S4;E7: Journey to Joy (w/ special visitor Amy Dickens)

In this episode we’re joined by Amy Dickens, author of 101 Ways to Spread Joy and host of the Joyfully You podcast, for a conversation that celebrates beautifully unhinged joy, playful rebellion, and letting your inner goofball take the mic. Amy invites us to loosen our grip on perfection, reconnect with play as adults, and remember that joy is not a reward, it’s a birthright. From grocery-store dance breaks to soul-lifting micro-moments, this episode is a permission slip to laugh louder, live lighter, and sprinkle joy like confetti...even (especially) when life feels messy. We talk about:

♥ Why joy doesn’t need to be earned.

♥ How tiny, everyday acts can create ripple effects of joy.

♥ Letting go of perfection and embracing joyful messes.

♥ Creating space for laughter, movement, and delight in real life.
