About this episode
Jenny Way reflects on denying herself happiness and the importance of choosing joy and fulfillment in life.
Today I’m reflecting on something deeply personal — how, both subconsciously and consciously, I’ve often denied myself happiness. How I’ve avoided doing the very things that could make me feel fulfilled, and how easy it is to forget what really matters. This episode is about that realization: that we only have one life, and yet we spend so much of it disconnected from our own desires, our own peace, our own happiness. I talk about what it means to finally choose yourself — to stop postponing joy, to start living in a way that actually feels right, and to remember that being content with who you are and the life you live isn’t a luxury, it’s the point of it all.
