06. The Practice of Joy

Mar 5

In this solo episode, I dive deep into what it truly means to practice Joy and why it's so much more than just pursuing happiness. We’ll explore the difference between fleeting happiness and lasting Joy, and I offer guidance on how to make Joy your number one priority.

In this episode, we cover:

The difference between happiness and Joy
Why you don’t need to strive so much
How to use contrast and challenges as guides for clarity
How to give yourself permission to feel good, even when life is difficult
Why your Joy is not selfish
Creating a daily practice that honors your Joy
