Do you live for the weekends, slogging through weekdays just to get to Friday? What if you could find joy and fun every single day—yes, even on a Monday?

In this uplifting episode, Cheryl explains how our brains are wired to see what we expect and how we can train them to find joy and glimmers of happiness every day. Say goodbye to the weekly roller coaster and start creating a life you love seven days a week.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why your brain naturally notices the "ugh" of weekdays—and how to flip that script.
  • What glimmers are and how they can transform your daily experience.
  • Simple ways to find moments of joy, no matter how busy or stressful your day is.
  • How to tap into enthusiasm to make even the mundane more enjoyable.

🎯 OMG Moment: Your brain loves to be right—so if you believe every day can be fun, your brain will find proof of it.

Take ActionWant to rewire your mindset for more joy? Start by noticing glimmers—tiny moments of happiness—and let your brain do the rest.
