About this episode

The episode explores how to find joy during difficult times with psychiatrist Nina Joy Mena.

In this episode, I’m joined by psychiatrist Nina Joy Mena to explore what it really means to experience joy—not just when life is easy, but in the middle of stress, uncertainty, and everyday challenges. We talk about the psychology behind joy, how it differs from happiness, and why it can sometimes feel out of reach. This conversation unpacks practical ways to reconnect with joy, build emotional resilience, and shift your perspective without ignoring real-life struggles.
