I believe joy is a gift that we can all access. It’s something deep-rooted and unshaken by circumstances unlike happiness which relies on things going our way and let’s be honest, life doesn’t always play ball. Joy on the other hand, is grounded in contentment, a quiet confidence that even when life is messy, there’s something steady and whole inside of you.

Resilience isn’t fixed—it’s something we grow with time, practice, and a bit of self-compassion. When it feels like everything is coming at you at once, see it as an opportunity to strengthen that resilience muscle.
