What if joy isn’t something that happens to you, but something you can choose into and cultivate day by day? In this inspiring episode, I am joined by MaryAnn Walker, a life coach for highly sensitive people and recovering people-pleasers. Together, we explore how joy can become a way of being, not a fleeting feeling or a lucky accident.

We unpack why we’re not predisposed to one emotional state and how the habits we practise, or neglect, impact how we show up to life. Even familiar patterns that don’t actually bring us joy can feel “safe” simply because they’re well-rehearsed.

This conversation highlights how gently and consistently choosing joy reshapes who we are becoming over time, why repetition matters, and how small daily acts of alignment can shift us into a more empowered, expansive, joyful life.

This is an uplifting, warm, heart-expanding exchange that reminds us that joy isn’t frivolous - it’s medicine, resilience, and a deep act of self-care. And it’s available to all of us, in the smallest, most meaningful moments, by design.

As mentioned in the episode, you are warmly invited to The Remembering, my monthly online gathering for women who want to reflect, reconnect, and realign with what truly matters.

On 15th December at 6pm UK, we’ll come together for a beautiful end-of-year reflection - honouring your 2025, and identifying soul-led intentions for 2026.

The Remembering is a gift to my community and a growing space where women support women in living their one precious life more fully. This end-of-year session will be a powerful opportunity to close the year intentionally and step into the next with clarity, courage, and joy.

You’re so welcome to join us.
