If the audio sounds a little different, it’s because I’m testing out a new editing platform. Thank you for your grace while I grow and stretch in new ways. We’re learning together over here.

Today, Ramadan and Lent begin together — two sacred seasons, two faith traditions, both calling people inward at the exact same moment.

In a world that feels loud, urgent, and divided, that convergence feels meaningful.

In this episode, we reflect on what it means when millions of people practice restraint, humility, generosity, and prayer at the same time.

We explore the wisdom that comes from less —
less noise, less consumption, less ego, less autopilot.

And during this sacred season, the digital version of the Just 4 Today Prayer Journal is available as a free download through the end of Lent and Ramadan.

This is Part 2 of the Just 4 Today journaling series.

Last week, we talked about choosing yourself.
This week, we’re going deeper.

What if the shift isn’t in your circumstances…
but in your choices?

In this episode, Natasha OrtizFortier shares the realization that hit her square in the forehead:

Happiness isn’t your partner’s job.
Not your kids’.
Not your job’s.
Not your bank account’s.

It’s yours.

This conversation explores self-abandonment, overcommitment, mindset shifts, and the power of pausing long enough to notice what you really need.

Includes:
• A reflection prompt
• A grounding prayer
• An embodied reset

If you’re ready to start defining and choosing your own happiness, the Happiness Is a Choice / Better Days Journal is available through the link in bio at @careerlifeharmony.

Next Sunday: the final installment — Rooted & Rising.

In this What’s Good Wednesday episode of Just for Today, we’re talking about joy—
not the performative kind, not the “everything is fine” kind, but the kind of joy we allow ourselves to remember, create, and enjoy even in the midst of difficulty and challenging times.

Inspired by the wisdom of Audre Lorde and bell hooks, this reflection reminds us that joy and happiness are not only acts of self-care—they are acts of resistance. Joy helps us stay human, stay soft, and stay connected to what matters most.

This episode is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and ask yourself:
What joy am I allowed to hold onto right now?

🎧 Take a moment to listen, reflect, and let joy be part of your survival.
