Summary

Today we’re talking all about JOY Not fake positivity. Not pretending hard things don’t exist. But the kind of deep, grounded joy that reminds you: all is well. In this episode, we talk about: Why joy is something we intentionally cultivate The difference between cheap dopamine vs. deep fulfillment How comparison and scrolling quietly steal joy Why beauty and your physical surroundings matter more than you think Learning to romanticize and savor ordinary life Being fully present instead of mentally living in the future Living from true desire instead of pressure or obligation Why joyful people actively create “little pockets” of delight How joy can coexist with grief and hard seasons This conversation is cozy, practical, encouraging, and very House of Joy 🤍 🔗 Links & Favorite Things Mentioned Cloth handkerchiefs from Amazon- https://a.co/d/0dCGuhvQ Bauble Bar personalized tote bags- https://www.baublebar.com/products/alpha-custom-tote-blue-denim Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way book- https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Childbirth-Bradley-Way-Revised/dp/1974805069/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_swatch_0 Kerri Hunt’s podcast- https://pod.link/1811706630 Learn more about your ad choices.
