Love, Sweet Love Inspiring examples of why love IS what the world needs now – and how our health and wellbeing depend on it
Inspiring conversations with folks – from kids to seniors, from authors to artists, from researchers to doctors, from teachers to school districts -- who are intentionally creating awareness and knowledge, through projects, programs and even systems, to foster care, love, compassion, and joy in this world, so that we can be healthier, happier, and more fulfilled.
Gayle Beavil, passionate educator, speaker, facilitator, and decades-long seeker of what it takes to thrive, speaks with these folks to find out why they do what they do, how they are doing it, and what they say are the vital connections to our health and happiness.
Join Gayle for informative and inspiring stories and interviews, as she celebrates the good around us, and uncovers what we need, to have a healthier, more loving, society. Gayle knows that what we shine light on, grows, and she thinks that shining light on relationships, care, community, and all the aspects of “love, sweet love” (as Bacharach and David wrote over 50 years ago), is indeed, “what the world needs now”. This is “Love, Sweet Love”.

Ep 27 What Makes Us Happier - TIME DOES! Why Time Matters, and 9 Ways to Get It In Your Busy Life
Anyone who has been a busy mom (I had three kids in 6 years) and worked part time as a teacher. It was so busy and stressful at times. I was exhausted. I had no time for myself. Sound familiar?
Studies show that what is most correlated with our happiness, is the sense that we have more TIME to enjoy our lives. Time actually matters more to your happiness than money, or anything else, according to Yale’s Dr. Laurie Santos, who studies and teaches about the Science of Happiness. She calls this “time affluence”.
I know one of the factors of busy-mom-ness is the factor that we have no time. We are rushed. We are frantic. We are multitasking. It makes sense that I did not feel very happy sometimes at home. I must say here that there were MANY, many times of delight and fun and happiness and gratitude, amongst the stress, but I believe if I had known the important impact of time and our happiness in that phase of my life, I might have treated myself differently. Prioritized myself differently.
In this episode, I will share with you what exactly “time affluence” is, and why research says it is so key to our levels of happiness. You will hear where money fits into the equation, the effect of being frazzled, busy and pulled in all directions, has on our lives, how time affluence works and its effects on our mood and our overall health, and, maybe most importantly, I will share 9 strategies that will help you get more time to enjoy your life.
I think you will find this episode surprising and inspiring and I hope it motivates you to get some more of this important, sometimes elusive, entity in your life.Thank you for being here. I appreciate your time so much and I know you will benefit from this episode. Enjoy!

When I mention “time blocking” and my mentor, my mentor is from a wonderful women’s business and mentorship group I’m in, called “Living in Balance”. I highly recommend this group for female entrepreneurs and business owners.
