45. Who deserves your unfiltered joy?

What if the most sacred part of you is the one that laughs too loud, dances in the kitchen, and tells corny jokes at the worst possible time—and what if that part deserves VIP treatment? Today I share personal stories about being “too much,” the difference between genuine effort and a polished “representative,” and why your playful side needs protection, not a muzzle. As we move, I talk about the moments that taught me to guard my joy: a partner who shut down when I danced, the thrill of nightlife in New York, and the loneliness that followed when I hoped a crowded room would translate into deep connection. Schedule play like an essential practice. Revisit the music that formed you and notice what comes alive. Name the people who welcome your unfiltered self, and if you can’t name them yet, start building that circle with small, brave steps. Your joy isn’t frivolous; it’s fuel for resilience, presence, and better relationships. Send us Fan MailIf you want the deeper lessons behind strength training, join my newsletter called Between Reps: Building the Unbreakable Woman.
