Father Nathan and his sister, book publisher Cathryn Castle Garcia, discuss finding joy when the world feels heavy. Together, they explore the difference between joy and happiness, the "just for now" theory, and practical tips for creating more joy in everyday circumstances.  

Cathryn Castle Garcia loves words and water and wild places. She delights in helping people cultivate joy, ease, and abundance in their personal and professional lives. Her motto is, “Make it fun. Let it be easy.”

As the owner of ClearStoryCoach.com, she specializes in writing coaching, editing, publishing, and marketing. Together with her husband, Capt. Gui Garcia lives on a small island in the Azores, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The couple owns C2G2Productions.com, specializing in wildlife and underwater filming.
