Description

Are you struggling? You’re not alone.Dear friend - the reality is - everyone struggles. We all face adversity in life, but it’s how we respond to it that sets us up for success. It is in life's greatest challenges that we discover our true strength and resilience. Someone in our online community recently reached out to us and asked, ‘Do you ever struggle?’. It is important to remember that you are just seeing others’ ‘highlight reels’ on social media. When we engage in constant comparison, we often measure ourselves against unrealistic standards. People tend to showcase their best moments, highlight reels, and successes on social media. This can create an illusion that everyone else is leading a perfect and joyful life while our own lives fall short.In this episode, we are touching on struggles and ways that we can be intentional about how we get through these rough times.  We share about finding someone to talk to, leaning into our struggles, and changing our perspective. It is often in times of struggle that we learn some of life’s greatest lessons. So, no matter where you are today or what is going on in your life - we want to encourage you. You are not alone, sweet friend.Episode Highlights: People are struggling all around us.If you’re not struggling, you’re not human.Comparison is the thief of joy.Finding someone to talk to.Leaning into our struggles.Our thoughts are powerful.Changing our perspective.Don’t be afraid to change.Resilience is built when you feel safe.Serving others fills your bucket.Never underestimate the power of a kind gesture.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon’s WebsiteThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Welcome to Life's a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together! We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great - but something was missing.We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything - except for the kids - we kept the kids. As scary as it was to make this big change - we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family. We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii. From there, our whole world opened up.We’ve experienced the highs and lows of parenting, marriage, running a business from home, finances, moving across the ocean, making new friends, and maybe doing things a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of our family life - and that’s what we want to share with you.We are so grateful you are here, joining us as we pull back the curtains to have some fun together and chat about what we’ve learned during our unusual journey and what we’re doing each day to make the most of it. It’s true what they say, “Life’s a Tripp,” - but despite the chaos, we want to show you that life can be lived on your terms. This is our story. How will you write yours?
