Ep 163: You Didn't Lose Your Joy, You Lost Yourself
About this episode
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.
