You’re Fired from Worry: A Spirit-Led Invitation to Choose Joy

What if the thing stealing your peace isn’t your circumstances—but the belief that you have to fix everything?

In this episode of the Spiritually Centered Podcast, Reverend Sharon Renae delivers a message that’s part divine wake-up call, part soul-level permission slip: You’re fired from worrying. That’s right—your services are no longer needed in the department of constant concern.

Because worry is not your job. Joy is.

So many of us have been trained to believe that happiness comes after everything is solved—after the bills are paid, the people are pleased, and the chaos calms down. But Sharon flips that script. With heart and humor, she explores how we stay stuck in the cycle of stress, hoping for happiness “someday,” while the present moment quietly slips away.

💬 “Peace, be still” isn’t just a Bible story—it’s your divine authority.

Drawing from her own life—years of illness, the pain of divorce, and the discovery of new love—Sharon reminds us that joy and grief, contentment and chaos, can coexist. Life isn’t about waiting for the hard stuff to pass. It’s about finding moments of peace within the storm.

She shares a powerful personal story of being in the most painful time of her life—navigating a challenging divorce—while simultaneously discovering a joyful, life-giving relationship that would become her future. That experience taught her what many of us forget: you can feel broken and blessed at the same time. And that joy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It just means you’ve stopped handing your happiness over to circumstances you can’t control.

🙌 You don’t need to be unhappy to prove your love for others.

One of the most touching truths in this episode is the myth Sharon dismantles: that we have to be miserable to help others feel better. That sacrificing our well-being somehow makes us more “good,” more loving, more holy.

But here’s the deeper truth: You can’t shine your light if you’ve burned yourself out.

Happiness isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. And when you choose it, you don’t just heal yourself. You become a beacon for others who’ve forgotten that it’s possible.

🔥 Let the universe do its job—and take yours back.

Sharon closes with the ultimate soul reframe: if you’re worried, stressed, or overwhelmed… you’ve accidentally taken on a job that was never meant for you. Worry belongs to the ego. Peace belongs to the soul. So she makes it clear:

🗣 “You’re fired from worrying. It’s not your job. Give it over to the Universe and do what you love.”

That one sentence can shift everything. And if you let it… it will.

💖 Soul Takeaways:

  • You are allowed to be happy—even if not everything is perfect.
  • You can choose joy today, not “when things get better.”
  • Grief and joy can live in the same heart.
  • Asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.
  • The Universe has your back. You don’t have to carry it all.

Whether you’re in a season of burnout or simply ready for more peace, this episode is a gentle, powerful reminder: happiness isn’t the reward. It’s the path.

✨ Fire worry. Rehire your joy.
