Our Freedom to Choose

from Morning Cuppa Joy · host Robyn DeLong

Send us Fan MailEven when life upends everything we’ve planned and hoped for, one freedom still remains—the freedom to choose our response.This week’s Cuppa Joy explores the layered concept of choice—not simple choices like chocolate or vanilla, but the deeper choices we face when life upends our plans and leaves us confronting circumstances we never would have chosen for ourselves. Inspired by the life and work of Holocaust survivor and psychologist Dr. Edith Eva Eger, along with the writings of Viktor Frankl, this episode reminds us of our power to choose our response even in life’s hardest moments.This episode is dedicated to Edith Eva Eger, whose wisdom continues to inspire courage, healing, and hope.If something in today’s Cuppa stirred a thought or a memory, sparked a question, or simply made you want to reach out, I’d love to hear from you.
