Joy is easy to embrace when life is going well. But what does it look like to trust joy when circumstances are difficult, uncertain, or completely out of your control?

In this episode of Offstage and On Duty, Rhyan and Rachael have an honest conversation about choosing joy—not as a feeling, but as a perspective. They discuss the tension between acknowledging life’s challenges while still making room for gratitude, hope, and the good things that exist alongside them.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that joy and hardship can coexist—and that sometimes trusting joy is an act of courage.

Join the conversation and be encouraged to look for the light, even when the road feels heavy.

Welcome to Backstage Huddle, a special encouragement series from Offstage and On Duty created specifically for Stage Wives.

While our regular podcast episodes feature longer conversations and interviews, Backstage Huddle is a space for practical encouragement, therapeutic tools, and honest reminders for the unique challenges that come with life behind the scenes. Think of it as a quick huddle with a friend who understands.

In this episode, Rhyan shares one of the most powerful tools she's learned from therapy: separating what you're feeling from what is true.

When loneliness, overwhelm, comparison, fear, or exhaustion start telling stories, it's easy to mistake feelings for facts. Together, we'll explore a simple exercise that can help you challenge anxious thoughts, take your thoughts captive, and anchor yourself in truth without dismissing what you're feeling.

If you've been carrying a heavy mental load lately, this conversation is for you.

Grab a notebook, settle in, and welcome to the huddle.
