Hey friends! In this vulnerable, honest episode of She Finds Joy, I’m inviting you into a raw conversation that we don’t have nearly enough—about those days when things just aren’t okay.

I showed up for this recording in my running clothes, with no makeup and messy hair, because it felt important that you see the real, unfiltered Kim Strobel. The truth is, behind the social media highlight reels and the smiles, every single one of us has times when life feels heavy, we feel stuck, and joy feels far away.

Notable Quotes:

“You’re not failing, even though it feels like you’re behind everyone else.”

“Maybe you don’t always have to be fixing your life—sometimes it’s okay to just be where you are.”

“You are not alone in these feelings—so many of us feel the same way sometimes.”

“If you need inspiration, remember Nightbird’s song: It’s Okay.”

Listener Challenge:

Take a moment and ask yourself: Where in your life do you feel ‘behind’ or ‘not enough’? What’s ONE small act of kindness you can offer yourself today?
