Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday friends!
Today I’m sharing a bonus SOLO episode (I know, these are totally rare these days) because I want to talk about a topic that’s been coming up a ton lately: how to reconnect to our joy this summer.
As the world opens up more, I’ve been having a lot of conversations about how we can reconnect and sustain our joy. How do we strike a balance between going back into the world, seeing friends and family again, with maintaining our own self-care, boundaries, and joy?
In today’s solo episode, I share what’s been working for me, how I’ve been navigating this time, and my top tip for how we can continue to support ourselves. Want a hint? It starts with reflecting on what we’ve loved about the last year and giving ourselves grace.
If we spend some time thinking about what we loved about the last year, and this isn’t to take away from the hardship, loss, and difficulty, and find ways to continue to bring those moments back in as the world speeds back up again, I really believe that’s how we’ll be able to connect to our joy as we enter this new season, and as things go back to “normal”.
We actually talk a lot about this in our sessions for Seek The Joy Summer, our virtual retreat that goes LIVE this Sunday, June 20th!
We're all feeling this sense of excitement and overwhelm, and during this virtual retreat our incredible guest speakers are sharing tools, reflections, and insights to help navigate this new season. I walked away from every recording feeling more grounded, and I know you'll feel this way too.
These sessions will be live and accessible for two weeks for anyone that registers, and I'm so grateful to our guest speakers and friends of the podcast for joining me for this retreat!
