In this episode, we talk about everyday joy moments—the ones you notice and the ones you create. Sara shares her friend Jim's $12 thrift store leather shoes and the compliments that landed from her Threads community, like being told "you may have saved a soul" and "a lovable dork." Lacey shares watching her teething baby and her son who just lost his front teeth discover they match. We talk about the difference between passive joy (noticing what's already there) and active joy (making it happen), and how compliments might be the easiest way to practice active joy. If you're looking for a simple tool to try today, this one's pretty accessible.
