Unmasking Shame: Just Joy’s Real-Time Reflections

In this special edition, I peel back the layers and share my journey of facing shame head-on. No costumes, no filters—just Joy. I talk about the little things that made me feel vulnerable, like the bumps on my eyes, and how I’m choosing to own it and share it before anyone else can turn it into a punchline. I’ll introduce you to my real self, the meaning behind my tattoo, and a glimpse into my personal space. Moving forward, whenever I feel that wave of shame (unless I’m at work!), I’ll be here sharing it in real time. Because this is about being unapologetically me and showing that none of us are alone in our stories.
