Feeling Joy

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

What if joy isn’t something to work toward someday, but something that deserves a place in your life right now? In this episode, Lisa explores what it really means to choose joy and why so many people move through life believing they have to earn happiness through struggle and putting everyone else first.

Drawing from her recent experiences while traveling through Greece, Lisa unpacks how old patterns, a need to please others, and feelings of unworthiness can keep people disconnected from what truly fulfills them. She shares why learning to trust inner guidance, recognize self-worth, and release the belief that struggling is somehow necessary can open the door to a more joyful and aligned life.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that joy is not something to wait for or work endlessly toward. It is something everyone deserves now. Listen in for an inspiring invitation to choose yourself and embrace a deeper sense of joy and gratitude.
