Ep 25: Jenn, 37, Graphic Designer, Philadelphia, PA, "Lightness"

Jenn shares her association with happiness and the feeling of lightness or buoyancy. The weirdest thing that ever brought her joy was the sound of a spinning ratchet. She urges caution when we are tempted to correlate our worth to our productivity and to be wary of the proverbial hamster wheel of life. In one of her difficult eras of life she kept an empty glass jar near her door and each day added a folded piece of paper with one thing she was grateful for written on it. It created a visual representation of the joy that was in her life even when it may not have felt like an easy time.
