  Ep 163: You Didn't Lose Your Joy, You Lost Yourself

  Aug 14, 202640 minS1

  Last week, we talked about the hidden habits that protect your joy. But what if you're listening and thinking... "I don't even know what joy feels like anymore." If you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else, chasing success, or simply surviving that you've lost touch with who you are, this conversation is for you. This week, I'm joined by a fellow psychiatrist Dr. Jeannie Lawrence, MD for a powerful discussion on why so many high-achieving women don't actually lose their joy—they slowly lose themselves. Together, we'll explore: -How success, responsibility, and people-pleasing can quietly disconnect you from yourself - The warning signs that you've been living on autopilot -Why self-care alone isn't enough -What it really takes to reconnect with yourself and experience lasting joy again Because sometimes the problem isn't that joy is gone... It's that you've been so busy becoming everything to everyone else that you've forgotten yourself. You didn't lose your joy. You lost yourself. And the beautiful news is—you can find your way back.

  Ep 162: The Hidden Habits That Protect Your Joy

  Aug 6, 202638 minS1

  Joy doesn't just happen—it has to be protected. What if the key to better mental health isn't waiting until you're burned out... but building daily habits that protect your peace before life drains it? This week, I'm joined by fellow psychiatrist Dr. Jen Olabisi (@TheDocMomOf2) for a practical conversation about the everyday habits that help us stay mentally well—even in the middle of busy lives. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally depleted, or like you're constantly pouring from an empty cup, this episode is your reminder that protecting your joy is one of the healthiest things you can do. Because the best time to protect your mental health is before you need to rescue it.

  Ep 161: Could Your Feet Be Stealing Your Joy?

  Jul 31, 202641 minS1

  Could your feet be stealing your joy? We don't think much about our feet—until they start keeping us from doing the things we love. This week, I'm joined by podiatric physician Dr. Ashley Varner to talk about the surprising connection between foot pain, mobility, mental well-being, and quality of life. We’ll unpack how ignoring foot pain can eventually affect your ability to exercise, travel, work, play with your kids, and simply enjoy your life—and why we need to stop normalizing pushing through pain. Because as Dr. Varner says: “When your feet feel good, everything else gets a little easier.” Fine Dr. Varner at www.truestepcollective.com and www.podiatryassociatesoftexas.com IG: @truestepcollective and @podiatryassociatesoftexas

  Ep 160: "Choose Joy" Isn't Toxic Positivity

  Jul 26, 202623 minS1

  After a week in Colombia with my family, something unexpected happened. Every time plans changed, we were exhausted, or things didn't go our way, someone would laugh and say... "Choose Joy!" What started as a family joke became a powerful reminder that choosing joy isn't about pretending life is perfect—it's about deciding how you'll respond when it isn't. In this solo episode, I share what this trip taught me about the difference between toxic positivity and true resilience, and why joy can exist alongside disappointment, exhaustion, and uncertainty. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to acknowledge hard moments without letting them define you, this episode is for you.

  Ep 159: Your Inner Voice Is Not Your Anxiety

  Jul 16, 202625 minS1

  Have you ever stopped to wonder: Is this my intuition talking, or is this my anxiety? In this episode, I explore one of the most common mental health questions I hear. Anxiety and intuition can sound surprisingly similar, but they don't lead us in the same direction. I'll discuss how anxiety tends to create fear, urgency, and avoidance, while intuition brings clarity, wisdom, and alignment. If you've ever struggled to trust yourself, questioned your decisions, or wondered whether your inner voice is protecting you or holding you back, this episode is for you. Your weekly prescription for more joy.
