Joy. Do you feel joy in your day to day? Or is it an idea that you can't quite wrap your fingers around to claim for yourself? Is it even what you think it is? The emotions of Joy. Let's find out.
Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast (and video) about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me.
In this episode, join co hosts Anita McLachlan and Erica Webb as they chat with their guest, Anne Maree Wilshire about the unexpected realities of joy.
You will hear:
- How joy can manifest differently in various stages of life.
- Anne Maree's personal experience of grappling with the reality of joy
- The difference between joy and happiness
- The importance of finding the 'grains of gold' rather than only looking for the 'bars of gold'
- How to find joy beyond external validation
- The way joy can show up quietly.
We're so glad you're here. It's time to live life on your terms. It's time for Midlife Unfiltered.
Erica & Anita xx
