Choosing joy can be a practice. And in this Season 1 Bonus episode, Martha was a guest on the Navigating Joy Together podcast

In this conversation, Martha and pod host Lauren talk about:

  •  ways to cultivate joy in the mundane
  • how Martha knows when she's allowing joy into her life (and when she's NOT!)
  • how starting her podcast helped Martha get back in touch with joy
  • and why perimenopause is NOT for wimps...but also why it isn't worth attaching your identity to the "suffering" of it all

They touch briefly on the concept of "The Pain Body," which they both know about through Eckhart Tolle

And how some things in our lives that we think of as "chores" may be worth re-examining.

You can listen to the full uncut interview and episode here or anywhere you listen to podcasts:  Episode 27 of the Navigating Joy Together podcast "Sharing JOY through 'My Aloof Vagina' with Martha McBride"

It's a sweet show with practical tips on how to stay connected to joy as a family. Definitely worth a listen if you're hoping to be more mindful about your mindset and want to cultivate and choose joy with your family.

Take care of yourself. And take care of your vagina!
