What if joy isn’t something you chase… but something you slow down enough to feel?

In this solo reflection, Kirby opens up about her evolving relationship with joy — from chasing excitement, parties, and external validation in her younger years… to discovering peace in quieter, more meaningful moments.

Inspired by the “Finding Joy in the Everyday” conversation with Matthew and Larisa, this episode explores how joy changes through different stages of life.

This episode explores:
• Why external success and busyness don’t always bring fulfillment
• The shift from loud joy to quiet joy
• Learning to slow down and reconnect with yourself
• How nature, solitude, and presence became healing
• The pressure of comparison, distraction, and modern life

This is a gentle reminder that joy doesn’t have to look exciting to be real.

Sometimes, joy is found in stillness.
In a sunrise.
A walk.
A deep breath.
Or simply being present with yourself.

And maybe… the joy you’re looking for has been within you all along.
