What if joy is the most powerful currency we can invest in—and the secret to living a more meaningful life? In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with Brent Neilsen, author of The Joy Cycle and creator of Moving Joy Around, to explore how we can move from emotional overwhelm to intentional joy.
We dive into:
✨ The real difference between happiness and joy
✨ Why being "self-focused" isn’t selfish—it’s essential
✨ How emotions, even the hard ones, are rooted in love
✨ The science behind joy and the daily habits that make it stick
✨ How breathing, gratitude, and reflection can shift your entire state of being
Brent also shares practical wisdom from his upcoming book Breathing Slowly—a guide to creating space for joy, even in the busiest lives.
Whether you’re seeking more peace, meaning, or simply want to reconnect with what lights you up, this episode is full of compassionate insight, soulful tools, and permission to feel it all—because joy isn’t a fleeting feeling, it’s a way of being.
