Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in survivor mode — just trying to get through the day, pushing past your own needs, and wondering if joy will ever really come?
So many women believe they must wait until they’re “healed enough” or “whole enough” before joy is possible. But friend, joy isn’t the end result of healing. Joy is part of the healing.

In this episode, you’ll discover how neuroscience and Scripture show us that even the smallest joys — a laugh, a sweet moment, or something as simple as a s’more by the fire — can begin to rewire your heart from survival into belovedness.

I’ll share a tender personal story of how God used a summer evening with my kids to show me it’s never too late for joy, and how choosing joy — even in the middle of tears — is a sacred step of healing.

Key Takeaways:

Why small joys help rewire your brain out of survival mode How “false safety mechanisms” from trauma silence your desires — and how to break free Why Jesus invites you to taste joy even before you’re fully healed A personal story of how a simple summer night with my boys became a moment of healing joy A practical soul care practice to take one small joy step this week

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: Those who sow in tears
Exhale: will reap with shouts of joy
Scripture:“Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.” Psalm 126:6
