Listen "LB SPECIAL: When Life Feels Heavy: Finding Hope, Questioning Faith, and Creating Joy Again"

Episode Synopsis

What if the new year isn't about reinventing yourself—but about gently returning to hope? In this special Season Rewind episode of Live Brighter with Tara, we're revisiting three powerful conversations that speak to the heart of renewal: how we move through life's hardest challenges, what it means to question faith when things don't make sense, and how we intentionally create joy—even after deep pain. Together, we'll explore what it looks like to walk through the "dark night of the soul," wrestle honestly with God's promises, and choose joy not as denial—but as a grounded, courageous act. Through personal stories, spiritual reflection, and emotional insight, this mash-up offers space for honesty, healing, and hope. This episode is a reminder that even after loss, confusion, or exhaustion, a new season is possible—and you don't have to rush to arrive there. ✨ Ready to step into the new year with clarity, compassion, and renewed purpose? Tune in now to reflect, reset, and live brighter—one intentional step at a time.   Get the free Barf Plan HERE - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrbikzjZIyJegIWjLMzqElmHw0SQVEBpZX-xA20GVDaF06Sw/viewform   For free affirmations: https://forms.wix.com/92afa3c4-cdce-4001-8b89-7d69785eeab9:0b817886-a600-4dee-9177-f0847ad749cc   Get the Unravel Notebook Here: https://www.amazon.com/Unravel-Notebook-Tara-Wolfe-Schaan/dp/B0CTPDWJ8L/ref=sr_1_1?crid=8HEZHNF2F962&keywords=unravel+notebook%2C+schaan&qid=1707165877&sprefix=unravel+notebook%2C+schaan%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1   FREE MEDITATION: https://youtu.be/LagCjvLunnQ?si=gBJzNKOThfnrMdFt     PODCAST CHAPTERS: 00:51 My dark night of the soul 03:08 Re-looking at my beliefs and redefining myself 04:38 What I learned from my darkest season 07:28 Love as the answer 10:04 The promise that things work together for good 13:33 Four good things that came from my experience 15:15 Five helps for when you're going through a hard time 20:11 Joy vs. happiness 20:52 How our belief system shapes joy 24:00 Purpose, relationships, and emotional health 26:50 Using our choices to create change 29:31 Creating joy internally and externally   Follow us on our Socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livebrighterwithtara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Live-Brighter-with-Tara/61552844352218/   Listen on apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-brighter-with-tara/id1706176973 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XRuiEdnUyrHjXi0kA5F8H Grow 1% each day, I believe in you!
