EPISODE RECAP
Is it possible for us to find joy in the mundane, day-to-day tasks of parenthood?
Candace Payne says absolutely.
You may remember our guest, Candace. In 2016, she filmed a four-minute video of her laughing while wearing a Star Wars’ Chewbacca mask. She never intended for the video to be seen by anyone other than her friends, much less become a record holder as the fastest-spread video in YouTube history. And though her video is one to remember, the message Candace shares on her newly-erected platform is one we’re most interested to share with you.
Candace, a wife, mom, author, and speaker spends her days sharing her philosophy on joy, and most particularly, how we can have defiant joy. Defiant joy, Candace shares, is living and acting happily, no matter what life brings you.
As parents, we set the tone for joy in our homes and our children follow our lead. To learn how to shift your perspective from pessimistic to optimistic, how to stay joyful in seasons of change, and other helpful insights, tune in to this week’s episode of the Parent Cue Live podcast!
