How to Embrace Joy in Hard Moments (Even with Vertigo & the Flu)

Life doesn’t always go the way we plan—sometimes it’s spring break with the flu, or vertigo showing up right when you’re trying to create something meaningful. But what if those hard, messy, unexpected moments didn’t have to steal your joy?

In this episode, I’m sharing two real stories from my own life—one where our family trip didn’t look anything like we imagined, and another where I tried to record a Love Move while the whole world felt like it was tilting. You’ll see how easy it is to let frustration take over, and how choosing a simple reset can change the whole experience.

We’ll walk through the 3 R’s—Remember, Reconnect, Reset—and practice together in three everyday scenarios: spilled milk, snarky comments, and overwhelming to-do lists. This isn’t about pretending life is perfect. It’s about noticing God’s presence, reconnecting to His peace, and resetting how we step into the moment so we can live lighter and embrace joy, even in the mess.

✨ Practical. Faith-filled. Life-changing.
