Finding Hope When Life Feels Unfair

Allison Carmen
About this episode

Life frequently confronts us with circumstances that might appear unfair. We may encounter letdowns, such as not securing a job we were well-suited for, enduring heartbreak from a breakup, or feeling helpless in the face of societal issues we passionately believe need change. Nevertheless, amid these challenging moments, hope and resilience can be discovered. This podcast aims to provide inspiration, encouraging us to persevere and pursue what truly holds significance in our lives, even when faced with formidable obstacles or setbacks.  This episode originally aired last year, but I thought we could all use a little extra hope this week!
