Meditation: The Sacred Practice of Choosing Joy (Even Here)

Podcast Summary

Hey Dreamer,

Let’s have a heart-to-heart for a moment.

Because I know how easy it is to push joy to the sidelines when life feels like too much. You’re praying big prayers, holding on to hope, showing up for everybody else—and deep down you’re wondering, “Is joy even available to me right now?”

This episode is your gentle reminder: Yes. Even now. Especially now.

We’re not talking about fake-it-til-you-make-it smiles or pretending everything’s fine.

We’re talking about sacred, Spirit-breathed joy that shows up right in the middle of the mess—and refuses to leave.

I share how Paul, writing from a prison cell, reminds us that joy isn’t dependent on your conditions. It’s rooted in your connection.

It’s not about having it all together. It’s about being anchored in the One who does.

We talk about,

  • The neuroscience of joy and how your brain is wired for gratitude and peace

  • How joy resets your nervous system and becomes a holy protest to burnout

  • Why joy is a spiritual strategy—not just a feeling you stumble into

And then I’ll guide you in a joy rhythm that’s simple, honest, and sustainable.

You’ll learn how to build what I call “Daily Micro Joy”—little sacred moments that shift your atmosphere without needing a full schedule overhaul.

So take a breath.

Come home to yourself.

Joy isn’t just possible—it’s promised.

Here’s your truth to carry today:

“Joy is rising in me. Not because everything is perfect—but because God is present.”

Keep breathing, keep believing, and don’t you dare forget—

You were created for this kind of joy.

Let’s connect. Not just in the comments, not just with a double tap. I want to know what’s been on your heart. Let’s talk, dream out loud, pray if you need it, laugh if you feel like it, just real space for real conversation.
