In this episode, Megan and Pony Boy unpack the difference between happiness, fun, and joy — and why joy often feels harder to hold onto. From Brené Brown’s idea of foreboding joy, to the childlike wonder we tend to lose along the way, they explore how practicing joy requires presence, courage, and mindfulness.

They also talk about the real-life barriers — stress, burnout, fear of loss — that make us flinch from joy, and how we can start to cultivate it anyway. This one’s about learning to stay for the good stuff, even when it feels uncomfortable. We discuss the role of faith in having a joy filled spirit, the beauty of the reframe and the daily practices we can implement to pursue more joy in our lives. Join us!
