Ever found yourself saying, “I don’t even know what I like anymore”? You’re not alone. Between careers, caregiving, endless checklists, and the constant pull to keep everyone else afloat, it’s easy to lose touch with the things that once brought you joy.

In this heartfelt episode of Chasing Brighter, we’re diving into what happens when we forget what we love—and how to find our way back. Joy isn’t frivolous, it’s fuel. It’s the spark that helps regulate your nervous system, builds resilience, and reminds you that you’re more than just your responsibilities.

✨ We’ll talk about:

• 
  

  How anxiety, people-pleasing, and parenting can drown out your inner voice

  
  


• 
  

  Why joy isn’t indulgent—it’s essential for your well-being

  
  


• 
  

  Simple ways to reconnect: a “passion audit,” exploring without pressure, and prioritizing play over perfection

  
  


• 
  

  How even 10 minutes of joy a day can shift your mood, energy, and outlook
