Finding Joy in a Difficult Season (Exclusive On Demand Class Sneak Peak)

·40 min·1 clip
You can hold space for pain and grief while also holding happiness—these don't have to be opposites; this is the key to thriving in hard seasons.
The Relationship Recovery Podcast opens with Tiffany saying this installment is a little different and especially meaningful. She introduces an exclusive sneak peek from the five-hour on-demand class Finding Joy in a Difficult Season, including Kirsten Franklin’s talk, Experiencing Joy Despite the Chaos. Tiffany and Kirsten frame the class around practical tools for not just getting through difficult seasons, but actually thriving in them. Access is pay-what-you-can, starts at $7, and 10% of every payment is donated to fight domestic violence. Tiffany points out that it costs less than a holiday latte and is available anytime, anywhere. Kirsten then focuses on gratitude as the number one practice for lifting happiness. She says she writes down five things she is grateful for every day and does not get hung up on being perfect about it. If the same gratitude comes up again, that is fine. She suggests using a phone, paper, or a notebook and simply beginning. The act of physically writing matters because the brain registers it differently. When unhappiness feels high and happiness feels far away, she says naming gratitudes can help shift the scale. The episode closes by reminding listeners that happiness is within them and by inviting them to keep exploring the community, podcast, coaching services, courses, bundles, and other resources.
