Finding Hope Right Where You Are | Alyss...

THE GIRL NAMED BLAKE
About this episode

Blogger and author Alyssa Bethke joins Blake to talk about not focusing on what you lack and start feeling grateful and satisfied with what you have. Listen in as they touch on topics like fear, worry, dissatisfaction, anxiety, and body image. Alyssa walks us through issues that rob us of our joy and helps us recognize them for what they are: distractions.
