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.
