Ep. 033: The Circumstances Myth & Why Peace Isn’t ‘Out There’

11 minutes

✨ For the woman who keeps waiting for life to feel easier… this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Your Most Beautiful Life, Lori shares a powerful teaching pulled straight from last week’s Holiday Legacy Q&A — a conversation that opened an unexpected doorway into clarity, emotional steadiness, and the truth about where peace is actually found.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking,

“If things were just a little smoother, a little simpler, a little less complicated… then I could finally feel peaceful,”

this episode will meet you right in that tender place.

This is a grounding, honest look at the circumstances myth — the belief that peace waits for us in a different version of our life — and the holy shift that happens when we stop outsourcing our peace to the people and environments around us.

This is Holiday Legacy in the real world…

not theoretical, not idealized — but lived in the middle of car rides, logistics, expectations, and the emotional weight we carry into December.

🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Why the holidays often feel heavier than we expect

• The subtle belief that convinces us peace is found “out there” in easier circumstances

• The illusion of the perfect holiday and why it keeps us stuck

• The truth about what actually shapes your emotional experience

• Why even ideal circumstances can’t deliver lasting peace

• The inner patterns that travel with you everywhere you go

• How God invites us to cultivate peace from the inside out

• What this means for loving your husband during a full season

• How grounding yourself internally changes the entire emotional tone of your holidays

• A holy reminder: peace is found inside the life you already have
