#29 The Quiet Absence of Happiness

For so long, I believed I was rooted in joy—and I still am.

Joy is deep. Faith-filled. Steady. It’s never left me.

But a recent realization hit me hard: Happiness has been missing in certain areas of my life.

And I don’t say that lightly. I’m not chasing happiness. I’m not building my life around it. But I am wise enough to recognize when something matters—and honest enough to admit when it’s been missing.

In this episode, I unpack the difference between joy and happiness—and why, even when we’re strong, grounded, and grateful… we still deserve to feel light, playful, and truly happy in our day-to-day lives.

If you’ve felt the tension between growth and joy, faith and fun, purpose and play—this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about wholeness. And how happiness fits in.

In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it’s important that we know who’s we are & who we are.

We aren’t called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that’s it. It doesn’t have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions!

I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.

And, that takes intention, that takes action

: My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community.

The real unlock is the Inner Work, and that’s what we do here!
