In this heartfelt and candid episode, we navigate the highs and lows of life during a busy December filled with birthday celebrations, intense soccer tournaments, and cherished family moments. We reflect on the chaos of parenting and the lessons it teaches about love, resilience, and joy.
We recount transformative moments, such as a father-son trip to Brazil that brought life-changing growth and perspective, and the overwhelming experience of seeing our youngest child face a medical crisis. These moments taught us that joy is not about external circumstances but an internal choice—a deep wellspring that sustains us even in hardship.
Through stories of vulnerability, gratitude, and community support, we explore how joy is found not only in triumph but also in struggle. We touch on the importance of letting people into your life during tough times, finding joy in others' successes, and recognizing how challenges can shape and strengthen us.
As we head into the holiday season, we hope this episode inspires you to fight for joy, embrace your community, and see life’s hardships as opportunities to grow and thrive. Share this episode with your loved ones and let us know how it resonated with you.
