This week of Advent reminds us that joy isn’t about avoiding pain — it’s about allowing it with God.
In this episode, we talk about how true joy isn’t the same as happiness. Happiness depends on your circumstances; joy is rooted in God’s presence.

You’ll learn how to stop resisting emotions like sadness, disappointment, or frustration — and start letting them draw you closer to Christ. Because when you numb the hard, you also numb the good.

When you learn to feel it all with God, you open yourself to deeper joy, peace, and freedom.

If you’re ready to take this message deeper — to stop numbing the hard and start building the habits that bring peace and consistency — join me for the Committed & Confident in 2026 Challenge.

We begin Monday, December 29th with a live Goal-Setting Workshop, and continue through January with live classes, coaching calls, and short trainings that will help you build the foundation to lose the weight and keep it off.

🗓️ Dates: December 29 – January 30
