The Path to Joy

First Day of School Reflections!

The first day of school was, surprise-surprise, a bit emotional for me this year. Yes, there were some tears at Trader Joes but also some thoughts I was surprised by. We are complex creatures -- humans!

Goodbye Cheddar!

Well, I think this episode will make you laugh and cry (not too much). Yes, we had to say goodbye to our beloved hamster, Cheddar. Who, frankly, was my kind of gal!

Some Truly Hidden Gems!

Moving is such an emotional process. Well, at least it is for me and I'm not even the one moving! But, on the plus side, moving can help unearth some hidden gems!!

Can We Stop Trying to Be So Darn Productive??

Today's episode is inspired by a question asked on a recent JOY SCHOOL call -- why are we so obsessed with productivity?? It is curious: we are always trying to get more done and yet we are never actually 'done' with our to-do lists. Let's talk about productivity and how we can give ourselves permission to perhaps be a bit less productive.

Maybe You Need to Hear This Today!

Today's episode was inspired by my dear friend Alvina! She sent me a post with one of my absolute favorite Charlie Mackesy quotes of all time: 'One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things.' 
 
So, today I share a few of my favorite quotes from two incredible books. Because we all need reminders. Reminders of how wonderful we are, how lucky this world is to have us, and how much possibility exists!

We are Going on a Treasure Hunt!

Today's episode takes place on Block Island -- 13 miles off the coast of Westerly, Rhode Island. It features a treasure hunt (actual name of the hunt 'orbivores')! Do we find the treasure?? Listen to find out!

Some Simple Gratitude (and a Blackout)!

We are in Vermont and we have no power! What could there possibly be to be grateful for?? A lot I guess! Today's episode is all about small, simple gratitude.

A Little Bit of Royal!

No, today's episode is not about the Royal family!! We recently re-watched The Royal Tenenbaums -- more than two decades after my first viewing. The movie and the soundtrack brought back a lot of memories for me -- prompting me to contemplate where life has taken me.

What Are Some of Your 'Tells??'

Today's episode is about intuition -- our internal guidance system. I know it would be so much easier if we had Siri telling us which direction to turn and how long it would take to get there -- but intuition doesn't really work like that. 
 
Let's chat about 'tells' -- ways to know that you are on the right path. I'll share mine and maybe you can share some of yours!

The Pressure to Have it All Figured Out!

Today's episode is about the pressure we put on ourselves and our kids to have it all figured out. I get it -- it's really nice to have a direction, a plan. But it's also nice to know we all have the freedom to change our minds. Life has so many twists and turns and there will be many chapters -- it's OK if some chapters deviate from the original outline.
