What 200 Episodes of Hope Have Taught Me EP 205

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/31

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

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

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

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

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

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/24

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

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/23

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

The Generosity of Spirit EP 198

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/22

Generosity isn’t just about money or time, it’s about energy. When you share encouragement, offer understanding, or give someone the benefit of the doubt, you are practicing the kind of generosity that multiplies hope.In a world that feels quick to criticize every act of kindness is an act of rebellion. It says, “I choose connection over cynicism.”What if today you gave a little more grace, to yourself and to others? What if you assumed people were doing their best, even when it’s hard to

Resilience Is a Muscle EP 197

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/21

We talk about resilience like it’s something you’re born with, but it’s more like a muscle, you build it through use. Every time life throws something unexpected your way, and you bend instead of break, that’s resilience strengthening beneath the surface.You might not notice it in the moment, but later you realize: “I handled that. I’m stronger now.” That’s daily resilience, steady, practiced, earned. You have a lifetime of proof that you have already overcome hardships, you’ve made it through

The Quiet Strength of Hope EP 196

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/20

Hope isn’t loud. It doesn’t always shout or sparkle. Sometimes it’s the quiet decision to get up again after a sleepless night, to open your laptop, to journal how you’re feeling, or to reach out and ask for help, or maybe it’s taking one small step forward when your heart feels heavy.That’s the real power of daily hope, the kind that whispers, “Try again,” even when you’d rather hide. Hope doesn’t erase pain or frustration. It walks beside them and says, “You’re not done yet.”When we choose hope

The Magic of Art Journaling EP 195

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/17

I’ve shared before about my art practice – which isn’t all that fancy. I essentially have enjoyed creating collages out of papers I’ve painted or doodled on or stamped or a combination of all of the above. That got me looking at videos about junk journals and art journals. I’ll share my 2 favorite YT channels if this is something you want to explore and I hope you do. Art journaling isn’t about being an artist. It’s about giving your inner world a place to breathe. When you open that blank

The Quiet Power of Helping Others EP 194

2025/10/16

Helping others doesn’t just make the world better — it makes us better.Way back in episode 5, I shared the HOPE acronym that my friend O’tion created. It stands for Help One Person Everyday and I wanted to remind myself and you why that’s so important, not just for others but for ourselves. When we reach out a hand, offer a kind word, or share what we know, something subtle but powerful happens. We stop focusing on what we lack and start noticing what we already have to give.

Creating Fall Traditions (That Actually Fill You Up)...

2025/10/15

There’s something about fall that invites us to slow down. The air changes, the light softens, and suddenly it feels like permission to breathe a little deeper.This season, instead of rushing through to the holidays, what if you created small, intentional fall traditions — not because you should, but because they remind you what matters most? Think simple, sensory rituals: Lighting a candle before you start work each morning Taking a weekend walk just to hear the crunch of leaves Hosting a

What Our Pets Can Teach Us About Being Present EP 192

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/14

Our pets don’t worry about tomorrow’s to-do list or replay yesterday’s mistakes. They live entirely in this moment — the warm patch of sun on the floor, the sound of your voice, the joy of a walk or a nap.When you think about it, that’s a kind of wisdom most of us spend years trying to relearn. A dog never checks her phone mid-snuggle. A cat doesn’t wonder if she’s productive enough while she’s stretched out in total relaxation. They simply are. Our pets remind us that presence isn’t about doing

Hope Is Not Optimism It's a Discipline EP 191

We're diving into something that's been on a lot of our minds lately: how do we hold onto hope when the world feels like it's spinning out of control?I recently came across a powerful piece by Shannon Watts—author, activist, and founder of Moms Demand Action—about her own journey with hope over the past two years. And what she has to say might surprise you, because this isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. Full post

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that our mental health deserves the same attention, care, and respect we give to our physical health. We often think about mental health in terms of crisis or diagnosis, but most of the time, it's about the small, daily choices we make that either nourish or deplete us. Here are two practical things you can start doing today that actually make a difference.

A Note to the Person Who Always Puts Others First EP 189

You've been taught that selflessness is a virtue. That good people sacrifice. That love means putting others' needs before your own. And there's truth in that, generosity and care are beautiful things.But somewhere along the way, you learned that your needs come last. Or maybe that they don't come at all. If you’ve ever felt that way, this is for you.

You know that itchy, restless feeling when you're bored but nothing sounds appealing, often it shows up for me when I have loads of things to do, but my brain is telling me it’s not interesting or exciting. When boredom shows up we all know where we usually turn: straight to our phones for a hit of easy distraction. But that rarely helps. Today I’ve got three alternatives that can actually help.

The Art of Apologizing: What Real Forgiveness...

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/07

We talk a lot about forgiveness as something victims should offer, as if it's primarily about letting go for your own peace of mind. But we rarely talk enough about what forgiveness requires from the other side: a genuine, meaningful apology from the person who caused harm.If you find yourself needing to apologize, don't wait for the perfect words. They don't exist. What exists is your willingness to be honest, humble, and accountable. That's where real apologies live—and where real forgiveness

Happiness vs. Contentment: The Expectation Gap EP 186

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/10/06

We often use "happiness" and "contentment" interchangeably. I wanted to find out the difference and it turns out they very different states of being, and understanding the distinction has been really helpful so I wanted to share that with you. Happiness is a spark; contentment is a steady flame. When we expect that life will include both peaks and valleys, we can see the value in both. Expect that you can be content with your life while still wanting it to grow. Expect that letting go of how
