When was the last time you felt pure joy—not achievement, not relief, but that spark of aliveness that lights you up from the inside?
In today’s episode, I open up about how joy became my lifeline during one of the hardest seasons of my life. In the midst of burnout, isolation, and an unsafe marriage, I asked myself one powerful question: How can I bring just a little joy back into my life? That question led me back to dance—a choice that transformed my nervous system, rebuilt my resilience, and helped me feel alive again.
I’ll share not only my personal story but also the science behind joy, why it’s essential (not optional) for resilience and confidence, and how you can start weaving more joy into your daily life—no matter how busy or stressed you feel.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

- Simple, practical ways to create joy every day—from savoring small moments to bookending your day with joy
