The Secret to a Life of Joy
The Joyful You Podcast
In this episode, I dive into something that’s been on my mind ever since I heard President Nelson say, “This is the secret to a life of joy.” As someone who’s all about joy, that caught my attention. He said the secret is to come unto Christ and offer our whole soul to Him, which got me thinking—what does it mean to offer our soul? I realized that our soul is made up of both our body and spirit, so I started asking myself how I’m caring for these two parts of me. I’ll walk you through how I broke this down: what a healthy body looks and feels like, and what a healthy...

info_outlineToday I'm talking about a common thing that all of us do where we have expectations of people, sometimes called "a manual”. We want them to think, feel, and act a certain way.
The problem- people aren’t very good at being who we think they should be. Holding onto our "manuals", expecting our kids and others to be who we want them to be, just causes us a lot of unnecessary misery.
Believing someone should be different than they are, feels like love. It feels like we’re just trying to be a good mom (wife, daughter, friend, etc.) by looking out for them, but what we aren’t seeing is the misery we’re inflicting on ourselves in the process of trying to control and change them.
Join me on the podcast this week as I highlight how we hold onto our joy-sucking manuals, and why letting them go is the key to becoming A Joyful You - happier, healthier, confident, as well as improving all the relationships in your life.
Don’t forget to grab your Drop It Like It's Hot Weight Loss Strategy Blueprint if you haven’t already! It will show you why what you're currently doing to lose weight isn't working and a personal strategy for what will.
