The Happiest Lives Podcast

E114: Hormones, Happiness & The Holy Spirit

Jill M. Lillard, MA LPC Season 2025 Episode 114

What really makes us happy—and what gets in the way?

In this kickoff to a new series, Jill Lillard explores happiness from a whole-person, Spirit-led perspective. Drawing on her experience as a therapist, coach, and ministry leader, she unpacks how our thoughts, hormones, and spiritual life all interact to shape our emotional well-being.

You’ll learn:

  • Why happiness isn’t about ease or getting what you want
  • How biology and belief both impact your mood
  • What the Holy Spirit has to do with joy—even on hard days

If you’ve ever said, “I just want to be happy,” this episode is for you.

Want to learn how to process emotions with God instead of pushing them down?
