Letting Yourself Be Happy: Why Joy Takes Courage

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of The Pivotal Point w/ Dwayne Barnes, I open up about a powerful spiritual shift I experienced — when my intuition told me, “Now it’s time to remember the good.”

After months of trauma excavation, emotional truth-telling, and deep healing, I’m learning what it really means to let myself be happy. And the truth is: joy takes courage — especially when you’ve been through it.

I share:

• The miracle of my birth (I was conceived while my mother was on birth control pills)

• The pivotal moment when Spirit told me to focus on joy

• Why joy doesn’t mean you’re bypassing the pain — it means you're choosing freedom

• What it means to be a wounded and healed healer

• How to start allowing yourself to feel good — even if it’s one minute at a time

This episode is your permission slip to smile again. To laugh again. To choose joy without guilt.

🧠 Because healing is only half the journey — letting yourself be happy is the other side.
