Clear the Clutter Find the Spark EP 178

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/09/24

Order isn’t perfection, it’s permission to breathe.Every time we clear a surface or a storyline, we lower the noise and raise our capacity for hope. Less “Where did I put…?” and “What if…?” More “I can do this.” A 7-Minute Hope Reset (literal + metaphorical) 1) Surfaces (3 min): Pick one tiny zone, a desk corner, your nightstand, the car cup holder. Toss, keep, relocate. Wipe it. Done. 2) Screens (2 min): Archive 10 emails, mute 1 chat, delete 5 photos. Your attention is sacred. 3) Mind (2

Asking for help, for information, out of curiosity, isn’t weakness, it’s strategy.Every big leap you admire was powered by a simple question: Can you help? Do you know how? Will you join? Is this possible? Resilience isn’t muscling through alone; it’s staying in motion by inviting resources, wisdom, and community to the table.

Finding Hope in the Equinox; Gather, Release, Renew

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/09/22

The autumnal equinox is that brief, beautiful pause when light and dark share the sky in equal measure. It’s nature’s way of saying: balance isn’t a finish line; it’s a rhythm. Harvest and rest. Holding on and letting go. Finishing… and beginning again. Hope lives in that rhythm and cycle. Hope isn’t pretending everything’s perfect. It’s noticing what’s working, releasing what’s not, and choosing one small action that keeps us moving. Today, let’s use the equinox as a gentle reset: gather your

It’s easy to get comfortable in routines. Familiar feels safe, predictable, and efficient. But when we step outside that comfort zone and try something new, whether it’s a hobby, new food, a workout, or even a different route home, we’re giving our brain and our sense of well-being a real gift.What’s something you’ve wanted to try? How can you work that into your day or your week? What would it take to try something new or begin a new practice? Today’s a good day to find out.

Why Laughter is Good For You EP 173

2025/09/17

A new fav IG account that ALWAYS makes me laughSometimes the best medicine doesn’t come in a pill, it comes in the form of laughter. That belly-deep kind of laugh, the one that makes your cheeks hurt and your eyes water, is more powerful than we realize. Laughter is good for you because: • It relieves stress. Even a few minutes of genuine laughter lowers cortisol and helps your body relax. • It connects us. Sharing a laugh with someone builds trust and strengthens relationships. • It shifts

Hope as Resistance EP 172

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/09/16

When the world feels heavy, it can be tempting to give in to despair. But remaining hopeful is not naïve, it’s an act of resistance.Hope refuses to let fear, anger, or injustice have the last word. It’s the belief that better days are possible, even when evidence is scarce. And that belief fuels the courage to take action, to create change, to keep showing up. I’ll admit that there are days when I don’t know how hope can help or if it’s helping at all. Then I remember that the world has always

When the World Feels Out of Control EP 171

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/09/15

Here’s what we all know; the world can feel overwhelming sometimes. Headlines bring us stories of conflict, uncertainty, and tragedy. It’s normal to feel anxious or heavy-hearted when the news seems filled with fear. But while we can’t control world events, we can manage how we respond to them, and how we care for ourselves and others in the process. When we’re angry or afraid, the part of our brain that detects threats takes over triggering our fight or flight response. This overrides the part of

2025/09/12

Today is the National Day of Encouragement. It may sound like a made-up holiday but who cares? It’s the perfect reminder to say the quiet good things out loud. A few sincere words can change someone’s hour, day, even direction. Encouragement isn’t flattery; it’s kindness in action. And don’t forget you: encouragement counts inward, too. Speak to yourself like you would to a friend, kindly, clearly, and often. Let’s start a ripple of encouragement. Send an encouraging text or make the call or

Being Present in the Moment Matters EP 168

The passing of time is weird isn’t it? When we have a day with difficulties or set back, or maybe if we’re just not feeling great it can feel like a day that won’t end. This is going live the second week of September, a month that brings us autumn and a distinct change of season here in the Midwest where I live. Which makes me feel like this year is zooming by. I feel like summer always goes by quickly, and even though I truly like the change of seasons, I am always sad to see the long days come

I’m sure you’ve heard a version of the Starfish story. It goes like this: A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to

I’m glad you’re here. I know I say that every time, but I want you to really hear it because I am really glad you’re here, listening and sharing hope with me. I started this back in January and there’s no way that I’d still be doing this if I hadn’t received encouragement and support from you, the people who are listening. I truly appreciate you for helping me see that being hopeful isn’t pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. I’ve learned and now experience hope as a practice. The daily steps we all
