What do ferns, coastlines, and your inner life have in common? In this reflective episode, we explore fractals—those endlessly repeating patterns in nature—and how they mirror the patterns in ourselves. Through science, story, and original poetry, we uncover how the smallest choices, habits, and emotions ripple into our larger lives. Plus, we take a fresh look at happiness as a fractal: not something distant, but a pattern of micro-joys that build a beautiful whole. If you're craving a blend of wonder, introspection, and gentle insight—this one's for you.

On this Constitution Day, host Brian Barlow explores one of history’s most powerful acts of creation, not just the founding of a nation, but the courageous life of Susan B. Anthony. In a time when women had no voice in politics, Anthony dared to create change: through speeches, partnerships, organizing, and one audacious vote that challenged the Constitution itself.

This episode unpacks how Susan B. Anthony didn’t just fight for a better future — she created it. Learn how she built movements, endured resistance, and found happiness not in outcomes, but in action. Her story is a reminder that joy comes from building something meaningful — even when the odds are against you.

✨ “I pray every second for a heart to do the work and a soul to feel the joy of doing it.” — Susan B. Anthony

Welcome to Happiness Through Creating! This week I’m kicking off something new:

Music Mondays — where I share a song from my Becoming Playlist and connect it to the science and principles of happiness through creation.

Today’s track is “How They Remember You” by Rascal Flatts — a powerful reflection on legacy, character, and how we show up in the relationships that matter most. It’s not about fame — it’s about impact.

Using this song, I explore 4 powerful forces of opposition that every creator faces:

1. Doubt

2. Distraction

3. Delay

4. Distortion

Whether you’re creating art, a business, or meaningful relationships, you’ll face opposition. But the joy of creating isn’t in perfection or praise, it’s in becoming who you’re truly meant to be.
