Today we’re talking about joy, real joy, when trauma and grief have been part of your story. My guest is Wanda Thibodeaux, a Christian author and writer, and she brings such an honest, practical take: how to pursue joy without pretending pain didn’t happen. We talk about “training your brain” toward what’s good, why Philippians 4:8 matters more than we think, and what to do when your life feels like a dumpster fire season. This episode is hope with tools.
