The Modern Sage Podcast
The Modern Sage Podcast offers no-nonsense sage advice to support your spiritual and emotional health. Beginning Season 4, Ep 1, Leah shares her personal story of living in a spirited, (haunted) house, and the deep transformation she underwent as a result of surrendering to the invitation to trust the darkness. She shares these stories as inspiration so the listener can relate to their own stories and inner darkness, and learn how to heal the ghosts of the past.
In the first 3 seasons, Leah interviews experts, authors, healers, musicians, entrepreneurs, celebrities and everyday heroes who know life's struggles, and sharing ways they've learned to be inspired and heal. The focus is on emotional healing and mental health with a good dose of secular spiritualism mixed in.
This series is hosted by author and intuitive spiritual teacher Leah Guy. Her aim is to make visible the reality of hope, to welcome change and transformation while acknowledging our humanity so that we can grow into whole, happy and satisfied people.

Why Pursuing Happiness is Making You Miserable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The pursuit of happiness has been linked to everything from finding daily balance, self-growth and even the meaning of life. But is being happy the goal? Does happiness provide what you are really looking for?
One thing that's wrong with the philosophy of pursuing happiness is that it traps one in the cycle of the pursuit. Happiness tends to be more superficial, fleeting, and circumstantial depending on experience or reward.
Pursuing happiness is akin to seeking relief.
But relief is not resolution, and there is something much deeper to attain than a feeling of happiness, and that is joy.
