Why do we treat joy like a reward instead of our natural state? In this episode, Alyssia challenges the idea that joy must be earned—and shows how play, presence, and meaning can reconnect us to the kind of joy that actually heals. Includes science, philosophy, and a powerful journaling tool to rediscover what lights you up.
