When Life Gets “Very Lifey”

Ever notice how sometimes life feels… very lifey?

The ups. The downs. The twists you didn’t see coming. The turns you wish you didn’t have to take. It can feel like everything is coming at you all at once.

In a mixed faith relationship, this “lifey” feeling can hit even harder—especially when you’re navigating different beliefs, unexpected conversations, or big decisions.

When life starts to feel overwhelming, try this:

• Place your hands on your heart.

• Take a deep, slow breath.

• Remind yourself: Life can be challenging, and it’s okay to feel all the feelings. I’m doing the best I can, and that’s enough.

Even in the chaos, there’s beauty to be found. Challenges shape us. Clarity is always within reach. And sometimes—let’s be honest—a little humor is the best survival tool we’ve got. Speaking of humor, make sure to check out this weeks podcast episode on laughter.

So take another breath, my friend. You’ve got this.
