Episode Description:
In this episode, I explore the true nature of hope—not as a delicate, fleeting feeling, but as a gritty, unyielding force that shows up when life knocks us down.

Drawing from personal experiences and reflections, I’ll share how hope can be messy, raw, and relentless—bloodied and bruised but always ready to rise again. This is hope as a fighter, not a whisper, and it’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can still find the strength to keep going.

Tune in for a powerful reframe of what it means to hold onto hope.
