Show Notes
In this special live episode of Journey to Joy Live, we’re celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with purpose, power, and JOY — recorded in front of a live audience in Cincinnati!
Dr. NJoy is joined by special guest Dr. Anisa Shomo, family physician and author of Health Is Love, for a powerful conversation about the deep connections between our physical and mental health. Together, they explore how chronic stress, grief, and emotional burnout show up in our bodies — and how reclaiming joy can be one of the most radical tools of healing.
This episode also honors the dual book launch of The NJoyNAL: A Journal and Therapy Companion Using the INSPIRE Joy Method by Dr. NJoy and Health Is Love by Dr. Shomo.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How grief impacts both mental and physical health
- The science behind joy as medicine
- Creating sustainable wellness routines that protect your peace
- How to honor your emotional truth without abandoning joy
- Why Black women deserve softness, stillness, and space to breathe
Whether you’re navigating burnout, grief, or just trying to reclaim your glow — this conversation is a reminder that joy isn’t optional. It’s necessary.
