About Bloom with Dr. Darlene

Dr. Darlene Powell Garlington is an internationally recognized licensed clinical psychologist, certified school psychologist, media psychologist, and forensic psychologist who has qualified as an expert in federal court. She is the renowned author of 14 books and has been in private practice for more than 30 years. Dr. Garlington’s educational background includes a PhD in clinical psychology, a master's in school psychology, and a second master's in applied behavioral psychology. What if peace were not something you chased, but something you cultivated? What if joy were not dependent on circumstances but rooted in how you love? What if happiness were not elusive, but something that emerged from inner contentment and living in the moment? This podcast will strengthen your emotional foundation, transform the way you speak to yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and learn to forgive yourself with grace. You will discover how to love others without losing yourself, how to take emotional responsibility with maturity, and how to move love from intention into consistent daily action. Rooted in scripture and supported by psychological insight, this book reminds us that happiness based on circumstances fades, but peace grounded in love endures. BLOOM in Life is not simply something you read; it is something you practice. It is an invitation to live more consciously, more compassionately, and more courageously every day. If you are ready to experience deeper peace, lasting joy, and authentic emotional fulfillment, it is time to BLOOM. Bloom with Dr. Darlene is not simply a podcast that you watch; it is something that, as you practice, you grow.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
