Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and sometimes hardest) practices of all… choosing JOY. Not the shiny, perfect kind, but kind that shows up even when life is messy, uncertain, or heavy. We’re revisiting some of our most impactful guest moments that taught us how to build joy instead of waiting for it. Dr. Tiffany Moon shares her “joy equation” and how shifting expectations can instantly create more happiness in everyday life. World-renowned psychologist Katarina Blom breaks down the science of happiness and why gratitude and pain can exist at the same time. And Sahil Bloom reminds us how to come back into balance when life knocks us down. PLUS, one of the most moving conversations we’ve ever had… Bozoma Saint John shares how she chose to live, laugh, and love again after devastating loss, a reminder that joy isn’t about pretending everything’s okay… it’s about choosing life anyway! This episode is your gentle reminder that joy is still available to you. Sometimes, all it takes is making space for it.
