What if joy isn’t something you wait around to feel—but something you can actually practice, even in the messiest seasons?
Today I’m sitting down with my friend Rachel Awtrey—mama to two boys, military wife, blogger, and podcast host—for one of my favorite conversations we’ve had on the show. We’re talking about what it looks like to love your life… even when you don’t like everything about it.
Rachel gets honest about writing her first book, then walking through a season that tested every single truth she wrote down. We talk about finding joy when nothing is going the way you planned, holding grief and joy at the same time, and how to spot those tiny sparks of joy when they start to come back.
If you’re in a season that feels heavy, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!
