Are you doing all the “right” things—self-care, new hobbies, connection—yet still not feeling joyful? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I explore why joy can feel so elusive, especially during uncertain times, and why chasing happiness through doing often backfires. Instead, you’ll discover how to create joy from within and find fulfillment in small, meaningful moments.
💡 You’ll learn:
- Finding Joy Amidst Challenges (00:00)
- Choosing Joy and Setting Intentions (01:40)
- Being Present and Engaging the Senses (05:49)
- Memory Lane and Daydreaming (09:48)
- Letting Go of Resistance and Being Playful (13:13)
- Connecting with Others and Taking Care of Ourselves (17:34)
- Joy as a Guiding Force (20:11)
Whether you’re stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by the state of the world, or just feeling “blah,” this conversation will help you shift your mindset and reconnect with what truly lights you up.
Your joy doesn’t need to be earned. It just needs to be allowed.
🎧 Press play, and let’s rediscover joy—one small moment at a time.
