If you’ve ever felt like your circumstances were too heavy to carry… like joy was out of reach or healing was just a distant hope… this conversation is going to minister to your soul.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the radiant Nikki Cruise—speaker, encourager, and walking miracle. Nikki spent 11 years in a wheelchair, battling a debilitating illness that could have easily stolen her faith, her identity, and her sense of purpose. But through it all, she chose joy. And that decision changed everything.

We talk about the mindset shifts that led to her healing, the role of neuroplasticity and gratitude in recovery, and how we can reclaim our joy—even when life feels unfair or uncertain. Nikki’s story is not just one of physical healing but of emotional and spiritual restoration too. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that joy isn’t something we find once we’ve “fixed” our lives—it’s something we choose, moment by moment, even in the middle of the storm.

You’ll walk away from this episode encouraged, empowered, and reminded that no matter what you’re facing, joy is still available to you. Healing is possible. Purpose is waiting. And you are not alone.
