How to Find Joy in Unexpected Places: A Conversation with Pam Farrel
Did you know recent studies show that less than 20% of us say we’re happy? Clearly, we need more joy! This is why I’m thrilled to welcome the amazing Pam Farrell to the podcast today. As my conversation with Pam unfolded, a remarkable narrative of resilience and joy was unveiled in the face of adversity.
Picture this: waking up from a diabetic coma, and instead of sinking into despair, you find a renewed sense of purpose and joy. Pam's journey is not only inspiring, but it also serves as a potent reminder of how we can find joy in unexpected places - even in a hospital room. She showed us that by fostering a relationship with Jesus, we can discover an inexhaustible source of joy.
In the second half of our chat, Pam digs into joy's profound power and importance. With wisdom from personal experience, she shares how joy acts as a protective shield in our lives, enhancing our relationships and overall quality of life. She also shares some brilliant and practical suggestions to make every day a celebration of joy.
After all, joy is not just an emotion; it's a way of life. So, let's start nurturing joy, one day at a time.
Xo,
Donna
