In this special episode of "Rediscovering Connection," host Shelley Doyle explores the heartfelt initiative "Journey to Joy" which is open to everyone this Christmas, with guests Wayne Greenway and Natalie Grand, connecting from the East Coast of Canada to Switzerland.

This episode delves into the essence of combating loneliness during the holiday season, focusing on a unique 10-day online workshop designed to foster resilience and connection.

Wayne Greenway, founder of Career Aviators and a Career Management Consultant with over 25 years of experience in resilience-building, and Nathalie Grand, a therapist and resilience expert with a background in marketing and positive psychology, share insights on how they came together through the Canadian Positive Psychology Association to address loneliness and promote joy this Christmas.

They discuss the importance of resilience, the distinction between solitude and loneliness, and practical strategies like sleep, emotion labeling, gratitude, and mindfulness for personal growth.

This episode not only highlights their innovative approach to community building over Christmas but also touches on personal stories of career pivots and the power of intentionality in shaping one's identity. Whether you're an 18-year-old feeling disconnected at university or an 80-year-old seeking companionship, this conversation offers valuable lessons on finding joy and connection in life's various stages.

Join us to learn how you can be part of their transformative journey, to navigate the holiday season with more joy and less loneliness.
