26. Homecoming Series, Part 1:The Courage of Choosing Joy
What does it really mean to come home to yourself?In this new series, we are diving deep into the messy, uncomfortable, and ultimately transformative journey of homecoming. This September marks a deeply personal milestone – my 10-year soberversary. Ten years of choosing myself, my wellbeing, and my Joy. Ten years of remembering that homecoming isn’t a single event, but a practice – a daily decision to return to who we really are, even after forgetting.In this episode, we cover: What homecoming means and why it feels especially alive right now.Reflections on moving into her dream acreage—and how life’s closed doors can actually redirect us toward the dream doors waiting for us.The real-life signs of self-abandonment: overcommitting, people-pleasing, numbing, busyness, ignoring intuition, or pushing through instead of resting.Why compassion is essential when we notice where we’ve been leaving ourselves.A simple guided pause + breath practice to help you land back in your body and honour yourself in the moment.You’ll also hear stories from my journey of sobriety, entrepreneurship, and self-leadership—reminders that Joy isn’t about perfection, but about coming home, over and over again.If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or not like yourself lately, this episode is your reminder - you’re not broken. You just get to come back home.Join our Monthly Joy Session Workshop — Feel Like You Againtheacademyofjoyfulliving.com/feellikeyouOr… get this workshop included for free when you sign up for The Joy Nest!The Joy NestYour soft place to land, align, and manifest your dream life.theacademyofjoyfulliving.com/the-joy-nestInterested in building your business with Joy?

24. What Do Your Dreams Really Require?
You want the dream life… but are you willing to acknowledge (and release) what’s been holding you back from receiving it?In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to live your dreams—not just think about them. Because dream-building isn’t only about vision boards and high vibes (though I love both!). It’s about meeting yourself at your edges, clearing the blocks, and creating new beliefs so those dreams can actually land in your life.I’m sharing the most common “dream blockers” I’ve witnessed in myself, my clients, and my students—and how to reframe them in real time using The Joy Method™. If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or maybe even afraid to dream too big, this episode is your gentle (yet powerful) nudge that it’s time to shift everything.In this episode, we cover:What dream-building looks like in real life—not just the highlight reelWhy receiving your dreams can stir up guilt, fear, and scarcityThe sneaky voice that tells you that you have to earn your dream life (and how to shift it)What happened when I chose Joy instead of working harderA breakdown of the 6 biggest “dream blockers” and how to move through themHow to use NLP tools and affirmations to re-pattern your beliefsThe power of giving yourself permission to live your dreams NOWWhat co-creating a dream life actually looks and feels likeThis is your invitation to release, refocus and start living the life you’ve been dreaming of—today!Links and resources:Design Your Dream Life Workshop: https://jss.thrivecart.com/dream/Join The Joy Nest:Your soft place to land, align and manifest your dream life: https://www.theacademyofjoyfulliving.com/the-joy-nestInterested in building your business with Joy?
