Welcome to Finding Joy! In this season’s opening episode, I provide a candid exploration of my own relationship with joy – especially how it shows up in life’s messiest moments.  Tune in as I share my philosophy: joy isn’t about ignoring pain or spreading superficial positivity, but rather it’s deeply linked to authenticity, meaning, and finding purpose even when circumstances are tough.

Through stories, science, and soulful discussion, this episode sets the stage for a season committed to helping listeners Just Own You – the acronym for JOY discovered in a moment of self-reflection.

In this episode, we explore:

(00:00) Introduction

(02:09) The power of joy in challenging times

(04:03) The true nature of joy

(04:54) The power of unfinished conversations

(06:27) Owning yourself
