Delusional Optimism: Choosing Joy Without Denial

Delusionally Optimistic: Choosing Joy Without Denial is a reflective, faith-anchored episode of the iLEAD | Misti Blue Podcast that explores how to choose joy amid change, grief, and uncertainty—especially during the holiday season. Through a personal Christmas story and real-life perspective shifts, Misti Green shares how delusional optimism is not denial, but a grounded choice to live settled rather than suspended. This episode encourages listeners navigating divorce, loss, transition, or emotional heaviness to release comparison, embrace hope, and rediscover joy without needing all the answers.
