In this episode, we explore the beauty of contrast — the strange, sacred way that joy lands deeper after we’ve tasted the hard. I share two stories from our family road trip out West, including one freezing night in a tent in Oregon that taught me more about gratitude than any self-help book ever could.

We discuss emotional highs and lows, why humans aren’t meant to be happy all the time, and how allowing ourselves to experience the full spectrum of our emotions is what makes life meaningful.

If you’ve been avoiding hard feelings or struggling to let joy in, this one’s for you. And if you want more support, you’re always welcome to join my free monthly group coaching call at:
