For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Maggie Dennis about strategies for decluttering or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!

How can we possibly be hopeful? Optimistic, even, in times like these? How in the world can we hear and see all the pain that's going on around us ... and be joyful? Renowned author Brant Hansen provides insights for a more joyful life in this discussion on his latest book, "Life is Hard, God is Good, Let's Dance." In today's episode, Brant examines the impact of media and negativity, the importance of forgiveness and gratitude, and the role of habits in shaping our lives.
