"Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day." – Henri Nouwen
This week on The Modern Creative Woman Podcast, Dr. Amy shares reflections from hosting a benefit tea party for I Support the Girls and how small, simple acts of service can ripple out into meaningful change.
Then we dive deep into the psychology of wonder and awe — what they are, how they shape our perception of the world, and why openness to experience makes us more likely to feel them. You’ll learn:
✨ The difference between happiness, wonder, and awe
✨ What personality trait predicts your ability to feel awe
✨ Simple daily practices to spark wonder — from sky-gazing to art-making
✨ Why cultivating awe can shift your mindset and boost well-being
This episode will leave you inspired to slow down, look around, and notice the extraordinary in the everyday.
