In this episode, we explore the concept of joy, distinguishing it from fleeting happiness. Joy is described as a deep sense of contentment and gladness that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness.

We delve into passive joy, finding contentment in the present, and active joy, sharing joyful moments. Emphasis is placed on being present, embracing genuine joy over chasing temporary happiness, and the vulnerability of sharing joy.

This discussion highlights the significance of joy in embracing one's true self, not deriving it from material possessions, and fostering self-reflection.

We also stress the importance of sharing joy with others and offer opportunities to join our supportive community on this journey of discovering and experiencing joy.
