What is Thriving? Choices, Habits, Mindset - A Way of Life
In this episode, Lucy sits down with Bobby Carlin to talk about the meaning of thriving. Thriving isn’t a static thing that you ‘get’ or ‘are’ - it’s a mindset you develop, a set of insights and skills you equip yourself with, a way of living that empowers you to be the best version of yourself – it’s very much a ‘doing’ thing.
Bobby explains why thriving is not about chasing perfection, constant happiness, or living without fear—it’s about making intentional choices, taking ownership of your thoughts and actions, and creating habits that align with your values.
If you’ve ever wondered how to move from just surviving to truly thriving, this conversation offers practical wisdom and fresh perspective.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why thriving is about living life on your own terms
- The importance of an internal compass and self-accountability
- How to shift from “What’s happening to me?” to “What am I going to do about this?”
- Why thriving doesn’t mean being happy all the time
- The power of choice - and how choices become habits
- How to care for yourself in all areas of your life - physically, financially, relationally, and emotionally
“Thriving is living your best life, being the best version of yourself - not by chance, but by choice.”
