Ep. 08: Be The Cause of Your Joy

What if joy didn’t need to be earned, justified, or saved for special occasions?In this episode, we explore what it really means to be the cause of your joy — instead of waiting for circumstances, achievements, or other people to create it for you. We talk about the subtle ways we block joy in everyday life, how overthinking and “shoulds” keep us stuck, and why joy is reason enough to make a choice.You’ll hear simple, practical ways to start reconnecting with what lights you up — from creating a joy list to doing an energy audit and learning to trust your body’s signals again.We also dive into why joy can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable, and how breathwork helps you create the safety and space to let it in.This episode is your invitation to stop outsourcing your happiness and start leading yourself back to what feels alive.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEListen to the companion breathwork HEREJoin us on Substack HEREFind The Energy Audit HEREFollow us on Instagram HERE This is a public episode.
