Hey, everyone, it's Tiffany and welcome back to another week of Raise Your Hand to say yes.

For those of you who are in the U.S., it's Thanksgiving in a couple of days.

And I hope that everybody is surviving the holiday period and stepping into it and finding some joy in

there. This week's episode is, I think, appropriate as we step into the holiday season. I'm

interviewing my good friend and my colleague, Molly Mayhar, who I absolutely adore. And Molly is the creative genius

behind Stratajoy, which is a site, kind of a coaching site, and she does coaching and programs

for women who are learning how to find joy in a messy world.

And I think that Molly's take on joy is so interesting and enlightening to me because

the internet often paints a picture that finding joy and living a happy life is gorgeous

and it involves a lot of bathtubs and candles and a lot of ease and self-care and blah blah blah

blah and I think that the reality and one of the things that I try to communicate with this show is that

living that great life finding joy all of that like there is usually it's not as smooth sailing as we

think um there's sometimes some struggle or some mess a lot of mess i mean i'm looking around my life in

my office right now and there's always mess um and that part of the process i think and, and what Molly teaches is that it's about navigating

your experiences to find joy no matter what is happening. But doing it in a realistic way in a

super real and honest and kind of raw way, it's not just about like doing a polyana effect on things.

So it's really, I think a great take on holidays because I know that holidays are a really

stressful time for people. And let's be honest, globally, this is a tough time for the world.

And there's a lot of people struggling and how do we cultivate joy and a sense of peace despite all of that that's going on?
