We are often told that happiness is a choice. That's why we encourage people to "choose happiness" or "live your best life." But it's not that easy, right? No matter how simple the words may sound the action is not simple at all. Even if you want to be happy, you can't always make yourself feel good. There are plenty of reasons, legitimate reasons, why some people aren't happy: they may have bad relationships, they're in bad jobs or they're struggling with mental health issues. There are so many and too many to tackle in one episode, but we step in to discuss 3 of them.

In this episode, we bring back Women Empowerment Enthusiast and Author, Kim Campbell. She has joined us to share her journey of writing her new book, A NEW ME!

The book is written in a conversational tone that makes it easy to read and understand even if you are just starting out in your faith journey. The book is broken down into several areas. Here are just a few: Living a Faith-based Life on Purpose, Growing from our Past, Never Let Your Light Dim, The Spirit of Excellence, Walking in God's Glory, and Living in the Present Moment and so much more.

The Church is supposed to be a safe space for the broken and wounded. The Church is supposed to be a place of healing for those wounded by others. The Church is supposed to be a place of peace for those wounded by life’s challenges. The Church is supposed to be a place where people can grow in their faith and experience God’s love and grace. But, sometimes that does not happen and in those instances, you can experience one of the ultimate pains of, “Church Hurt!”

Episode 56 formally introduces my new ebook, ”Giving Yourself Grace Daily”! So excited to speak about this beautiful labor of self-love journey with our excellent listeners. Tiffany Sinceno, our gracious host, of @Relationshipsonthego. She is a fabulous Psychotherapist/ Relationship Expert, and I was honored to be interviewed by her on her very engaging Relationship Summit.

What happens if your inner circle friend does not stand up for your character among people that simply don’t know you? Do you think that could be an accident or maybe people just don't want to get involved? Should your inner circle friends defend your character?
