We're not going to pretend the world isn't a dumpster fire right now. But we can make our chairs a little cozier while we watch it burn.

In this episode, we share a few joy moments—Sara hearing "cool beans" and "awesome sauce" in the wild, community members helping each other out, and the Olympic curling witchcraft that got us through a hard week. Joy isn't about ignoring what's hard. It's about finding support in the small stuff that still feels good.
