Have you ever wondered if it's possible to find genuine happiness while your world is still in pieces? In this raw and heartfelt episode, I open up about discovering deep joy at my core even as I navigate the aftermath of a devastating divorce, complete with rumors, betrayal, and literally moving my life out in trash bags.
Contrary to what many of us have been taught, joy doesn't always arrive after healing is complete. Sometimes, the most authentic happiness emerges right in the middle of our darkest moments. I share how even while managing my son Dominic's complex health challenges and rebuilding my life from scratch, I've found a quiet, powerful joy that sustains me through it all.
There's something different about people who have walked through darkness and kept going – a light that isn't performative but earned through resilience. These are the connections I'm drawn to now, people who understand that rising often begins while we're still on our knees. The happiness I've discovered isn't despite the challenges but somehow because of them, reshaping who I am at my core.
Your joy isn't a betrayal of your past – it's a declaration of who you're becoming. This episode is an invitation to let happiness in, even before everything makes sense again. You're allowed to laugh while healing. You're allowed to feel free even if it confuses others. And most importantly, you're not alone in discovering that the rise is worth every dark corner you walk through.
