Today I want to offer some context for joy in the 'fight against evil'. Yeah, it might sound a bit dramatic, but sadly it resonates right now given current events.


Where is joy's role in the face of adversity, particularly in the context of political and social turmoil? I want to acknowledge that this episode might feel 'too soon', but I hope you come back to it when you're ready. While it may seem inappropriate to focus on joy during difficult times, it is precisely when we need it the most.


In this episode I outline how joy can serve as a form of resistance and healing, and I provide several practical steps and rituals for cultivating joy in our lives, including how to use color as a tool for self-care.


I also invite you to join us for our #joyfriday joy activation on black friday - links below.
