Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter

Nothing Can Touch You: Finding Peace Beyond Praise and Criticism

Send me a message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590046/fan_mail/new] Most of what hurts us… isn’t what people say. It’s what we believe about it. In this video, you’ll discover a deeper truth — one that goes beyond “handling criticism” or “staying positive.” A truth that changes how you experience every interaction. Because when you truly see what you are… there is nothing to defend, nothing to protect, and nothing that can be attacked. And from that place… peace is no longer something you try to maintain. It’s simply what remains. Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

How to Make Peace With the Choices You Made

Send me a message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590046/fan_mail/new] At some point, we all wonder: Did I make the right choices in life? We replay the past, think about “what could have been,” and question whether we wasted time or missed our chance at a better life. But what if nothing actually went wrong? In this podcast, we explore how to stop regretting your life choices and finally make peace with the past. You’ll learn why overthinking, comparison, and attachment to expectations create suffering — and how shifting your attention to the present moment can bring clarity, gratitude, and real happiness. True peace doesn’t come from fixing the past or achieving a perfect future, but from understanding that your life was never supposed to follow a script. If you’ve been struggling with regret, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like you’re behind in life, this perspective can help you let go and move forward with more ease and confidence. Chapters:  00:01 – How do I stop feeling like I’ve wasted my life? 20:45 – How do I stop comparing myself to what my younger self imagined how my life would be? 24:16 – Can I still find happiness even if life didn’t go according to my plans? 28:29 – How do I learn to love the person I have become? 38:15 – How do I stay present when the past pulls at me and the future scares me? 44:58 – How can I quiet my inner critic?

Why Chasing Happiness Makes Us Unhappy — and What Actually Brings Peace

Send me a message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590046/fan_mail/new] We live in a world that tells us we should always be happy. So we smile, say we’re “doing great,” and hide what we’re really feeling — even from the people closest to us. But what if this constant pressure to be happy is actually making things worse? In this podcast, we explore how forcing happiness, avoiding discomfort, and chasing pleasure can create more suffering, not less. You’ll learn why unhappiness is not a failure, why trying to “fix” it can backfire, and how acceptance, awareness, and stillness can lead to a deeper, more natural sense of peace. The goal isn’t to be happy all the time — it’s to stop fighting what you feel and discover what’s already there beneath it.
