In this vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase records from Calgary, Canada, in the middle of family weddings, memorials, and moments of grief. Just a month after losing his sister and preparing for his grandmother’s burial, he reflects on what it means to show up in life even when you don’t feel like it.

Norense opens up about the tension of joy and sorrow—celebrating his cousin’s marriage while mourning the milestones his sister will never experience. Through honest storytelling, he explores how grief, negative thoughts, and spiritual battles try to silence us, and how God calls us to serve through the suffering instead of being defined by it.

This is not a polished, perfect message. It’s a raw look at faith, perseverance, and the discipline of aligning your life with God’s purpose—even when emotions and circumstances say otherwise.
