What if you could tap into a deeper, intuitive understanding of yourself and the world? That’s exactly what Happy Ali, author of The Intuition Bible: How and When to Tap Into Your Inner Wisdom, teaches us. A master NLP practitioner and clinical hypnotherapist, Happy’s journey began with an extraordinary life event—a self-induced near-death experience that changed his perspective forever. Emerging from despair with newfound clarity, he legally adopted the name Happy to reflect his commitment to joy and positivity.
Happy’s story is a testament to the power of intuition and perspective. His journey has not been without hardship—losing a son at a young age being one of his greatest challenges—but his ability to reframe and access inner wisdom has allowed him to thrive and help others. For Happy, the secret to happiness lies in perspective: “Life offers two pools—muddy or clear water—and the choice of where to swim is yours.”
If you’re seeking practical ways to enhance your intuition, Happy suggests starting small. Try this: ask yourself a question with a clear “yes” or “no” answer and focus on the sensations in your body. Over time, you’ll learn to trust your inner compass. As Happy says, “Your intuition is like a whisper—it’s quiet but powerful, guiding you to a more fulfilling life.”
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
Don't look at life as something fixed and don't look at yourself as something that's trapped in a box of your own judgment and other people's beliefs. There is so much more to this world and the only way to access the best version of you is to release these preconceived notions of who you think you are and who others are. Just play in this world, be more curious, bring back the child within you that didn't care about results and just played because there is so much more to this world. And you're never alone. There's always lots of, whether it's your subconscious or your spirit guides or God or angels, you always have eternal support and it only can be accessed when you open your mind up to it and allow that information to come through. Because life is hard enough to do it on your own. So let's not do it on our own.

In this episode of The Daily Helping, host Dr. Richard Shuster sits down with Dr. Victoria Rader, a renowned possibility coach and founder of YU2Shine, whose pioneering work in quantum personal development is transforming lives worldwide. With her expertise in blending quantum techniques and spiritual wisdom, Victoria empowers individuals to break free from limitations and embrace their fullest potential. She has authored best-selling books, developed transformative tools like the Empower-mE apps, and her teachings have been featured across prominent media outlets.
Victoria shares her inspiring journey, starting with her early experiences of deep intuition and personal challenges growing up in the Soviet Union, which led her to a profound understanding of internal freedom. From her “quantum pioneer” perspective, Victoria explains how quantum science opens doors to infinite possibilities and sheds light on the “law of receiving and giving.” This revolutionary law challenges conventional wisdom on abundance by emphasizing that genuine prosperity flows when we first receive fully, allowing us to give unconditionally.
This conversation dives deep into how self-sabotage and hidden beliefs can limit us, and Victoria offers actionable insights for breaking these patterns. She highlights the importance of embracing our unique differences and provides a free resource on overcoming self-sabotaging behaviors to help listeners take meaningful steps toward a life of purpose and abundance.

If this infinite universe had a better way to fill in the place and time that you currently occupy, it would have done so. But it has not. So you, as you are, are an exact, intricate, beautiful, powerful, magnificent piece of the puzzle. Remember that and start releasing everything that's unworthy of that.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
Not only are you loved– and I know that's like, oh, you just say that– man, woman, it doesn't matter to me. When we can understand that love is just like empathy, it's our superpower. I love you all. I love you, Dr. Richard, I just met you. Why? Because you're a person on your journey, trying to do good for other people and that's worthy and deserving. And I just wish all people would understand that you deserve to be loved, regardless of the thoughts you've had, the choices you've made, the mistakes you've made, the people you've hurt, the wrong you've done, regardless of all of it, you deserve to be loved. And you have to start by accepting that and acknowledging that and understanding that for yourself. Because when you accept your own truth of “I am worthy and I am lovable,” it makes it so much easier to connect with other people and love them as well.

In this episode of The Daily Helping, Dr. Richard Shuster sits down with award-winning journalist and international correspondent Chris Herlinger, who shares powerful stories of his humanitarian reporting, particularly from his recent coverage of Ukraine. Chris, a correspondent for Global Sisters Report and a long-time journalist on humanitarian efforts, discusses his new book, Solidarity and Mercy, which sheds light on the resilience and dignity of those caught in conflict, especially through the work of Catholic sisters in war zones.
From covering global conflicts to witnessing the faith-based efforts of religious communities, Chris brings a unique perspective to how humanitarian workers are affirming the dignity and humanity of those in need. Whether you're religious or not, the conversation is deeply moving, exploring not only the struggles of war but also the small, compassionate acts that restore hope.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
The war in Ukraine is a great tragedy. I mean any war is tragic, I think, but certainly this is particularly tragic because I don't think it was at all necessary and not justified. You know, this is an imperialist land grab on the part of Russia. I think something that Russia has been committed to is to sort of reimpose a Russian reality on Ukraine. The Ukrainians are very, very nationalistic. They're very patriotic. It's just a tragedy all around.
And yet, and yet in the midst of this tragedy, there's been a global, this of course was more at the beginning of the war than it is right now, but there was a global response that I think was remarkable and helped Ukrainians get to safer places. And I think that kind of global commitment is not only necessary, but I think it says something very, very good about humanity and what humanity can do. I think the work of the sisters and the work of the church continues, and the church, whatever you may feel about organized religion, whatever you may feel about the Catholic church in particular– the Catholic Church is in the world, and in Ukraine, of course, it's a minority church. The Orthodox Church is the predominant church in Ukraine, but the Catholic Church is rooted throughout the world. I think the Catholic Church does help and affirm the dignity of people in these awful situations. I think that that's a remarkable story.
And as I said earlier, it goes back to thousands of years rooted in the gospel. I think that thread that binds the current day to the past and to the gospel story is really fascinating and moving and a beautiful thing,

When Rachel Kaplan was 14 years old, her first true love ended his life. Ever since then, she has pursued how to emotionally heal. Now, she has combined what she learned in a book, “Feel, Heal, and Let That Sh*t Go.” Rachel joins us on the show today.
Rachel’s book is deeply based in research and theory, but her explanations are clear enough that a child could understand. She calls her approach “emotional potty training,” where, just like poop, we need to let emotions move through our bodies and then exit in a healthy way.
We talk about numbing emotions, core wounds, sensitivity, and shame. Rachel has an incredible knack for weaving together science, spirituality, and plain-speaking. Don’t miss this episode!
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
You have the power within you. Like you don't necessarily even need a therapist. What you need is to cultivate this relationship between these parts of you and that it's really about being willing to turn toward the pain that you're carrying and just let yourself have it, let yourself clear it. And that is the single most important / only way to feel better is to feel how you actually feel.

When Alex first noticed it, she was 12 years old. She thought she had something in her eye, and then suddenly she couldn’t see out of it. A few months later, she was playing softball and felt like she pulled a muscle in her neck that sent pain across her body. It took five years of misdiagnoses, with progressive blindness and paralysis, for Alex to finally be properly diagnosed. She had a rare disease called Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD).
Alex joins us on the show today to share her journey with a rare disease and encourage others who are facing medical uncertainty. Today, she is the first blind woman ever to earn a yellow belt in Krav Maga and she’s a successful power lifter.

Dr. Andrew Kadar was a former UCLA gymnast, he ran 10ks, he had never smoked or been overweight. So when he suddenly had chest pain when exercising, he had no idea the health journey he was about to go on. Dr. Kadar is our guest on the show today and author of the new book, “Getting Better: A Doctor's Story of Resilience, Recovery and Renewal.”
Dr. Kadar recounts the most important lessons he learned throughout his ordeal, starting with the call to his primary care doctor’s office, through his major surgery, to the active lifestyle he enjoys again today
As Dr. Kadar points out, when you have a major illness, you have to expect the unexpected. However, thanks to his new book, now you can be at least a little more prepared.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
If you're having symptoms, the best way to deal with them is to take it away from yourself. And there are twin dangers there. One is denial, which is you disregard something that's important. The other is becoming a hypochondriac and thinking everything is horrible. And by taking it away from yourself, you're likely to be more realistic. You're not gonna interpret a headache as a brain tumor. And you're not gonna disregard chest pain that comes up with exercise and goes away with rest. So I think that's one thing that I would like people to remember is that if they're having some symptoms, think about how you would advise your best friend or anybody else who came to you with the same set of symptoms and what you think they should do. as the wise scores of action.

You can't have what you want, but you may experience what you have. So make sure that on a day to day basis, you're actually operating from enough gratitude or you have the blinders off and you see what's really going on. Because we can all be bamboozled into the weapon of mass distraction, into consumerism, into chasing the next high. But the work is to get high on your own supply. Because from that space you get to have everything. It's all frequency. And so when I'm operating from the frequency of love and gratitude, it's easy.

At my age, I consider myself a young elder. And because my teachers taught into their 90s and even some into their hundreds. So I'm pretty young at 73. But I'm very ambitious for other people. I'm not very ambitious for myself. I've lived a really full life. I've had a wonderful career. So now I'm doing work. A lot of younger people are helping me in my work. I am so ambitious for them. I want them to do well. So I had a rabbi I studied with, Zalman Shachter, he wrote a book called From Aging to Saging. And I think elders need to make sure that they pass on what's valuable. And I think that's my main way of serving right now. The other thing that is important is this book, because I know- Michael and I know- so much about human movement in relation to the quality of life, that we wanna give that away as a present to people. And so that's another way that we're trying to serve.

This episode is a rebroadcast of an interview with John Ruhlin. John unexpectedly passed away recently. He leaves behind a wife and four young children. We’re rebroadcasting this episode to both remind us of the beautiful legacy John created, and to encourage listeners to consider donating to his children’s education fund.
John truly cared about helping people and making the world better. His “Biggest Helping” advice was to give more than is reasonable. I hope you’ll join me in following his lead as we support his family during this heartbreaking time.
The GoFundMe link is in the Resources section below.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
You'll never regret giving more than is reasonable in most situations. People hold back five or ten percent in relationships. We don't want to be taken advantage of. We're afraid of getting hurt. Paul lived his life the exact opposite. He would he always asked himself, what's the most I can do in the situation? And when you live life like that you show up at a huge show up at pizza shop and he'd be like what's the most I can do here I can pick up the tab for the entire restaurant it's gonna cost 800 bucks but all the I love 90% of these people I know and I love and he would just do it that's just who he was and so I picked up that mentality and do I do it perfectly? No. Sometimes I suck sometimes my wife you know thinks I'm a jerk like I'm not perfect in it but the idea of giving more than is reasonable and going all in on people like that's where you separate yourself and give that, you know, everybody says go the extra mile, give 110%. But I don't think they actually actually live it. And they're willing to do that with their time and with their pocketbook. When you do that with whatever level you're at, people notice it shocks and awes them. You become memorable in their mind. And so I would say that give more than is reasonable is the thing that I've tried to live my life around and build my life on and it's it's paid back huge dividends and it's just fun.

Sam Bennett is a writer, speaker, actor, instructor, and productivity specialist. In her words, she has followed a trail of “sparkling breadcrumbs” to build a fulfilling life for herself. If you wish that could be you, don’t worry it can. Sam explains how in her “The 15 Minute Method” book, and as a guest on our podcast today.
The key for Sam is experimentation. Set aside 15 minutes to just do a little bit of what you want to do. Schedule it in your calendar to make sure you actually do it. See if you like what you’ve chosen to do. See if you don’t. Observe how the act of doing it changed you. Yes, even tasks like cleaning out your garage can follow this method. Break down overwhelming tasks into doable pieces.
This interview with Sam is a delight. Be sure to check out all her books, follow her on her socials, and maybe even keep an eye out for her in reruns of the Drew Carey Show and Modern Family!

I have an acute awareness that we are not here for very long. We do not have an unlimited amount of time in which to make our contributions to the world, in which to do the things that we love to do. And we don't know how long it is. So if there is something that is on your heart to do, this is it. Start now. Start today.

Dr. Iscovich, or “Dr. I” is our guest on the program today and author of “The Art of Routine.” He explains that routines are found throughout human physiology: Circadian rhythms, postprandial tides, the gastro-colic reflex, etc. He points out that the power of routine also appears in longevity studies and in cultures across the globe.

Rather than increase distractions, technology should be designed to help us stay focused on healthy routines.
If you’re looking for one man’s incredible life story and incisive insights into human nature, look no further. Dr. Angel Iscovich brings all that and more in today’s episode.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
Activate your unique gifts and then share them with the world. I wrote “Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow” to be of service to parents everywhere. And what I found is that in being of service to others, it has really changed my life from the ground up. And, you know, for me, one of my gifts is promoting wellness and intentional living for parents and children alike and, you know, becoming an author has open doors that never would have opened had I not been brave enough to put pen to paper, you know? And so I think to share with your listeners that, you know, The world needs more people to turn on their individual light and to live their truth in a way that makes a difference for humanity. And that's your gift. They're going to vary. Everyone has different gifts. And so, you know, don't blindly follow in the footsteps of others, but be brave enough to leave your own mark. You know, I think that we can change the world one person at a time. And I believe the biggest way to start making an impact is to activate your own wellness and your own internal knowing and then start sharing your heartfelt wisdom with others.

Have you ever noticed how some people are great storytellers and some aren’t? Matthew Dicks joins the show today to explain how storytelling is a skill anyone can learn and improve upon. He also shares his newest book with us, “Stories Sell: Storyworthy Strategies to Grow Your Business and Brand.”
Matthew is an international best-selling novelist, comic book writer, and humor columnist. He is a 61-time Moth StorySLAM winner and acts as a consultant for major businesses to help them tell their stories.
He shares the secret sauce with us: Figure out what the story is, pick an excellent beginning, focus on actions and thoughts, and know when to stop talking. Above all, lean into the listener’s imagination.
And yes, he tells us some good stories during the episode. Don’t miss it!
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
I think the most important thing is that people see stories as big sort of momentous occasions in their lives. They watch movies and they see plane crashes and people jumping from building to building and bank robberies and epic romances. And I think what they fail to see is that tiny moments like the one I just described to you, where your son says something to you and it just reframes your thinking, I actually think those are the most important stories to tell. I'm a person who has died twice and been brought back to life via CPR both times. And those are not my favorite stories to tell. I would much rather tell you the story about Charlie reminding me that ice cream on a shirt is called childhood. Because I think those are the stories that relate to people the most, they're the stories people understand the most. And they're the ones that if we don't pay attention to and hold onto, it's like sand through our fingers. They just, they disappear forever. And then suddenly our son is 27 years old and we don't know where the time went. But if we recognize those moments, we hold onto them and we tell those stories, like the one I just told you, then they become permanent markers in the life of me and my son, Charlie. And suddenly it's not sand through my fingers anymore, but it's something I get to share with other human beings and remember myself. So be paying attention to the tiniest of moments because they can have the biggest meaning.

Rusty Rueff has built an incredibly successful career in tech, and today he invests in and advises startups. That is why it is no surprise that he thinks about life in tech terms, even spirituality. Rusty joins the show today to tell us about his new book, “The Faith Code: A Future-Proof Framework for a Life of Meaning and Impact.”
He explains that Biblical teachings can act as the source code on which you build your life. You and your circumstances might change– your apps may update– but your source code can continue to be your foundation for an intentional life.
Tune in to hear Rusty’s incredible career journey and his perspective on modern spiritual living.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
We pay a lot of attention in our jobs and the world around us on mind and body. Right? The corporations now for the last 45 years have helped us with our body. That's why we have corporate gyms and memberships. And all those things to take care of our body. And in the last 15 to 20 years, we've started to talk about our mind. You know, with mental health. And now you can, it's a wonderful thing. You can be expressive about your mental health that you couldn't when, you know, when I was going into the workplace. Which is fantastic. And now we have tools and things, enablers to help us. But what we haven't done is we're not paying enough attention to the spirit. And in a healthy life. In my estimation. It is an isosceles triangle. It is balanced. Mind, body, and spirit. So whatever and however you define spirit. Pursue it. Pursue it. It's the one thing actually in our lives that can get stronger while we age. Our minds will go. And our bodies will go. We can fight it. As much as we want to. But they will go. But our spirit can increase and increase and increase. And we may well be the strongest point in our spirit in the last days of our lives. So find it. Pursue it. And hold on to it. And life will be better.
