The challenges of JOY as an adult...What if instead of preparing for the worst, we imagined the best?

Text us to be featured on the show! The bad news is, Fruity Pebbles are just colorful rice bits now, and pizza rolls have lost their spark.The good news is, we think we can we retrain our adult brains to center joy, to be in the moment with grace & compassion, and to live more like we did as kids, while we're still here.We chat about reasons joy can feel harder to find as an adult:is it western/achievement cultureis it our "life is supposed to be this way" mindset?maybe using our imagination to prepare for the worst?because we hold too tightly to the things and people we love, ruining the experience?or is it because we all heard about how hard life will be when we were kids?Whatever it is, we're ready to embrace our inner Mr. Rogers, to use our imaginations to center the good stuff, and we hope you will too.(And if this feels impossible so you are interested in diving deeper into a hypnosis convo with Liz, use the links below!)Follow The Friend Lab on InstagramAbout Liz McKean: Liz is a hypnotherapist, yoga teacher, and creator of spaces where people can unshame their coping tools and finally feel better.About Bryce The Third: When it comes to the most authentic and impactful voices rising out of Detroit, Michigan, Bryce The Third is a name you can’t afford to leave out.
