Maybe you're short on joy right now- maybe I can help. If you're battling acute or chronic pain–physical or emotional,
If you're grieving a loss–of a loved one, of a dream, of a physical or intellectual ability,
If you barely have time to take a breath,
If you're caring for someone else–an aging parent, a sick friend, or some lively, needy kids,
If your life isn't at all what you thought it would be–or wanted it to be–at this juncture,
Just know this: there's hope, my friend.
Jill Baughan shares how asking for help unlocks unexpected joy in difficult times during this interview.

Episode 245: Ask For Help
Published 18 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Maybe your first inclination in difficulty, like mine, is to announce I'm fine to the general public, even if you're not. Fall down a flight of stairs? You're fine. Just have a baby or two? You're sleep deprived, hormonal, overwhelmed, and exhausted, but you're fine. Just lost someone important to you? You're not sure what to do with all this grief, but really you don't need to talk to anyone about it because you're fine. all manner of mayhem swirling around you.
