In this heartfelt episode, Kim Strobel opens up about three pivotal reflections that can help you create more joy, fulfillment, and vitality in your everyday life. Drawing from her personal journey—now at age 51—Kim shares the wisdom, challenges, and practical strategies she’s gleaned through decades of personal growth, marriage, and self-care.

What’s in this episode:
  • How investing intentionally in your marriage (or partnership) can lead to lasting happiness—even during the busiest parenting years
  • The crucial reminder that you are inherently worthy of goodness, joy, and abundance—regardless of your past or your inner critic
  • The transformative power of prioritizing movement and self-care, and a simple, eye-opening phone activity to reclaim time for what fuels you
  • Kim’s candid stories about therapy, reflection, and personal sticky notes that keep her centered during life’s ups and downs
  • Why creating boundaries around draining activities (like excessive social media) can make room for meaningful self-investment

Kim encourages listeners to pause and reflect on what matters most, take empowered action—no matter how small—and give themselves permission to prioritize well-being.

Key Takeaways:
  • If your marriage is important to you, invest in it intentionally—even when it feels hard or inconvenient.
  • You are already worthy of all that is good in life; the world can only value you as much as you value yourself.
  • Prioritizing movement, even 30 minutes a day, is one of the top five happiness boosters. Reclaim time from draining activities, starting with an honest look at your phone’s screen time.
  • Small shifts, done with self-love and intention, can yield lasting rewards.

"You are a worthy human being of being blessed beyond extraordinary in this life. But it starts with you understanding that and loving yourself."
