Joy doesn’t need perfect circumstances—it needs presence and small, repeatable choices. Author, spiritual medium, and death doula Kathleen Ives joins us to talk about her book “7 Ways to Live in Joy Today” and her 5-6-7-8 method for building joy from micro moments: sleeping 30 minutes earlier, swapping one numbing habit for one nourishing one, and setting boundaries that protect your energy.

We explore joy as a daily practice—not a performance—plus Kathleen’s refreshing take on money, death, and meaning. She opens up about her mediumship and death doula work, sharing simple rituals for honoring endings and finding beauty in small things.

End with a one-minute joy audit you can do anywhere: one slow breath, three things you find beautiful. It’s literally science—and it works.
