://shorehousefurniture.comHoliday Beach Mechanical https://holidaybeachmechanical.comAmor Boutique https://amorboutiquepc.comAmerican Home Shield Warranty – Chris DicksonCall: (850) 568-5142 https://www.ahs.comLending Hand Mortgage – Kevin Kenerson https://lendinghandmortgage.comBay Tax – Brian Yormack https://bay.taxLucky’s Pine Straw https://luckiespinestraw.comLet’s Stay ConnectedFollow along @MyHappyAssLife on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube so you never miss an episode.🎙 Presented by ADF MediaBe sweet, y’all! 💛
