Welcome to The Health, Healing & Happiness Podcast, where natural wellness meets real, imperfect life. Here, we explore the art and science of living well through honest conversation, curiosity, and connection. Each episode blends grounded education with personal experience and meaningful dialogue about holistic practices, emotional resilience, self-care, community, purpose, and the role natural products can play along the way. This is not a space for perfection or performance. It's a return to what's real, the quiet strength of human nature, the wisdom of our bodies, and the shared experiences that remind us we're all still learning how to thrive. Rooted in the belief that wellness should be simple, accessible, and deeply human, The Health, Healing & Happiness Podcast invites you to pause, learn, and reconnect with what makes life feel whole. Because health is more than a habit. Healing is a journey. And happiness is something we create together.

    HHH - Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The "Bubblegum Brain" Shift That Changes Everything

    What if the biggest thing holding us back is a sentence we keep repeating in our own minds? In this roundtable episode of The Health, Healing & Happiness Podcast, we explore the powerful difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset through the lens of the book Bubblegum Brain by Julia Cook. Using the playful metaphor of "bubblegum brain vs brick brain," the conversation looks at how the way we think about our abilities shapes our lives. We talk about how mindset shows up in real life, including parenting, relationships, work, leadership, and everyday habits. From saying "I can't do that" to simply adding the word "yet," small language shifts can open the door to growth, curiosity, and resilience. In this episode we discuss: • The difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset  • How labels and beliefs become "wrappers" that keep us stuck  • Why adding the word "yet" can change the way we approach learning  • The role of community and relationships in personal growth  • Simple phrases and practices that help shift from brick brain to bubblegum brain If you've ever caught yourself saying "I'm just not good at that," this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to move from feeling stuck to becoming more flexible, curious, and capable. Because growth doesn't happen through perfection. It happens through awareness, practice, and the willingness to stretch.

    HHH - The Unhinged Episode: Humor, Boundaries & Being Human

    What happens when a wellness podcast throws out the outline and just gets curious? In this episode of Health, Healing & Happiness, there's no framework, no expert deep dive, and no tidy takeaway. Instead, we ask each other a stack of random, slightly unhinged questions and let the conversation unfold. Topics include:  • How many fries is too many fries  • Are you feral before breakfast  • Would you board a UFO if invited  • Bank account or search history  • Smartest or funniest person in the room  • And what push notification your body wishes it could send you Some answers are ridiculous. Some are surprisingly revealing. All of it is human. Because health is not only about routines, protocols, and optimization. It is also about humor, boundaries, connection, and the way we show up around a table with other people. If you need a break from self-improvement culture and just want to listen to real conversation, this episode is for you. Email us your answers or send in your own unhinged questions at hhh@jadebloom.com. We might use them in a future episode.

    HHH - The Anti-Convenience Diet: Why You Need to Add Friction to Your Life

    Technology has made our lives incredibly frictionless, but it's also made us unable to endure basic hurdles. In this episode, we dive into the philosophy of Friction Maxxing. We discuss how constantly avoiding discomfort leads to anxiety, and how choosing the harder way—the non-optimized way—can actually lead to a more fulfilling life. We'll share examples of how to put down the smartphone, embrace the boredom, and build a stronger, more present mind.

    Discover practical, sustainable ways to move your body and transform your wellness journey in this eye-opening episode of Health, Healing, and Happiness.

You'll discover actionable tips for starting small with just 10-15 minutes of movement, energy-based exercise planning, and how to gamify your fitness with smart guardrails. Whether you're struggling with motivation, dealing with stress-related fatigue, or looking for sustainable fitness solutions, this conversation provides the roadmap to building a movement practice that supports your mental wellbeing while strengthening your body. Learn the secret to fitness that actually works by listening to your body's needs rather than overriding them.

    HHH - Can laziness be productive and meaningful?

    Laziness often carries a negative connotation and can bring shame to our thoughts, especially when we genuinely need time to disconnect and regulate our body and mind. In today's episode, Jenn delves into the concept of laziness and its connection to productivity and recovery. Regular check-ins can help us reframe our approach to scheduled laziness for recovery and manage life's challenges. Burnout is a common issue for many of us, and it's not always tied to employment. Recognizing the triggers and symptoms of burnout before it becomes severe can help us shift our mindset to prioritize productive laziness. Consider how laziness can be a beneficial part of your recovery process. Try one of the suggestions in the episode or come up with your own and share it with us at hhh@jadebloom.com.

    HHH - Redefining Happiness in a World Obsessed With Positivity

    What if happiness isn't something you chase, fix, or force—but a relationship you build? In this episode of Health, Healing & Happiness, we explore a radically kinder perspective on happiness, one that moves beyond toxic positivity and constant pressure to "feel good." Together, we unpack why chasing happiness often backfires, how social expectations shape our emotional lives, and what it means to stay connected to yourself through the full spectrum of emotions. This grounded conversation reframes happiness as alignment, contentment, and self-relationship rather than a fleeting mood or external achievement. We talk about emotional honesty, nervous system health, the cost of masking, and why being present with sadness, fatigue, or overwhelm does not mean you are failing. If you've ever felt exhausted by the pressure to be happy, this episode offers a more sustainable, compassionate approach to emotional wellness—one rooted in self-trust, self-kindness, and long-term well-being.

    HHH - Beginner's Guide to Natural Living

    What does it really mean to "go natural" in a world full of greenwashing, marketing buzzwords, and unrealistic expectations? In this episode of Health, Healing & Happiness, we sit down for an honest, grounded conversation about switching to natural products in a way that is intentional, sustainable, and realistic. This is not about fear, extremes, or throwing everything out overnight. It is about learning to ask better questions, understand ingredient transparency, and make small changes that support your health, your home, and your nervous system over time. We explore what "natural" actually means, how marketing terms like natural flavors can be misleading, and why cumulative exposure matters when it comes to skincare, cleaning products, food, and the environment we live in every day. From eczema and headaches to hormone disruption and sensitivities, this episode highlights why many people start making natural switches and how to do it without overwhelm. If you're curious about natural living, clean ingredients, essential oils, or reducing chemical exposure in a practical way, this episode will help you feel informed, empowered, and less alone in the process.
