ASK for JOY

28/08/2025

Ever notice how stress seems to melt when you witness kindness?

The other day, I watched my husband treat a stranger with compassion and dignity, and in that moment, the heaviness I had been carrying lifted.

Science shows why: acts of kindness activate the vagus nerve, lowering stress and releasing oxytocin, the hormone that builds connection and calm.

Scripture already told us this: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)

Compassion doesn’t just change the one receiving it. It heals the one giving it and even those watching.

You’ve been strong for everyone else.

But your nervous system is holding the cost.

When you pause long enough to receive compassion, not just offer it, you’ll realize the shift.

🧠 Science shows oxytocin rises with acts of connection and grace. It reduces cortisol, eases inflammation, and quiets an overactive amygdala (the brain’s fear center).

ASK for Joy™ Wellness Journey is where compassion becomes a spiritual and neurological intervention.

Because you weren’t meant to heal in isolation.

You were made to be held.

“My conclusion is that God and a healthy lifestyle is the cure all. But it was never so clear until I experienced the information from this course and the supplemental support tools that keep the energy going beyond the weekly group sessions.”

That’s what Jenny said after completing the A.S.K. for Joy™ Wellness Journey.

She’s not alone.
So many women walk through life exhausted, not because they’re weak, but because they’ve never been given tools that connect faith, neuroscience, and holistic restoration.

This isn’t about another diet, devotional, or checklist.
It’s about learning how to truly heal... body, mind, and spirit.

If something in you is stirring… you’re invited.

"You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”

If you’re still thinking about the Cultivating Joy Talk…
You’re not alone.

Maybe it was a line.
A scripture.
A breath.
A moment that made you realize…
“This is what I’ve been needing.”

But since then?
Life didn’t pause to let it sink in.

That doesn’t mean you’re not ready.
It means your soul needs more than inspiration, it needs support.

That’s why I’m offering free Sacred Rhythm Consults this week.
No pressure. No pitch.
Just space for us to talk through where you are (in body, mind, and spirit) and explore whether the ASK for Joy™ Wellness Journey is the right step.

If even one part of that talk stirred something in you…
Let’s not let it fade.

Not another motivational push but a sacred space.

For the woman who’s done surviving and wants to reconnect with her body, her breath, her God, and herself.

It wasn’t a grand gesture.
Just a quiet afternoon by the water
Soaking in the beauty of her life and mine
Grateful

Letting the rhythm of the waves remind me
This is what joy feels like when you stop trying to earn it

For a long time, I thought joy came after I got it together
After the checklist
After the healing
After everyone else’s needs were met

But what I’ve learned—and what I teach now—is this:
Joy is a rhythm you return to
A space you create
A gift you receive

And that’s what we’ll explore together inside the Cultivating Joy Talk

Just like one woman shared:
🗣️ “This experience was everything I didn’t know I needed.
It reminded me that I can feel again.
That I don’t have to carry it all alone.”

If your soul is whispering yes… this is your invitation.

This wasn’t just a home renovation.
It was a complete transformation. Inside the walls… and inside of me.

We took on this hoarder house, our first mobile home flip, and it was rough:
- Human f***s on the floor
- Rotting food in every room
- Drug paraphernalia scattered everywhere

We wore masks just to breathe. I’d feel sick after every visit.
But I stayed.

Not just because I believed in the house,
But because I was rebuilding something in myself, too.

During those two months of hard renovation work, I was learning what it meant to:
• Slow down
• Listen to my body
• Choose anchored joy. Not the surface kind, but the kind that survives the mess.

We finished the renovation.
The house sold the first weekend.

We even accepted a lower offer from someone going through a divorce because helping people is why we do this.

But what I gained was more than a sale.
I gained the rhythms that healed me.

And now, I want to share them with you.

Join me for the Cultivating Joy Talk
A live, soul-centered teaching for women of faith who are tired of just surviving and ready for a reset.
