Joy Is Who You Are: A Conversation with Laina

What if joy isn’t something you chase—but something you already are? In this episode of Joy Rules, I sit down with one of my greatest teachers of truth, Laina Orlando. With all five personal planets in Sagittarius—the sign of truth—Laina brings wisdom, humor, and a deep reverence and understanding of A Course in Miracles to our conversation. We explore what it means to be the eye of your own storm, to find peace and joy in the present moment, and to awaken to the truth that you are the creator of your reality. Laina shares her life-changing encounter with Spirit in 2007, when she asked, “God, how will I know when I’m enlightened?” The answer? “Your life will be fun and easy.” From the playful nature of God—the eternal child in all of us—to the idea that joy is a defining characteristic of someone who lives by truth, this episode is a celebration of freedom, fun, and spiritual awakening. As Laina says: “The best part of being me is I get to have as much fun as I want to.” If you’re ready to embrace joy as your birthright and discover how living in truth can make life fun and easy, this conversation will light you up.
