Ep. 45 When You’re Not in the Mood for Joy: Sliding the scale and 5% effort

from Oh My Goodness! with Aj Smit · host The Joy Weaver

In this episode of Oh My Goodness, I’m inviting you into the messy middle of “I’m not in the mood for joy.” I walk you through my very real, very rainy Pride day—how I almost stayed home, what actually got me out the door, and why “doing the least” can still count as big joy. We’ll talk about joy resistance, all-or-nothing thinking, stretchy affirmations, and treating yourself like a tender little toddler instead of a drill sergeant. If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or feeling “meh,” this one’s your cozy permission slip to try just 5% more joy. Come join us in Absurdist Delight: A Summer of Reckless Joy we have 4 spots left!!
