In this heartfelt conversation, Sheryl sits down with Cheri Neal, the visionary who brought the Lake County Joy Summit to the area, to talk about the upcoming 2nd Annual Joy Summit and its radiant 2026 theme: Here Comes the Sun.

Together, Sheryl and Cheri explore why joy matters most during the darker, colder months, especially for those impacted by seasonal affective disorder and how intentional community, inspiration, and shared experiences can lift spirits long after the snow melts.

This episode is a reminder that joy isn't something we wait for, it's something we practice, cultivate, and share, even (and especially) when the days feel heavy. A midwinter invitation to rise, reconnect, and let joy lead the way.

In this episode we'll explore:

• Finding light in the dark seasons – why joy is essential during winter months

• Community as a catalyst for healing – the power of coming together with intention

• Joy as a daily practice – choosing hope, warmth, and connection year-round
