190: Want More Joy? Here's How to Get Out of Your Own Way with Nicole Jacobsmeyer

Ever wondered how to find more joy? You’re not alone. In fact, some of the most searched questions online are about finding joy. Understanding how to access joy, especially joy in hard times, is an important part of creating a Christ-centered mindset. Sometimes we can get stuck in negative thinking and to find more joy we need to learn how to get out of our own way.
