What if joy wasn’t the prize at the finish line but the compass that guides every decision you make? We dive into the radical idea of uncapping joy—letting it be bigger than what feels reasonable, safer than you’ve been told, and more powerful than any polished plan. I share how years of subtle and overt criticism trained me to police my own light, and how the slow, deliberate work of untraining the nervous system opens the door to real, embodied joy that fuels abundance, creativity, and clarity.
Across this conversation, we name the “joy cap” and how it sneaks in through old identities, professionalism masks, and the fear of being seen as too much. We explore why capped joy keeps abundance capped, why outsourcing happiness makes life heavy, and how uncapped joy—playful, radiant, and free—becomes love in action. You’ll hear how I’m setting intentions for 2026 through permission instead of performance, swapping stricter discipline for practices that feel alive in the body. We also tackle credibility anxiety: showing up playful and wise at the same time, refusing to shrink your magic to meet someone else’s comfort.
You’ll leave with simple, grounded practices: create a “what brings me joy now” list, notice where you’ve capped joy and why, and ask “where do I feel expansion instead of contraction” before big choices. The aim isn’t to chase joy but to allow it—through boundaries that protect your aliveness, micro-rituals that invite play, and the courage to let what feels good lead. If you’re ready to stop rationing your own light and step into 2026 with more ease, laughter, creativity, and rest, this is your sign to uncap your joy and watch life respond.
