Episode 79: You have permission to have a life full of Joy again.

Survived to Thrive Podcast

Can joy coexist with profound grief? A couple weekends ago I visited an adult playground in Las Vegas with some family and we were swept away by childlike joy, even though we have losses of a loved one to suicide. In this episode we explore the often-overlooked complexities of grief and discuss the glimpses of happiness that can surprise us in the most unexpected places.
In our second segment, we confront the realities and emotional turmoil of difficult times. The physical and mental toll can be overwhelming, but this chapter is a beacon of hope, showing that joy is within reach, even in the darkest moments. Finally, we outline actionable steps to cultivate joy intentionally, underscoring the power of focusing on positive memories, making decisions, setting goals, and making future plans. It’s about believing in our worthiness to experience joy, even amidst adversity. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a guide to finding light despite loss and truly believing we have the permission to experience joy.

As always, thanks for listening!
