When Life Just Hurts: How to Heal, Grow, and Move Forward
Hey friends, today we’re getting real. Have you ever found yourself in a season where life just hurts? Maybe you’ve lost someone dear to you, faced a major life transition, or are simply feeling overwhelmed. I’ve been walking through one of those seasons myself, and in this episode, I want to share the process I’m using to move forward—not by ignoring the pain, but by walking through it with intention and faith.
We’ll talk about how to lean into gratitude, serve others even when you’re struggling, and choose joy in the middle of sorrow. Because here’s the truth: if you don’t quit, you win. The storm will run out of rain. You will come out stronger. Let’s talk about how.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why acknowledging your pain is a vital part of healing.
How gratitude can be the key to moving forward.
The power of serving others—even in your own struggles.
Why your words shape your reality and the future you create.
How to choose joy and prophesy hope over your life.
Call-to-Action
If you’re walking through something heavy, I challenge you to do three things today:
1️⃣ Write down five things you’re grateful for. Even if they’re small.
2️⃣ Reach out to someone else who’s struggling and encourage them.
3️⃣ Speak hope over your life. Say, I will come through this stronger.
Also, I’m launching a new Bible study on March 27th at 6 AM! We’ll be walking through my devotional You Win, and I’d love for you to join us. It’s time to reinforce the truth that you are more than your challenges.
