Description

This week’s episode is a real-time reflection from the floor of my office, sparked by something I’ve been unpacking in my own life and in Club Phoenix lately: joy.

More specifically—why I’ve been choking my own joy, even while teaching others how to live in alignment.

In this solo episode, I explore my Flowstate Framework and how each pillar (purpose, abundance, freedom, and fulfillment) feeds into the others. Joy is an aspect of fulfillment, where we derive pleasure from doing something meaningful in our lives. I unpack how easy it is to choke our own joy when we feel like we have to earn it—or delay it until after the next milestone. And I share why joy isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s essential.
