In this solo episode of Badass Softie, Dr. J.J. Peterson unpacks how burnout quietly steals your joy, and how reclaiming joy isn’t about pretending things are fine. It’s about reconnecting to purpose, energy, and the strength to keep showing up.

Here's what you'll get:

-Why burnout happens even when you “love what you do”

-The science behind joy and how it rewires your brain for resilience

-How to stop seeing joy as a reward — and start practicing it as daily work

-What leaders gain when they make space for joy: clarity, courage, and connection

-3 practical ways to reclaim joy this week (even when you don’t feel it yet)
