Hi. It's been a minute. I'm glad you're still here.

So much has happened to me since our last episode -- from a health scare to the loss of a dear friend. I had to pause and really take stock of how I was living -- always in a state of "needing to heal" and never fully allowing myself to simply live, as my healed self.

It's easy to make "I still need to heal" a story we get stuck in. A loop we can't climb our way out of...to the point that trauma and healing become our identities. And we begin to identify as our trauma first and ourselves second. Or we lose ourselves completely and our personality becomes "healing."

There is a way through it, a way out of the story, a jump out of the loop and it's so simple I missed it for most of my healing journey: it's joy.

I don't want you to miss out on another second of the joy that is available to you at all moments - even as you heal. So! We're going to start cultivating it together. One episode at a time. Join me!

A head-start on this episode and joy:
