About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of joy as a life force and its role in overcoming trauma and grief.

In hard seasons, joy is often the first thing we abandon—treated like a reward we haven’t earned yet. But joy isn’t a luxury. It’s a life force. In this episode, we explore how making intentional space for joy restores our energy, reconnects us to our humanity, and reopens creative channels that trauma, grief, and survival mode tend to shut down. This isn’t about toxic positivity—it’s about remembering what keeps us alive. You are loved. I stand with all humans on earth in love.
