When was the last time you felt pure joy—not achievement, not relief, but that spark of aliveness that lights you up from the inside?
In this episode, I share how rediscovering joy became a turning point in my own journey. At one of the lowest moments of my life—burned out, isolated, and stuck in an abusive marriage—I asked myself a simple question: How can I bring just a little joy back into my life? The answer led me back to dancing, and it changed everything.
You’ll hear how joy not only lifted me out of survival mode but also helped me feel safe, creative, and connected again. And I’ll walk you through the science of joy—why it regulates your nervous system, fuels resilience, sharpens your focus, and boosts your confidence.
Most importantly, I’ll share practical ways you can bring more joy into your daily life—through movement, connection, savoring small moments, and simple practices like “bookending your day with joy.”
Because joy isn’t frivolous. It’s fuel. And when you give yourself permission to feel it, you don’t just feel happier—you become calmer, more grounded, and more powerful in the way you show up for yourself and others.
