When was the last time you gave yourself permission to laugh, rest, and actually feel good? We spend so much energy chasing health, but rarely stop to ask what it's all for.
Today I'm joined by my dear friends Dr. Diane Kazer and Susan Patrick, who are hosting a joy-focused retreat this October in Paamul, Riviera Maya, Mexico. We dig into why so many women carry the weight of everyone else's happiness, yet they are only responsible for their own joy.
Dr. Diane and Susan share how five days in raw, unspoiled nature can crack open a nervous system that's been running on hustle and shame for decades. We also talk about why AI actually gives us more room to be human, not less. It's time to put your joy first!
"You are not responsible for anybody's joy, but you can be an advocate. And when you learn how to become an advocate (of joy) for the people you love, you become more powerful." ~ Susan Patrick
