The Joy Reset

Sip of the Week: Sometimes we confuse happiness with joy, but they're not the same thing at all. Joy is a choice—a way of being that runs deeper than circumstance. In this episode, we're diving into the difference between happiness and joy, how to identify what truly brings you fulfillment, and practical ways to choose joy even in challenging seasons. Plus, I'm sharing a personal conversation about that pivotal moment when Melissa realized she'd lost touch with what brought her joy. If you're craving more meaning and fulfillment in your daily life, this one's for you. Listen here now!

Let it Brew: When was the last time you felt truly joyful? If you're struggling to remember, you're not alone. Between career demands, family responsibilities, and that never-ending to-do list, joy often takes a backseat to productivity and obligation. We forget that joy isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential for our wellbeing. In this heartfelt conversation, we unpack what a joy reset really means and how small, intentional choices can transform your relationship with happiness. Think of it as permission to prioritize your joy without apology. This is the ultimate guide to making joy a value, not just a fleeting emotion.

Post-Tea Pursuits: REFLECT ON YOUR JOY INVENTORY—what currently fills your cup, and what's been missing?

On your own, take 15 minutes to create a joy inventory. Ask yourself:

• What are three small moments from the past week that brought me joy?
• What activities used to bring me joy that I've stopped making time for?
• What one joy-filled activity can I intentionally schedule this week?

Commit to one small joy practice this week, WRITE IT DOWN, and see how it shifts your energy! Let me know what you're choosing to prioritize—I'd love to cheer you on!
