Hey people! I’m finally embracing it! Moving from audio to video! This is my very first try, so let me know what you think!
If you’re new here, I’m Ayodele Alabi, God’s Minister ofJoy. Through The Happiest Girl in the Room podcast (also known as the Happiest Diaries), I share stories, scripture, and soul lessons that remind us that joy is a fruit of the Spirit, not a mood.
Here, we laugh, we heal, and we grow together.
Welcome to The Happiest Girl in the Room Video Podcast! 💙
You can probably hear it in my voice - the heaviness, the fatigue. But also the peace of someone leaning on God to hold her up. This episode is me being honest, vulnerable, and in the moment. If you’ve been feeling that same heaviness at work, I believe it’s one you need to hear. I hope this conversation helps you breathe again and remember, you’re not carrying it alone.
Being there for someone isn’t always neat. Sometimes it looks like giving space. Sometimes it means loving without agreeing. This week on the podcast, I share how to hold both truth and compassion when someone you love pulls away; or makes choices you don’t understand. Romans 12:15 reminds us: ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.’
We’ve all had “Peter moments”. Those times when we stepped out in faith, started strong, but the storms of life made us shift our gaze. In this episode of Happiest Diaries, I reflect on Matthew 14:28-31 and what Peter’s story teaches us about obedience, focus, and God’s grace when we stumble.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re sinking under pressure, doubt, or comparison, this episode is for you. Let’s learn how to keep our eyes on Jesus; the One who called us and is always ready to lift us up.
Today’s episode, ‘Can Two Walk Together?’, explores the dynamics of friendship; what happens when the love and effort you give isn’t reciprocated. Anchored in Amos 3:3, we’ll unpack the pain of one-sided friendships, the lessons they leave behind, and how to release them with peace while making room for the kind of mutual, God-aligned connections we all deserve.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21. Let’s talk about what that looks like in real life.
It’s not always easy to hold on to joy when life feels heavy and the people around you aren’t cheering you on. But God’s Word reminds us that we can rise above negativity and still live fully, no matter the atmosphere. In this episode, we dive into the theme of rising above hate, especially in the context of workplace toxicity. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we’ll explore how to protect your joy, respond with grace, and keep shining even in the most unfriendly environments.
Toxic workplace? Cold shoulders? Silent battles? Being constantly disrespected? Feeling like your kindness is taken for weakness? This one’s for you. Remember, Joy is not the absence of negativity; it’s the presence of God in the middle of it. ❤️
What do you do when the opportunity of your dreams knocks… but the timing just isn’t right?
In this episode, I’m sharing two deeply personal stories, one is mine and one is my big sister’s! Both were hard decisions. Both felt like stepping away from something good. But here’s the lesson: sometimes wisdom looks like pulling back.
Whether you’re navigating career decisions, budgeting real-life priorities, or managing emotional capacity, this episode will remind you that saying “no” isn’t a failure. It can actually be an act of faith and self-respect.
We’re talking about: 1. Why it’s okay to pause even after saying yes; 2. How to recognize when a dream isn’t for this season; 3. What happens when you choose wisdom over pressure; And 4. why you never have to apologize for honoring your limits.
A short but packed one! Listen and please share your feedback in the comments. All my love.
In this episode, we're exploring what it really means when we say, "All things work together for my good."
Life doesn’t always feel good, and sometimes we forget that the pain, the interruptions, the setbacks, delays, disappointments, even the annoying moments, are all part of a bigger plan. It took a weighted plate landing on my foot mid-workout to truly grasp the reality that every moment, good and bad, shapes us, teaches us, and ultimately works together for our good.
Let’s talk about it. Let’s unpack how purpose can be found in pain, how God uses every piece of our story, and how we can hold on to faith, even when things don’t make sense.
Halfway through the year? Here’s your permission to rest and reset with Joy. You don’t need to quit your goals, but maybe you do need to reset your rhythm.

I have a super power and I’ve been keeping it away from you. I’m sorry.
I’m sorry because it’s one anyone can cultivate so I should have told you sooner. Ofcourse it’s not too late so i’m telling it all. Here’s how I embrace peace and freedom for a more resilient and happy life - by being unoffendable!
Now you know - Unoffendability is my superpower. It can be yours too . Listen and share with all. The world needs to hear this! ❤️
“The world has changed.” How many times have you heard this lately? In a world marked by rapid change and shifting norms, Christians are tempted to compromise their values. But the Bible remains unchanged, and uncompromising in its teachings. So how do we stand firm in our commitment to biblical principles and honor God while navigating modern life's complexities?

Today, we're going to dive into a fascinating topic that affects us all: frozen perceptions. Those rigid and unchanging ways we think about ourselves, others, and the world around us. These perceptions are often formed through past experiences, cultural conditioning, and social influences, and can become deeply ingrained in our minds.
When our perceptions are ‘frozen’, we may struggle to see alternative perspectives, and our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can become stuck in a cycle of negativity and limitation. By recognizing and challenging our frozen perceptions, we can begin to break free from these limitations and develop a more nuanced, compassionate, and open-minded understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Join me as we explore the concept of frozen perceptions, and discover how recognizing and challenging them can lead to greater self-awareness, compassion, and personal growth.

From fake gist and blatant lies, to toxic relationships, we'll explore the ways in which dishonesty can impact our lives and share practical tips for navigating these difficult situations. Listen and be blessed. 😇
