The Power of Joy: A Conversation with Rev. Dr. Latricia Edwards Scriven

I would absolutely say that joy is a choice. And so I often think of that scripture as 'm-o-u-r-n in the morning' right, and so it's a fallacy, I think, to think that a person of joy doesn't experience morning and experience grief. Anyway, woo, just fine, like everything is just fine, and I love who I see in the mirror.
Imagine living each day with a sense of joy that defies the odds. That's what Rev. Dr. Latricia Edwards Scriven brings to the table in this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars'. Joining hosts Steph and Beth, Latricia dives into why joy is more than just a fleeting feeling—it's a conscious choice and a powerful act of defiance. You'll hear about the stark differences between joy and happiness and how you can cultivate joy even in the toughest times.
Latricia shares her insights on using self-talk and spiritual truths to foster joy, offering practical tips that anyone can apply. The conversation also touches on how our perspectives shape our experiences and the role of gratitude in maintaining a joyful outlook. By the end of this episode, you'll see how community love and support can transform your emotional landscape. It's a heartwarming, thought-provoking discussion that promises to leave you feeling inspired and ready to embrace joy in your own life.
