In this deeply heartfelt episode of Blissin’ Up, I ask a question I know many of us are wrestling with: how do we align with bliss in a world that feels so full of heartbreak and pain? I share personal stories of loss—from my father’s battle with cancer to my sister’s amputation—and the grief I’ve carried even when the pain wasn’t directly my own. I explore what it means to hold both sorrow and joy, and offer three principles that have helped me find sparks of bliss amidst even the darkest moments. This episode is about radical hope, the coexistence of pain and joy, and our responsibility to carry the light forward.
