  • Summary

  • Hey friend! Welcome to Seeking Happy, Finding Joy. Are you holding on to things even though they leave you feeling guilty, disappointed, or unfulfilled? Are you struggling to navigate a big life transition or feel lost because life doesn’t look the way you expected? Have you discovered that when you find happiness it’s fleeting and when the moment has passed, you are left feeling the same as before? Let’s face it – life is hard, sometimes. So I’m glad you’re here! This podcast will help you discover what’s keeping you stuck; let go of your fears, and discover who you are; so YOU can become the bold, resilient woman God created you to be; confident in your purpose, unafraid to speak your mind, chase your dreams, and have the courage to create a life you love – filled with great joy – in spite of the hard stuff. I’m your host, Sherry Shipley; a Jesus-loving, motorcycle riding mom and life coach. I’ve survived incredibly bumpy roads and navigated my way through difficult roadblocks to arrive at my destination – strong, content, and living a life I truly love. But it wasn’t always this way. After losing my husband in an accident and then my newly purchased home to a natural disaster – I understand hard! Finding the path back to my light was a long and at times, a difficult journey. I leaned hard into my faith and did all the things: counseling, grief share, therapy … you name it. I tried desperately to be happy again, but what I discovered is that happiness is fleeting – it is tied to a moment. And when that moment passes, so does the feeling. And the cycle begins again. I finally realized that I was fiercely holding on to a life that no longer existed; and in order to receive the goodness and abundance God has in store for me in my next season, I had to release some things. And in my journey, I discovered joy. Do you believe God is calling you to a life of “more” but have no idea what that looks like or where to begin? If you are ready to become the bold, confident, resilient woman God created you to be; to have the courage to color outside the lines; be unafraid to speak your mind, and chase your dreams – this podcast is for you! Because while we often cannot control the circumstance, we DO get to choose what to do with it. Joy, sweet sister, is quite different from Happy. Grab a helmet; hop on the back of my Harley and hold on tight. You’re gonna love the freedom and joy of feeling wind on your face! I’m SO glad you’re here!

  • 06 | Guilt Stealing your Joy? 7 Ways to Beat That Thief

    06 | Guilt Stealing your Joy? 7 Ways to Beat That Thief
    Jun 9 2024

    Hi friend,

    We’ve all made mistakes at some point, right? Made a poor decision or bad choice?

    You’ve looked back and wish you’d had chosen differently? “If I had been a better parent; hadn’t taken that job; married that person; listened to my mother; said that horrible thing … “

    We have all done or said things we regret. But all too often that regret morphs into Guilt.

    What happens when you can’t move past the guilt?

    When it just keeps coming back to the forefront of your mind in a way that’s keeping you stuck?

    Friend – that unhealthy place is NOT what Jesus wants for you!

    God doesn’t want regret or guilt to rob us of our joy. Joy in Him, Joy of our family, the Joy of living!

    Because guilt is NOT an emotion from Him.

    Your past is nothing more than a place you’ve been

    It does not define who you are or what God wants to do in your future!

    Today we’re going talk about where guilt comes from; why you need to give it to God and, 7 ways you can do just that.

    Genesis 3:10 – first guilt

    Psalm 51:3-4 – David’s guilt

    Matthew 26:75 – Peter’s guilt

    John 10:10 – the enemy’s plan

    Ephesians 2:13 – how God sees you

    Romans 8:1 – our redemption

    Ephesians 1:7 – our redemption

    Psalm 139:23-24 – ask Him

    1 John 1:9 - confess

    Isaiah 1:18 – repent

    Phil 3:13-14 – press forward

    Romans 8:28 – give thanks

    Ephesians 2:10 – good works

    Romans 10:17 – His Word

    Jeremiah 29:11 – your future

    You Are:

    John 15:16 - Chosen

    Psalm 103:12 - Forgiven

    Eph 2:10 - Special

    Daniel 12:3 - Lovely

    Eccel 3:11 - Beautiful

    Gen 1:31 - Created

    Psalm 139:13 - Unique

    Psalm 18:35 - Strong

    1 Cor 6:20 – Precious

  • 05 | More Than Surviving … 6 Lessons Life Storms Teach Us

    05 | More Than Surviving … 6 Lessons Life Storms Teach Us
    May 14 2024

    Hi Friend, Faith, Trust, Gratitude … pretty easy to have, when life runs smooth, right?

    But how about when you’re navigating difficult life storms … especially the ones that come at us full force; the ones that tear down everything we believed would always be there or rip away life as we know it. How easy is it then?

    If you’ve ever experienced a nasty life storm, you may have asked yourself:

    - Is there more after this than just surviving?

    - Will I always feel broken?

    - Why would God allow me to go through this?!

    Storms that bring devastation and upheaval, are painful. I speak from personal experience!

    But also I’ve discovered if we let them, those same storms can also become the source of new life we may never have seen otherwise.

    In today’s episode using biblical principles, we are going to explore how life’s storms can actually be a catalyst to new growth and opportunities in spite of the hard.

    Scripture:

    1 Thess 5:18

    Romans 8:28

    Phil 4:7

    Matt 6:19-21

    Psalms 121:1-2

    2 Cor 12:9

    2 Corinthians 5:7

    Isaiah 55:8-9

  • 04 | Fear Keeps You Playing Small … 6 Ways to Recognize and Conquer Fear to Love Your Life Again

    04 | Fear Keeps You Playing Small … 6 Ways to Recognize and Conquer Fear to Love Your Life Again
    Dec 12 2023

    Are you frustrated because you’re not living the life you know you were meant for, because you let fear rule instead?

    Are you FULLY using your gifts and talents to create a life you love, or is fear making you play small?

    It’s really, really important to understand what fear is, and how to recognize when you’re in that space, because if you don’t, fear can keep you from living a full, satisfying and joyful life!!!!

    Fear is a tool the enemy uses against us to make us miserable and keep us from chasing our dreams.

    Fear is actually unbelief – which is the very opposite of Faith

    God desires us to walk by Faith, but the enemy wants us to walk in fear

    I know firsthand how crippling fear of the unknown can be!!

    How it can keep you from living an abundant life filled with peace and joy

    Once I chose faith over fear, my life began to change

    In today’s episode, we are going to uncover how to recognize when you’re operating from a place of fear plus explore six different ways to overcome and take action so you can become the confident, courageous and resilient person God designed you to be!

    I pray this blesses you!
