What do you do when you wake up and your heart feels heavy—but the day is still waiting for you?
In this concluding episode of the 30 Thoughts Series, Victoria closes with an honest, hope-filled conversation about grief, health, aging, and the daily choice to rejoice.
Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and simple brain science, Victoria reminds you that rejoicing is not denial—it is a decision that reshapes your mind, strengthens your faith, and anchors your soul.
You’ll hear reflections on loss, a candid health journey, and practical ways to interrupt toxic thought patterns and replace them with truth. Victoria also shares how intentional gratitude and praise can create real change in your thinking, your behavior, and your emotional well-being—no matter what season you’re in.
