53: When Things Don't Go the Way You Hoped They Would | How LDS Moms Can Find Hope After Disappointment

from Think New Thoughts · host Emily Ricks

What do you do when life turns out differently than you hoped? Maybe your teenager made a choice that broke your heart. Maybe you didn't get the opportunity, answer, relationship, or outcome you had prayed for. Perhaps a loss, diagnosis, financial setback, or unexpected change has left you wondering how to stay positive when you're genuinely hurting. In this episode, you'll learn why moving forward doesn't require you to minimize your disappointment or pretend everything is okay. You'll discover how to allow grief without adding regret, shame, or fear—and how to replace arguments with the past and hopeless predictions about the future with gratitude, faith, and trust in God. When life doesn't go according to plan, you can honor what hurts while still believing that hope and beauty are ahead.   Download My Free Guide: Catch That Thought A simple, faith-based tool to help you notice negative self-talk and gently shift it to new, more joy-filled thoughts.   Book a Free Mini Session With Me  Are you curious about coaching?
