16-Permission to Enjoy Yourself

Hey there, Welcome to the Resource Yourself Podcast! I’m Sefora, here to ground you in the goodness that’s all around you, so when life throws you challenges, you can navigate them with wisdom, resilience, and grace. In this episode, I share a personal story about resistance and how leaning into it helped me uncover a powerful message: Permission to Enjoy Yourself. We dive into: How life’s struggles and cultural norms can make us forget to enjoy life. Why enjoying yourself is a radical and necessary act, especially in the face of challenges. The wisdom of Joanna Macy and how her teachings inspire gratitude and hope. The connection between joy and resilience, particularly for those with insecure attachment styles. Practical ways to ground yourself in the goodness of life, from noticing small joys to rethinking the structures in your life. This episode is filled with reflections, practical tips, and a heartfelt invitation to prioritize joy, even in hard times. Take a moment to think about one thing you can do today that reliably brings you joy. And remember, enjoying yourself isn’t just for you—it’s for everyone you love and the world you want to help create.
