What if joy wasn’t something you earned, but something you could access anytime, even and especially in the hard parts of life? What if you could master your mindset and increase your personal development through finding what brings you joy? In this conversation, we explore how joy builds resilience, reveals purpose, and highlights what makes for a meaningful life, especially if you work with others to find joy and purpose, and need to find and thrive on it too.

Many people searching for purpose believe they need clarity, confidence, or certainty before they feel joy. But what if it works the other way around? When joy feels elusive, it can drain energy, cloud meaning, and make it harder to see your strengths or potential. Both in your own life and in the people you lead.

Purpose Guide, Anna Hall, shares a powerful insight: joy is accessible for anyone, at any time, and it’s a prerequisite for resilience and purpose, not only a reward for achieving them. When we learn how to access joy intentionally, we unlock energy, motivation, and clarity about what truly matters.

In this conversation, Anna breaks down four practical ways to access joy in everyday life even when things feel heavy or uncertain. These simple practices help leaders and coaches reconnect with meaning, sustain resilience, and rediscover what fuels their impact.

If you’re a coach, org development professional, or small business owner searching for purpose, potential, and a more meaningful life, this episode offers a grounded, human way forward starting with joy.

In this episode, Anna answers the following questions:
- How do I find joy?
- How do you generate joy?
- How do people find joy in life?
- How to hold joy and grief at the same time?

My favorite quote from the episode: “Joy is a reflection of other people’s values.”

Lately, I’ve enjoyed asking people, “what’s sparking joy for you?” and hearing their response. What I did not know was that they we’re dropping cues as to what their values are. I should be paying more attention!

What I know to be true about the episode: I am very excited to share this episode early in the journey into better understanding the role of joy in our superpowers and our potential. Of course, Anna illuminates the topic of joy, as she is the beacon of light for purpose, meaning, and joy.

What I learned from the episode: Anna’s four ways to access joy and that synergy is the element I need to recharge my joyfuel tanks.
