Last season brought so many inspiring and heartfelt conversations. Each and every guest delightfully shared so much wisdom, I’ve loved hearing from you about favorite episodes and moments from season 1. I have an incredible group of guests lined up for this new season and I cannot wait to get started. 

This first episode is going to be a little different. I am excited to play guest! Leading the discussion and asking me all the psych questions I can handle is season 1 JOY guest, marketing biz veteran and founder of CHRISTINA LOFF Marketing and PR and fellow psych enthusiast - Christina Loff. We talk my journey from fine artist to psychotherapist and back, my book and nearly 5 year daily practice project These Three Things, and life as a Brand Project Development Consultant, or what my clients call, The Project Doula.

Hi Friends, I'm Lisa Anderson Shaffer - coach, consultant, psychotherapist, and resident psych enthusiast. And I LOVE psychology! It's the study of human behavior after all and isn't that pretty much everything? Psychology is the one thing that we all have in common, yet we don't talk about it nearly as much as we should. That's where JOY IS NOW comes in.Join me weekly for an in depth look at all things psychology. Together we will talk psych theory, emotion, and human behavior, all through the sharing of stories, experiences and lessons learned.In this SEASON 1 WRAP UP THEORY SEGMENT I discuss the hilarity of psychology. How the one thing that governs all, often seems as elusive and confusing as feeling our way through the dark. Why Ice - T  can help us get perspective and that 7 billion of us might just be able to navigate it all. Together.Thanks for being here.Thank you so much for being here.
