Listen "355: How I Started Trusting Good Things"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all felt it—the pit in your stomach that says the good can’t last, or the ache that whispers the pain will never end. Living braced for impact robs us of the very joy and resilience we’re longing for. In this episode, Justin and Abi get personal about financial fears, health crises, PTSD, and the cycles of marriage that tested their ability to trust goodness. They share how childhood pain shaped their anxiety about loss, and what helped them shift from sabotage and foreboding to presence and freedom. From bite-sized safety practices to the science of post-traumatic growth, they unpack how to expand your capacity for joy, let go of false control, and anchor your well-being in something deeper than circumstances. If you’ve ever feared the other shoe will drop—or felt stuck in a season that won’t end—this conversation will remind you: you can make it through, and you will be okay.
