Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped trusting joy.

We learned to brace for disappointment.

We mistook numbness for strength.

We forgot that laughter, peace, and wonder aren’t luxuries—they’re part of what keeps us whole.

In this special episode of Gnome Talk, we explore the slow return of joy and why it matters.

You’ll hear:

🌿 Why sadness became our default

🌿 The deeper spiritual role of joy—not as escape, but as healing

🌿 How to gently reintroduce joy into your life, even alongside grief

🌿 Gnomean perspectives on joy as sacred, grounded, and communal

🌿 A closing blessing to help you carry joy into the days ahead

This episode is for anyone who’s felt stuck, tired, or uncertain about whether happiness is still meant for them.

It is. And you’re not alone.

✨ Let joy feel normal again. You deserve that. We all do. ✨
