Have you ever gotten to the end of the day and thought, "I am completely failing"? As a parent, in your marriage, at work, spiritually. Everyone else's house seems cleaner, their kids seem happier, and they somehow remember every single activity. You're just trying to make it through a Tuesday.

Today I'm slowing that thought down. "I'm failing" can feel like a fact, but most of the time it's a conclusion. Grab the free worksheet and follow along as we figure out what's actually happening, what standard you're measuring yourself against, and the one small thing you can do next.

Ever have that one feeling you keep trying to outrun? You scroll, you sleep, you stay busy, you joke about it, or you tell yourself you shouldn't feel that way. And it keeps coming back, usually bigger and louder than before.

Sound familiar?

This week, therapist Braeden Jensen is talking about helping teens and young adults understand their emotions without letting those emotions make every decision.

He shares why unpleasant emotions aren’t automatically bad, what they might be trying to tell us, and how shame can turn “I feel anxious” into “Something is wrong with me.”

Plus another option most of us were never taught.

You pray every day. You're trying so hard to stay positive. And you still feel anxious at work, moody by the time you get home, and quietly wondering what you're doing wrong spiritually.

This week I'm answering a listener question about finding joy when life still feels hard. We talk about the difference between happiness and joy, why your emotions were never meant to measure your relationship with God, and one small thing to try at the end of each day that isn't a gratitude list.
