My Christmas Cactus Survival Story EP 218

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/19

My Christmas cactus plant is going on 10 years old I think. It’s been repotted a couple of times and it’s huge. For the most part, I don’t have to do much, in fact I think sometimes I overwater it, but it perseveres. A couple months ago I went to move it over so I could water it and a piece fell off. It was pretty big, a couple of inches long with 2 little branches. I don’t know why but I picked it up and stuck it into some potting soil in a tiny pot. It looked terrible. I had my doubts it was

The Day the Sun Broke Through EP 217

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/18

There was a week recently where everything felt gray, literally and figuratively. Endless clouds, frustrating delays, plans falling apart. You know those stretches where it feels like the universe is hitting “pause” on everything you’re trying to do?Then, midweek, after days of gloom, the sun broke through. Not for long, maybe twenty minutes, but long enough that I noticed and then things shifted. It’s a frequent reminder that there’s a lot of life we will never be able to control, the weather

The Power of One Small Yes EP 216

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/17

Sometimes hope shows up disguised as a tiny yes. A yes to try. A yes to show up. A yes to believe that maybe, just maybe, things could shift. I think of my friend who’d been sitting on her business idea for years. She didn’t launch the whole thing at once. She didn’t overhaul her life. She simply said yes to taking one small step: joining a local workshop. That single action opened a door… which led to a conversation… which led to a collaboration… which led to her first paying client. She was

2025/11/14

Today I’m going to do something a bit different. I want to share my 5 favorite things that I appreciate right now. It’s not an exhaustive list. I’m fortunate and grateful for lots of good things in my life. This is just a list of things that I find myself turning to often these days. Columbus Public Library. I hope where you live you have access to a library like I do. Here in Columbus, it’s a great resource and I appreciate having access to books of course, but also other resources that help

Your Hope To Do List EP 214

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/13

I LOVE a good to-do list. Maybe a little bit too much. I often create lists to help me get all the things out of my brain and into some kind of list that I can then see clearly. What’ important? What can what? What do I need help with? A good list can help you see what’s possible too. Not just things to do but things to appreciate and enjoy. That’s the inspiration for this episode: I’m sharing a hope-to-do list. Notice small joys. That morning light, the laughter, the kindness, hope grows in

What Season Are You In? EP 213

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/12

This has been a beautiful autumn where I live. It’s one of my favorite times of the year because it’s so pretty and it brings me back to memories of high school football games, and bonfires with friends and lots of other fall related experiences. I get to pull out my favorite sweater and wrap up and it suits me in so many ways. I really love it. It’s also a reminder of seasonality, the ever changing, forward momentum of all the things. Shorter days, colorful leaves, changes in the landscape,

Veterans Day and The Quiet Power of Hope EP 212

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/11

Today we honor the men and women who have served in our armed forces. Service asks for courage, discipline, and sacrifice, but it also requires something quieter and often overlooked: hope. Hope that their efforts will protect others. Hope that peace is possible, even when conflict says otherwise. Hope that the world can move toward something better, one difficult step at a time. Veterans remind us that hope is not soft or passive. It's steady. It's resilient. It's the belief that the work

The Difference between Hope and Optimism EP 211

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/11/10

“Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.” — Vaclav Havel This is one of my favorite reminders about hope. Optimism assumes the ending will be good. Hope says, even if it isn’t, the journey still matters. Hope is what lets us keep showing up, even when the results are uncertain. It’s what fuels creativity, connection, and courage, the quiet belief

Hey friend, it’s time for your Daily Dose of Hope. And this one’s for the part of you that feels like you’re somehow falling behind. You’re not. You’re right on time. I know it’s easy to look around and feel like everyone else has it figured out.

Here’s your Daily Dose of Hope — and today, you can borrow a little belief from me. If you’re doubting yourself right now, that’s okay. I’ll hold the belief for you until you’re ready again.

You Don’t Have to Be On Fire to Be Doing Fine EP 206

2025/11/03

Some days, you’re just… okay. Not soaring. Not sinking. Just somewhere in the middle. And that’s actually a win. We live in a world that celebrates being “on fire,” but quiet consistency — showing up even when it’s not shiny —that’s the real magic. If you got out of bed. Answered that email. Kept a promise to yourself. You’re doing great. Progress doesn’t always roar, sometimes it’s just a whisper that says, “I’m still here.” Keep going. You’re doing better than you think.

What 200 Episodes of Hope Have Taught Me EP 205

Two hundred episodes. That’s a lot of words, a lot of mornings, and a lot of hope.When I started Daily Dose of Hope, I wasn’t sure how long I’d keep going—or if people would even want this kind of content in their feeds. The world can feel cynical, and hope sometimes gets dismissed as fluffy or naive. But here’s what I’ve learned after 200 episodes: People are more open to hope than we think. Cynicism isn’t the default—it’s just louder. Most of us want to believe that things can get better,

Stay Curious, My Friends EP 204

2025/10/30

Who was the first person to look at a fried piece of dough, covered in sugar, and think, “You know what this needs? Jelly. Inside.”That’s the kind of curiosity I want in my life. Someone looked at something already good — a donut! — and still imagined how it could be better. That’s not greed, that’s creativity. That’s the spark that keeps us moving forward, asking, “What if?” Curiosity is one of the most hopeful traits we have. It means we believe there’s more to learn, more to explore, more to

When the World Feels Heavy EP 203

2025/10/29

Some days, the news is almost too much to bear. Images of war, suffering, and loss flood our screens, and we’re left holding emotions too big for our hearts — anger, grief, disappointment, helplessness.It’s human to feel all of it. You’re not broken for being upset, or for feeling powerless to change what’s happening. Those emotions are signals that you care deeply — that your heart is still tender in a world that can feel harsh. That’s not weakness. That’s evidence of hope. Here’s what helps

Why We’re Craving In-Person Connection EP 202

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/28

After years of screens, schedules, and virtual everything, something in us is shifting. We’re craving in-person experiences again — real laughter that echoes, hugs that last longer than a second, eye contact that says “I see you.” It’s not just nostalgia. It’s hope. When we gather in person, we’re reminded that we belong to something bigger than our to-do lists and inboxes. We see possibility reflected in someone else’s story. We witness resilience not as a concept, but as a living, breathing

Why Hope is Worth Nurturing EP 201

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/27

Hope doesn’t just happen—it’s something we grow. Like a plant reaching for the light, it needs attention, warmth, and care. When life feels uncertain or heavy, it’s tempting to believe that hope is naive or unrealistic. But hope isn’t blind optimism—it’s a quiet form of courage. It’s the belief that something good can still emerge, even when things are challenging or unpredictable. When we nurture hope, we give ourselves permission to imagine better days. We allow creativity, problem-solving, and

The Gentle Practice of Self-Compassion EP 200

Resilience doesn’t mean pushing through everything without rest. True resilience makes room for self-compassion.Hope doesn’t demand perfection, it invites presence. When you treat yourself kindly after a mistake, you’re planting seeds of daily hope that remind you: you’re human, and that’s enough.Self-compassion isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. It tells your mind, “You can try again tomorrow.” It's also about being kind to ourselves. As a life-long self-critic, who regularly had mental chatter about

Being Open to the New EP 199

Hope thrives in open spaces, those moments when we loosen our grip on what’s familiar and make room for what might be next. Being open to new ideas, opportunities, and perspectives doesn’t mean we’re flaky or unfocused. It means we trust that growth won’t undo us, it will evolve us.It’s common cling to what we know because it feels safe. We all do it, even when that “safe” thing has stopped serving us, it’s still predictable. But daily hope asks us to trade certainty for curiosity. It says, “What
