I used to live with the mindset that having "eternal optimism" would help me feel better and be better in life, until I realized that it was actually hurting me. In fact, I felt a deep void in my life because my optimistic attitude was forced and wasn't actually helping me feel better. It wasn't until I realized that it's okay to recognize and experience the hurt and pain that comes from a "season of suck" that I began to find joy and peace, despite my circumstances.

Today, we're talking about what it means to find gratitude in a challenging season. It's not intuitive, and it can feel uncomfortable. But the result produces endurance, joy, peace, hope, and so much more.

Leadership is one of the most valuable things we can add to our lives, but so often the question is "where do I start?" and "who do I ask to be a leader in my life?" In this week's episode of Listen Sis, I'm diving deep into why leadership can be a barrier for us, especially if we pride ourselves on being independent women, and how to find the RIGHT kind of leaders to surround yourself with.
