What if the key to your next chapter isn’t buried in a business plan… but in a playlist, a memory, or a moment of laughter?
In this solo episode, Penny explores the idea that joy isn’t a luxury—it’s a clue. Through stories of missed highway exits and old-school cassette “radio shows,” she shares how joy can guide us back to who we’ve always been.
If you’ve been putting your joy on hold, this is your reminder to press play.
