Joy Anyhow

Listen in as Karyn Pettigrew (Beyond Blindspots) talks about choosing joy as it relates to: dreaming big; asking “what else is possible and what is this teaching me?" in the middle of difficulties; and asking ourselves essential questions like "what calls me forward? what am I curious about? what excites me? " 

So much wisdom to harness for yourself, don't miss it!

I'm so glad to be back for Season 2 of the Joy Anyhow Podcast. Listen to this brief season opener for some updates and what to expect this season.

Where did the time go? Season 1 seems to have gone by so quickly! Join me for episode 6 as I wrap up this inaugural season by sharing some contemplations and resources on joy anyhow, including offerings from Alexis Wright, The Joy Summit, The Greater Good Science Center and more.  You can also find more joyful resources by signing up for the the Joy Anyhow newsletter at joyanyhow.com

In Season 1, Episode 5, Emily Stewart walks us lovingly through how she has fallen back in love with the beauty of the world; by honoring the gratitude practice of being, loving and saying goodbye. Listen in as she discusses connecting with nature, the interconnectedness of all beings, honoring stillness and acceptance, and being fully present to the lessons she learns, especially in difficult moments. Emily also gifts us with her original poem, titled "Offering". 

Tema Okun joins me for this episode, to talk about her joy journey. I hope you will make the time to listen deeply as she discusses embracing expansive connectedness, finding condition-less joy that is stripped of external validation, and remaining deeply persistent in the pursuit of joy. Get comfortable wherever you are, do whatever you like to do while you listen to podcasts, and enjoy the conversation!

Dr. Regina Armour joins me in this episode to talk about skating backwards, finding our way back when we feel like we've lost our way and much more. Don't miss it!

In Season 1, Episode 2, Guest Chanel Copeland invites listeners to a "joyful conversation with a seasoned Black southern auntie".  Chanel talks about her own experience with having to learn new ways to access joy, reminds us that we are in charge of our own boundaries and also asks us to pay attention to what needs to be acknowledged, dealt with, or changed in our lives. Oh, and we pretty much laugh the whole time! Don't miss this beautiful conversation.

The Joy Anyhow Podcast launches with this season opener, giving you a glimpse into what you can expect in season one. My guests will include Chanel Copeland, Dr. Regina Armour, Toyin Kolawole, Tema Okun and Emily Stewart. Don't miss an episode!
