As adults, life can start to feel like a loop of work, eat, sleep, repeat — but surely there’s more to it than that. In this episode, we talk to guests who’ve found hobbies that bring them joy, fulfilment, and a sense of purpose outside of their 9-to-5. It’s not just about what they do in their free time, but why it matters — and how intentionally carving out time for yourself can make life feel fuller again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Joie gets real about being “too much” — too emotional, too honest, too online. From emotional triggers to therapy breakthroughs, she answers how therapy reframed her emotional patterns, how she balances feeling deeply with living publicly, and why being “too emotional” might actually be a gift.
