We’re joined by Dr. Kerry Burnight—known as America’s Gerontologist and author of Joyspan. Dr. Kerry has spent her career helping people not just live longer, but live more meaningfully.

In this conversation, she reminds us that joy isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline, available to us at any age and in any chapter. Together, we explore:

What joy really is and why it matters more than ever

How to raise your “joy baseline” with simple, daily habits

Why joy often feels elusive in midlife—and how to get it back The power of anticipation (and how to find something to look forward to)

How to overcome the biggest roadblocks to joy: fear, worry, loneliness, and limiting beliefs

If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or like joy is something you used to know—this conversation is for you. Let this episode be the gentle nudge you need to reconnect with what truly lights you up. ✨

Because joy isn’t just something you feel—it’s something you build. And it’s never too late to start.
