I Will Find Joy

If you were a character in a tv show, would you follow their storyline? If every year of your life was a new season and you’re 20-30-40 or more seasons into the show, has your character developed much? Is the wardrobe still the same? What about the hair and makeup?
In today's episode, I am talking about embracing your main character energy and a few ways to develop it.

In today's special episode, I have my very first guest! My youngest and I have lots of laughs while my granddaughter chimes in with her thoughts and opinions too. Grab some hot cocoa or some other beverage and join us as we chat about some of our favorite holiday memories. This episode was an absolute joy to record. We hope that you have as much fun listening to it as we had creating it.
Happy Holidays from the Finding Joy Podcast!

Experiencing a deep loss can alter your life forever. Whether it is the unexpected loss of a job, relationship or the loss of a friend or loved one, it is among the hardest things we go through in our lives.
In today's episode, I am sharing some of my hardest losses over the last few years and how I have started to heal and actively and rebelliously seek joy in the process.

Do you ever have aha, lightbulb moments when you realize how you handled something was so different than how you used to? Or, maybe you fell back into a pattern that you swore you would not go back to? 
In today’s episode, I am talking about celebrating your wins, noticing and readjusting what isn’t working, and relaxing your mind and body. Your life isn’t a race to be won. It is a celebration of who you are and everything that makes you wonderfully you.

I am so grateful for others who speak the words I need to hear and put things in a way that really hits me and either soothes or challenges my thoughts. Either way it’s a win when the goal is to grow!
In this episode, I am sharing some powerful Instagram material that I found this past week that really helped me to tie some things together in order to share what’s been on my mind in a more powerful way.
Thank you to the posters of Instagram that are mentioned in this podcast!

Do you know someone who refuses to let your past go and, no matter how long ago something happened, they find ways to bring it up and remind you?  They know where all of your buttons are and just how to push them to get a reaction. To maintain a joyful state, you have to be able to maintain your emotions and your thoughts - even, when someone is pressing your buttons. It feels fantastic when you learn how to stay in your own peace and not get riled up. In today's episode, I am talking about the importance of building a solid foundation that does not shake when those button pushers try to come for you.   Music by Joystock

How do you feel when you have been doing so well at changing something but backslide. You know when instead of taking a breath and redirecting yourself, you do the thing that you are trying not to do? 
In this episode, I am talking about creating daily evidence that little changes that you make every day are really adding up to make big changes.
