384. This Is Not As Good As It Gets! How to Start Hoping Again When Life Feels Heavy.

Do you feel like you’re just getting through the day? Like you’re surviving instead of truly living? Maybe you feel stuck, exhausted, or quietly wondering if things will ever get better. If that’s you, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about wonder—and how rediscovering it can bring life, joy, and hope back into places that feel dark or stagnant. As we move through the Christmas season and toward a new year, I felt God impress this word wonder on my heart. Wonder isn’t just a feeling—it’s a posture. It’s the belief that there is more than what we see right now. That God is still working. That surprises, redemption, and beauty are still possible, even after long seasons of pain. In this episode, I unpack what wonder really is, why it matters so much, and how losing it slowly drains the life out of us. We talk about how a lack of wonder can leave us feeling flat, hopeless, and resigned—like this is “as good as it gets.” But that is not God’s story for your life. I truly believe God wants to restore wonder in your heart—this Christmas season and beyond. You are not forgotten. You are not stuck forever. And even if it feels silent right now, God is still working behind the scenes. love, Brittany Ready to go deeper? Here's where to start: The Unstuck Workshop — $37 and self-paced.
