Does your family experience you as present, or just available? Do you find yourself hoping joy will one day find you once things slow down? Dr. Josh gets practical about building joy into your days, weeks, and year: 30-second habits, celebrations, and what he calls "enthusiastic welcoming." This is part two of our joy series. Don't try it all. Pick one and start there. It's the two-degree shifts that make all the difference. Here are some key takeaways:Joy is built relationally.Numb the hard feelings and you numb the good ones too.Receive, relive, remember. Don't just list what you're grateful for. Step back into the moment.Microdose joy. Thirty seconds watching a bird or your kid's wonder counts.Welcome your people like you're glad they're here.Sabbath lets your soul catch up to your body.Ask yourself: who needs to feel my delight?Show Notes: Men, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

For some reason, we inherently believe that joy is a byproduct of success. Yet, we finish the project, celebrate for five minutes, and move on to the next thing, waking up one day confused as to why the joy didn't seem to follow.In this episode, Dr. Josh shares why so many leaders and parents lose joy, and what joy really is: not a feeling or a byproduct of success, but a present-tense experience rooted in our trust in God. Where happiness depends on circumstances; joy depends on position.Here are some takeaways and highlights: Ask: does my family experience me as proud of what they do, or delighted that they exist?Screens keep us in the left brain. Relational joy lives in the right brain.Gratitude has to be experienced, not just listed.Your calendar is discipling you. What is it teaching you about joy?How and why God scheduled joy. Show Notes: Men, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort. Starts Jan. 2027.

When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system? In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices. Here are some highlights: Anything you can't fast from owns you.Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.Use screens to create, not just consume.God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.Show Notes: Looking for one-on-one coaching with Dr. Josh to be famous at home? https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoachingMen, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

What if you could have a rock-solid marriage in just 15 minutes a day? This is not a gimmick. Emotional disconnection rarely happens all at once. It happens through small, subtle shifts as work, kids, schedules, and the demands of life slowly pull us away from each other.In this episode, Dr. Josh shares the fundamental exercise he's seen help marriages grow by leaps and bounds. It's a simple daily practice he calls the 15-Minute Exercise.You’ll learn:The simple daily question every couple can ask each otherWhy your spouse is a person to love, not a problem to solveThe three most powerful words to transform a difficult conversationHow to listen without fixing, defending, or becoming defensiveHow this simple practice can become a lifestyle rather than another item on your to-do listYour marriage doesn’t always need a major overhaul. Sometimes it needs a two-degree shift.*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!Click here and be sure to use the code FAMOUS at checkout for $100 off your timepiece! https://www.bernhardtwatch.com/Show Notes: Looking for one-on-one coaching to be famous at home? https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoaching Men, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

What if becoming a healthier leader at home doesn’t require a major overhaul, but simply a two-degree shift? High-capacity leaders know how to solve problems, make decisions, and get things done. But the skills that make you effective at work don’t always translate at home. That’s because your greatest strengths, like your drive, capacity, and ability to fix things, can keep you from slowing down, listening, and connecting with the biggest fans under your roof. In this episode, Dr. Josh explores how small relational shifts can change the way you lead in your marriage and family. He also provides small, practical, two-degree shifts that can change the trajectory of your family and the atmosphere of your home. You don’t need a 90-degree turn. You just need two degrees. *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!
