144: Finding Joy w/ Ingrid Fetell Lee

We have been doing a deep dive into the topic, “The Practice of Joyful Living”, all month. Which, is super timely considering that there is a heightened spirit of joy in the air around the holiday season.

What if we could maintain some of the joyful living magic that we find during the holiday season, throughout the rest of the year?

What if pursuing more joyful living practices were just as important to our health as the food we eat and the exercise we do?

I, for one, believe it is. Which is why I could not be more honored to host today’s guest, Ingrid Fetell Lee.

I first came upon Ingrid’s work when a friend shared her TED talk video with me, “Where Joy Hides and How to Find it”. I was riveted by what she had to say and went on to purchase her book, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, which did not disappoint.

Have a listen to this conversation I had with Ingrid Fetell Lee and let me know what you walk away with!

Say it with me “my body is NOT the problem!”

Ahhh…doesn’t it feel great to release the chains you’ve lived with for so long?
