Hey, superwomen! Welcome back to the Chasing Brighter podcast. 🌟 This week, hosts Kelly & Jessica are diving deep into a real, raw, and honest conversation about balancing the weight of the world while still choosing joy. Life can feel overwhelming, but we get to decide where we put our energy—and today, we’re talking about how to stay informed, advocate for what we believe in, and still embrace the good in our daily lives.
✅ Navigating the heaviness of current events – How do we stay informed without being consumed by negativity?
✅ PMDD, mental health, and self-awareness – Jess opens up about her struggles and the importance of understanding how our emotions are impacted by hormonal cycles.
✅ The power of choosing joy – Inspired by RuPaul, we discuss why looking at the darkness but not staring at it is key to keeping our spirits high.
✅ Kids, friendships, and boundary-setting – The Lunch Saga with Gio and his friend Timmy (who may or may not be a lunch thief) is a must-listen! We share strategies for teaching kids how to say "no" while still being kind.
✅ Making your home a joyful space – From pool tables to indoor basketball hoops, we’re all about creating spaces that bring happiness to your family!
🎯 Key Takeaway: The world is always going to have challenges, but you can still find joy in the middle of it all. Whether it’s setting better boundaries, finding ways to give back, or just learning to enjoy the little things, YOU are in control of your happiness.
