Joy on Purpose
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of joy as a protective force in the lives of parents and teens, emphasizing its role in resilience and well-being.
Consider this plot twist: Joy might be the most overlooked lifeline in the teen years--for parents and for teens. To say it another way: joy is serious business. You’ll learn how joy becomes a protective force in your home, what science says about positive emotion and resilience, and how faith traditions across the world treat joy as an anchor during hardship. You'll also find simple, evidence-backed practices to bring light back into your home… even when things feel heavy. Joy isn’t a mood. It’s a muscle —and one of the most powerful tools we have as parents of teens.
