Ep 29: Why Your Joy is a Daily Practice, Not a Destination w/ Amberly Lago


Listen Later

What if joy isn’t something you find at the end of your journey, but something you choose again and again, even in the moments that feel impossible?

Together, Anniston and Amberly dive into the real truth about resilience: that it isn’t about staying upbeat or pretending everything is fine. It’s about staying open, grounded in gratitude, and anchored in faith even when life breaks you open. They explore how joy can coexist with grief, why vulnerability is a form of courage, and what it takes to rebuild your life when your body, identity, or dreams shift overnight.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why joy isn’t a destination but a daily practice
  • The truth about resilience and how to cultivate it in real, messy life
  • How Amberly found strength through faith, community, recovery, and grace
  • Why asking for help is not weakness but the beginning of healing
  • The difference between toxic positivity and authentic gratitude
  • How to turn your deepest wounds into wisdom, purpose, and service
  • If you’ve ever felt like you needed to be “okay” before you could show up for others, this conversation will remind you of something powerful: Your story — exactly as it is — has the ability to heal, uplift, and inspire.
