Episode Title: Making Life Choices Hey friends, it’s your girl Ibeekaymii, today on Life Happens Podcast, we’re talking about something that touches every part of our lives (choices). From the moment we open our eyes to the moment we lay our heads down at night, we’re faced with decisions that shape our journey, our growth, our happiness and even our legacy. We’ll explore the essence of choice, how every decision carries weight and how even when life doesn’t go as planned your power to respond remains. We’ll also get practical by sharing a four-step framework you can use today to make wiser choices, plus I want to hear from you so drop your thoughts, stories and lessons on Instagram @life.happenspodcast and in the comments under the spotify box. Life isn’t something happening to us in a vacuum, it’s a dance in which we lead and follow, sway and resist. And here’s a secret: not choosing is still a choice. When we let indecision become our default, we allow life to drive us. But you’re the driver. You have the steering wheel. Recognizing this truth isn’t meant to burden you, it’s meant to empower you, to remind you daily that you have agency, that your life is not a script you’re forced to follow but a story you get to write. Choices don’t only shape where we end up, they also define who we become during the journey. You can decide to learn even when you fail, to grow stronger when you’re hurt and to extend grace when you feel betrayed. That brings us to an even deeper truth: how we respond to life’s circumstances is itself a choice. We can let setbacks settle into bitterness or volcano into motivation. We can let rejection harden our hearts or refine our character. We can let disappointment steal our dreams or fuel a comeback story that inspires others. Picture this: you put months of energy into a project or relationship, and still it crumbles. It’s crushing. But right there, in that moment of despair, you have two options. You can choose to see that ending as proof of your inadequacy or you can choose to see it as a lesson in resilience, an invitation to pivot, a chance to trust God’s timing. That decision if bitter or better is as consequential as the initial choice to begin. Now, I want this episode to be more than just listening; I want it to be a conversation.
