Is It Controversial to Be Controversial? EP 143

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/08/06

These days, it can feel like having an opinion—any opinion—comes with a warning label. Say something bold, and you’re “controversial.” Say nothing, and you’re “complicit.” So what do we do when we disagree? Because disagreement is inevitable. We’re not all wired the same, raised the same, or shaped by the same experiences. Here’s what I’ve noticed: It’s not the disagreement that causes the damage. It’s how we handle it.

The Squeaky Door Syndrome: Why We Tolerate What...

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/08/04

Humans are ridiculously adaptable. We can get used to just about anything. The squeaky door that makes you wince every time it opens. The chair that digs into your back. The cluttered space that makes it impossible to focus. The process at work that takes twice as long as it should. We don’t like it. We complain about it. But… we tolerate it. So, what’s one small, annoying, energy-sucking thing you’ve been putting up with simply because you’re used to it? Maybe today’s the day you stop

2025/07/31

We were made to create.YOU were made to be creative! Not just consume. Not just scroll. Not just binge. But to make things—with our hands, our minds, our hearts. To write, build, paint, dance, speak, organize, problem-solve, imagine. To express the ideas that lives inside us. When we spend more time consuming than creating, things get out of balance. We feel it as restlessness. Boredom. Frustration. We get overwhelmed, anxious, even numb, not because we’re doing too much, but because we’re

2025/07/30

There’s a powerful difference between feeling uncomfortable and being unsafe—and learning to recognize that difference is essential for navigating the world with clarity, courage, and compassion.Uncomfortable means we're stretching, stepping outside of the familiar, or encountering new perspectives. It's the feeling of trying something for the first time, hearing a hard truth, or being challenged to grow. Every now and then, our discomfort comes from being in spaces where we are witness to or we

How to Trust Yourself Even When It's Hard EP 137

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/07/29

Trusting yourself doesn’t mean you’ll always get it right.It means you believe in your ability to listen, to learn, and to move forward, even when the path feels unclear. When life is hard, it’s tempting to look outward for answers. But some of the wisest guidance comes from within. That quiet nudge. That gut feeling. That whisper of “this feels right” or “not this.” That’s your intuition, and it’s worth trusting. The more you listen to it, the stronger it becomes. And the more you trust

Making Space for Hope and Calm EP 136

2025/07/28

In a world that feels constantly cluttered—with notifications, obligations, and noise—sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is make space. Literal space. Figurative space. Hope and calm aren’t things we chase down, they’re often what shows up when we stop, breathe, and make room. So if today feels overwhelming, ask yourself: Where can I make just a little more space? You don’t need to fix everything. You just need to start with one open breath, one cleared shelf, one quiet

Why Saying No Can Be a Kindness to Yourself and...

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/07/25

I wanted to write about why saying yes isn’t always the best thing but I was having a hard time getting my head around it. It worried me that everyone might not like to say yes so I was not sure if this would be relevant. Then I checked my email and James Clear (of Atomic Habits fame) write this: A philosophy I heard recently and have found useful: "We look for reasons to say yes and only say no when we have to." Reading that helped me hone in on what I want to say about being a yes

The Arrival Fallacy and the Secret to Hope EP 134

2025/07/24

Have you ever said, “I’ll be happy when…”?When the project is done. When you get the promotion. When you lose the weight. When life finally slows down. When I find my true love. That’s the arrival fallacy, the belief that happiness lives in some future moment, waiting for us to finally catch up. But here’s the hard truth: that moment doesn’t arrive the way we imagine. Because once we get there we still haven’t chosen happiness. On top of that our minds often move the finish line and we

The Power of Advocacy: Why Being an Advocate Builds...

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/07/23

To be an advocate is to use your voice, your presence, and your power to stand up for others, especially those who are not being heard. It’s not always loud or public. Sometimes it’s a quiet act of solidarity, a well-timed question in a meeting, or a firm "that’s not okay" when something crosses the line.Advocacy is a hope-builder because it bridges isolation and action. When someone speaks up for us, or walks alongside us in struggle, it reminds us we matter. It tells us we’re not alone. And when

Why Confidence Is the Fuel Your Hope Needs EP 131

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/07/22

Confidence isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about trusting yourself to figure things out, even when the path ahead is uncertain. It’s the quiet inner voice that says, “I can handle this,” even when life throws you curveballs. When you nurture your confidence, you give hope a place to grow. So how do you nurture confidence? Because when you believe in yourself, even a little, hope begins to take root, and that’s where change begins.

2025/07/17

Not all fear is about survival.Sometimes it’s the quiet kind. The fear of being seen. Of starting something new. Of reaching out after too much time or too many hard words. This kind of fear doesn’t shout. It whispers things like:What if it doesn’t work? What if I’m not enough? What if I’m too much? If you’re feeling that fear today, here’s what you can do: 🔹 1. Name it. 🔹 2. Break it into the next small step. 🔹 3. Let courage be messy.

I recently attended a gathering with a group of women I didn’t know, except for the organizer, whom I had only met once before. There were about 12 to 15 of us, all gathered to hear a Ukrainian immigrant share her story about her life before coming to the U.S., her journey here, and what life looks like now.It was honest, moving, and empowering. What struck me most wasn’t just her story, but how engaged and curious everyone was. I found myself nodding along, not just to her words, but to the

Hope is Leaving the World a Bit Better Than Before EP...

2025/07/14

I was reminded of that today by this quote from Jim Henson: “My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.” It’s simple. Not flashy or grand. Just better. A bit better. That kind of hope doesn’t demand we change everything, but it does invite us to do something: Be a little kinder. Speak up when it’s easier to stay quiet. Listen more. Share more. Care more. Hope doesn’t need a headline. It needs a heartbeat. So today, maybe that “bit better” is offering someone

Thoughts About Hope: Reflections From Seth Godin’s...

2025/07/11

In Seth Godin's view, being "hardwired for hope" means that humans have an inherent, biological predisposition to anticipate a positive future and believe in the possibility of improvement, even in challenging circumstances. In his book, This Is Strategy, talks about how it's not just wishful thinking, but a fundamental part of our nature that drives us to act, create, and strive for a better outcome, even when facing uncertainty. He also shares that anecdotes are not data for making decisions,

A few days ago, a stranger reminded me how powerful a small act of kindness can be.I was walking in the park, and honestly, I was struggling. I’d overheated, was nearly out of water, and had to stop and catch my breath in a bit of shade. That’s when she noticed me, paused her walk, and asked if I was okay. She encouraged me to rest, offered a few kind words, and even gave me a little pep talk: “You’re here. You showed up. That’s something to be proud of.” And you know what? It was exactly what I
