Habits That Secretly Steal Your Joy (And How to Stop Them) Part 2

Podcast Summary

Ever wonder why your joy feels stuck—even when life’s not that bad? In this episode, I share three sneaky ways we sabotage our own joy (and peace!) without even realizing it. From everyday comparison to being controlling or allowing ourselves to be controlled, we dig into the habits that quietly erode our spiritual and emotional well-being.

This episode is the second in a two-part series, so if you missed last week's episode you'll want to listen to that conversation, too!

These two episodes are about awareness and simple, powerful shifts backed by Scripture. I share real-life stories, including one involving the moment I was confronted by my own need to control. (Spoiler alert: you might recognize yourself in my story!) and practical tools to help you reset your mindset and renew your joy.

If you’re ready to stop the joy stealers in their tracks, this one’s for you. Let’s grow together!
