  • Why Are We Terrified of Joy?

    Why Are We Terrified of Joy?
    Nov 14 2025
    Why does joy—this beautiful, fleeting, heart-bursting feeling—scare the heck out of us? Ever had a moment so perfect you immediately thought, ‘What if something goes wrong?’ You're not alone. Brene Brown calls it 'foreboding joy':
    Joy is the most vulnerable emotion we experience. When life feels good, our minds often race to what could go wrong—as if bracing for impact will protect us.
    We call this 'dress rehearsing tragedy.' Instead of savoring the moment, we imagine loss, heartbreak, or disaster. It’s a defense mechanism, but it robs us of the very joy we crave.
    The antidote? Gratitude. When we practice gratitude, we anchor ourselves in the present. We stop rehearsing pain and start embracing wonder.
    Join me and my special guest, Reverend Stephanie Red Feather, for an inspiring conversation, as we explore the power of reconnecting with your authentic self. Learn how to unearth and release the barriers holding you back from embracing the joy and the presence of the Divine within you. Get ready to dive deep into your personal underworld and rediscover your inner light. Joy is your birthright.
