This week, James meets the mood-swinging middle ground between apathy and joy—and y’all, it’s got shimmy breaks. From doomscrolling to dopamine, this is a tender pep talk for the weary, the wobbly, and the “meh” in all of us. We dig into the quiet fight it takes to feel anything at all, and how joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a practice, honey.
There’s talk of tickles, tussles, and love languages that hit you like a surprise hug. Whether you need a nudge, a nap, or just a head-scratch with heart, this episode is your golden permission slip to glow at your own pace.
So spark that inner sunshine and shake off the stillness—your joy is not optional, it’s essential.
