Busyness takes a toll on everyone. Sometimes it takes calling your own bra at the airport to realize you desperately need to slow down. That moment launched Alli Worthington into a year-long quest to change her pace and to begin cultivating a life filled with more contentment. Alli is a speaker, a business couch, an entrepreneur, an author, and a podcaster. On top of that, she’s also a wife and a mother of five sons. Needless to say, she’s got a lot going on. Her latest book is The Year of Living Happy: Finding Contentment and Connection in a Crazy World. And on today’s episode, Alli dives in and gives us practical tips, ideas, and lessons she learned in her fifty-two weeks of striving to live with more happiness. You’ll definitely want to follow Alli’s suggestion and make a “Stop-Doing” list today—it’ll change your life. And y’all be sure to listen all the way to the end, because Alli is going to share her husband Mark’s killer stir-fry recipe, then I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes that will go fabulously with it.

Interview Quotes:

“People ask me all the time “Does your husband like staying home?” Because he’s a Type-A and has his MBA, and he never thought this is what he’d be doing with his MBA. The answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. It’s always a balance, and we’re always checking in going, “Do we still like how this works? Is it good for us? Are we happy?” Because nothing in this life is easy, and no decision that we make is just going to fit us all the time.”

– Alli Worthington

“One of the most important things we can do is make a “stop doing” list.”

– Alli Worthington

“So much of what we think are societal norms is just pressure we put on ourselves. Stay-at-home moms feel like working moms judge them, working moms feel like stay-at-home moms judge them, right? . . . I wonder if we think there are all these norms out there that we should be following and that other people are judging us or questioning what we do, when really everybody’s just trying to survive their own life.”

– Alli Worthington

“I think that for us as Christian women, especially, there is a bit of guilt over seeking happiness. We have believed the lie that happiness is of the world and that we should be meek and joyful, but that is not scriptural. That’s not something that God has ever told people.”

– Alli Worthington

“This discipline of being human beings and not human doings, and just sitting with it—it seems so counterintuitive. And yet that is what research is showing us. It gives us that inner happiness which, to me, it’s representative of a state of our soul.”

“One of my best tips for balance and protecting my happiness is just not being on social media. So if there’s a day when I’m not necessarily emotionally healthy, whether I have PMS or I’m annoyed about something, I don’t allow myself to go on it. Because I realized the more I used it, the less happy I was.”

– Alli Worthington

10 Ways to Engage Your Neighbors at Halloween »

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
