Episode 27 is about choosing joy on purpose. This week, Sarah and Katrina dive into the power of prioritizing joy, happiness, and those daily doses of dopamine that fuel our health and wellbeing. Sarah shares the emotional experience of welcoming a golden retriever puppy into her family—and how the presence of a dog, in their true nature, living moment to moment, offers a masterclass in joy itself.
But why is it that so many of us save our own joy for last, treating it as optional or indulgent? We explore how the materialistic, capitalistic culture we grew up in may have desensitized us—teaching us to chase joy in things, leaving us feeling like we never have or are enough.
This conversation is a reminder that joy is abundant and —it’s medicine. Joy is rebellion AND heart health. Gratitude paves the way to that freedom. And choosing joy simply for the sake of enjoyment might be the most empowering choice you’ll ever make.
