Becca and Jen explore the concept of joy as an active choice, discussing the balance between FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and JOMO (Joy of Missing Out). They emphasize the importance of micro moments of joy, the nature of joy beyond mere happiness, and how joy can coexist with grief. The discussion highlights the agency individuals have in choosing joy amidst chaos and the significance of sensation as a pathway to reconnecting with joy. They also touch on cultural connections to joy and conclude with a journaling prompt for self-reflection on joy.

"Micro moments can bring joy."

"Joy is not the absence of pain."

"Joy is a basic human need."
