✨ What if the very season that stretches you…

In this episode of Your Most Beautiful Life, Lori continues the story she began in Episode 28—about transition, misalignment, and rediscovering peace when life no longer feels like home.

She shares how, in the swirl of the holidays, she unexpectedly found a new emotional resilience: a way of choosing joy, presence, and peace even when the season demanded more of her. And how that same grace is now carrying her into the rest of life’s changing chapters.

This conversation invites you to see your own stretch differently—not as a sign of overwhelm, but as evidence that your heart is learning how to hold more beauty, more connection, and more joy than ever before.

• How emotional capacity grows when you choose joy in the chaos—not after it

• The Legacy of Beauty — a new space for emotional + spiritual renewal

“Without realizing it, I had been practicing what I now know to be true: that how we think quietly shapes how we live.”

“Peace isn’t found — it’s formed, one decision, one belief, one moment of surrender at a time.”

“I am not at peace when I shrink.”

“Serving — when chosen from love instead of obligation — creates peace.”

“Every detail becomes worship.”

“The demands increase… and so does the grace to meet them.”

“Joy rises to match the weight of love.”

“I used to think joy was the thing you got to after you pushed through a hard season — that it waited for me on the other side of endurance.”

“Joy isn’t a finish line — it’s a companion.”

“I don’t have to wait for everything to feel settled to live with peace.”

“Christmas taught me how to hold more. Life gave me the chance to use it.”

“This one looks like showing up — fully, freely, wholeheartedly. Not because I have to. Because I get to.”

“This is the season to live beauty, not just decorate for it.”
