    Radical Hospitality-Encore Episode
    Jul 21 2025
    Are you really living your life intentionally? Are you living as authentically as God created you? Are you walking in the purpose He made for His kids? If you’ve ever felt stressed or skeptical, you are not alone.

    This week, I’m sharing my heart about what it means to take charge of your happiness, even when life feels out of control. I talk about the little choices that shape our days, the wisdom I’ve learned from Zig Ziglar, and how sometimes the best lessons come wrapped in stress.

    I open up about my own struggles with stress, why self-care is vital, and how I’m learning to pause, breathe, and let God’s grace fill me up. I even share an old affirmation about the miracle of breath…because sometimes, just stopping to breathe is the most powerful thing we can do.
    Season 6 of My Happy Ass Life is coming this August, but until then, I hope this episode brings you encouragement, a little laughter, and a reminder that you’re not alone on this journey.

    Episode Highlights:
    [00:00] Taking charge of your happiness
    [00:45] The power of small choices and Zig Ziglar’s wisdom
    [03:23] Recognizing and managing stress
    [04:23] The importance of self-care
    [06:00] The miracle of breath
    [07:00] Spreading love and positive energy
    [07:56] What you take in, you give out

    Living Above Your Circumstances-Encore Episode
    Jul 7 2025
    As I sit here at Level 66, I can’t help but reflect on this sweet episode from last year, back when I first heard my friend Scott say, “I’m not 55, I’m Level 55.” That little phrase lit a fire in me and changed the way I look at growing older. Instead of dreading the number, I started celebrating the level. And now? I’m proud to be Level 66!This episode is all about choosing joy, living above our circumstances, and finding peace even when things feel messy (yes, including missing paperwork and fasting bloodwork!).

    It’s a holiday weekend, and we’re between seasons right now Season 6 of My Happy Ass Life starts in August! Until then, enjoy this encore episode that’s filled with perspective, peace, and a whole lot of gratitude.So wherever you are, whatever level you're on, remember you’re leveling up in more ways than one.

    Episode Highlights
    [00:21] Celebrating Scott's Level 55
    [03:44] Living Above Your Circumstances
    [06:37] Daily Affirmations for Peace and Joy
