Ep 29: Why Your Joy is a Daily Practice, Not a Destination w/ Amberly Lago
What if joy isn’t something you find at the end of your journey, but something you choose again and again, even in the moments that feel impossible?
Together, Anniston and Amberly dive into the real truth about resilience: that it isn’t about staying upbeat or pretending everything is fine. It’s about staying open, grounded in gratitude, and anchored in faith even when life breaks you open. They explore how joy can coexist with grief, why vulnerability is a form of courage, and what it takes to rebuild your life when your body, identity, or dreams shift overnight.
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why joy isn’t a destination but a daily practice
- The truth about resilience and how to cultivate it in real, messy life
- How Amberly found strength through faith, community, recovery, and grace
