In a world heavy with grief, cynicism, and struggle, choosing joy can feel impossible—or even naive.
But what if joy isn’t something you wait for? What if joy is a decision you can make right now? What if choosing joy is a form of radical resistance against hopelessness?
In this episode, we explore:
- Why joy is not just an emotion, it’s a practice.
- How joy, optimism, and hope work together to build resilience.
- What science says about how joy literally rewires your brain and body.
- Why choosing joy doesn’t mean ignoring your pain—it means refusing to be owned by it.
Through the lens of I Love It When You Smile by Sam McBratney, we uncover how joy can find you, even in the hardest seasons; and how joy can be your quiet rebellion in a joyless world.
Listen now to reclaim your power, your peace, and your permission to choose joy.
