We spend our lives balancing two forces: the actions we take (what we do) and the emotions that shape our inner world (how we feel).

Last week, I addressed the first with a podcast episode titled The Shortcut to Self-Discipline (click here if you missed it), which teaches how we can get ourselves to do what we need to do, when we need to do it—whether we feel like it or not.

This week, I’m giving you The Blueprint for Inner Bliss.

What is inner bliss?

It’s that state of genuine and sustained contentment, gratitude, and joy that doesn’t depend on external events and enables you to maintain optimal mental and emotional states, even when life feels chaotic, uncertain, or out of control.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why fulfillment comes down to two things: what you do and how you feel
• The 3 pillars of inner bliss and how to practice each one daily
• How comparison keeps you from happiness—and how to break free from it
• Why defining your purpose doesn’t need to be perfect
• A simple, powerful morning practice to cultivate peace and fulfillment

According to  a 75-year-old Harvard study on happiness, the single greatest predictor of a happy and long life is close, healthy relationships. But when a close relationship fractures, whether that’s with a close friend or especially your spouse, it can have a devastating impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing that can take months, if not years to overcome.

So today, I want to share a 5-step process for repairing and healing damaged relationships that’s truly been transformative in my own life. Over the past 6 months, I’ve repaired my relationship with my daughter and with my wife on more than one occasion. Whether you're the one who’s been hurt or the one who’s done the hurting, there’s a path forward—and it starts with humility, empathy, and a willingness to grow.

What I’ve found is that in order to move forward, we have to learn how to shift from blame to responsibility, how to truly listen to someone else’s pain without defensiveness, and why forgiveness—both for yourself and others—is essential to healing. This isn’t about quick fixes or pretending everything is okay. It’s about doing the hard but meaningful work of showing up with love, honesty, and vulnerability to restore the relationships that matter most in your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why healing a broken relationship starts with taking 100% responsibility
• The importance of listening without judgment—even if it’s uncomfortable
• Forgivingness can be difficult, but liberating yourself from anger is much healthier
• You can’t force or rush the healing process or rebuild trust. It takes time
• Practical steps to begin the healing process, even if the other person isn’t ready.
