How to feel JOY again? Finding JOY in difficult times.

from The Mike Sea Podcast · host Mike Sea/Natural Man, LLC

In this episode, I’m joined by psychiatrist Nina Joy Mena to explore what it really means to experience joy—not just when life is easy, but in the middle of stress, uncertainty, and everyday challenges. We talk about the psychology behind joy, how it differs from happiness, and why it can sometimes feel out of reach. This conversation unpacks practical ways to reconnect with joy, build emotional resilience, and shift your perspective without ignoring real-life struggles.
