Choosing Joy: Thriving Instead of Just Surviving

In this episode, we explore what it means to consciously choose joy — and just as importantly, how to opt out of what doesn’t bring us joy. Inspired by a conversation with my best friend, we’ll talk about the difference between thriving and surviving, the science of Positive Psychology, and how joy isn’t a luxury but a necessity for our well-being.

You’ll learn about the psychological and physical benefits of joy, discover practical Positive Psychology techniques like gratitude practices, flow activities, positive self-talk, and daily joy breaks, and explore how setting boundaries and saying “no” can create space for more of what lights you up.

If you’ve been moving through life on autopilot, just checking off boxes and waiting for “someday” to feel good, this episode will give you tools and inspiration to start choosing joy — today.
