Ep 66: Receive JOY!

✨Joy is always available to you — even when your nervous system is too contracted to feel it or to even believe it.  In this episode, your hosts Chris and Felicia have a deep conversation about what happens when fear, anxiety, and your old belief systems pull you out of flow ... and how to find your way back. ✨ This episode is your permission slip to open up, to receive, and ... to remember what's already here, right in front of you. 🫶 Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453928/fan_mail/new] ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ If you loved what you heard, we'd love for you to spread the joy! ✨ 💗 And if you'd love to get in touch or work with us, you can find us here: Devin's website: https://www.drdevindegreif.com [https://drdevindegreif.com/]                insta: @drdevindegreif [https://www.instagram.com/drdevindegreif/] Chris: https://linktr.ee/chrisbrandwein [https://linktr.ee/chrisbrandwein] Felicia's website: https://www.happieryoucoaching.com [https://drdevindegreif.com/]                insta: @ [https://www.instagram.com/drdevindegreif/]iamfeliciawong ✨ Credits for the fun background music ("The Fun of Everyday Life!" 😁) go to "JK_Production007" on audiojungle!

Ep 65: Set Self-loving Boundaries!

The way we've been taught to set boundaries can unfortunately actually BLOCK your joy instead of protecting it. But the good news is: there is a different way to set them! ✨ In today's solo episode, Chris invites you into a very transformative reframe in personal growth: boundaries are most efficient, when they aren't walls built from fear and lack - which is what is classically taught! But instead, they can be acts of love that are guided by your Soul Truth (as in the guided process in this episode [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453928/episodes/17407538]), protect your energy, and support everyone around you.  So listen in and discover ... ✨ why boundaries set from fear trigger resistance in others and reinforce lack in your own reality ✨ how to distinguish between what is genuinely true for you vs what your ego or conditioning are making you believe to be true ✨ a powerful visualization practice that helps you somatically feel the difference between ALIGNED giving and energy-draining over-giving ✨ why LOVING boundaries support not just yourself, but everyone (including your kids, your relationships, and your community!) ✨ how your energetic system is already wired to guide you toward your soul truth, if you learn to listen 💞 If this episode lit something up in you: share it with someone who could benefit from hearing this as well. And ... subscribe to Joy!! 😁 So you never miss an episode!

Ep 64: Celebrating Earth Day: You Are Nature!

What if reconnecting to nature was your fastest path back to yourself?  In this episode of "Joy - The Journey of You Podcast", your hosts Chris and Felicia celebrate Earth Day by exploring one of the most potent tools for nervous system regulation, personal expansion, and authentic joy: conscious connection with the natural world. Whether you're on a walk in a forest or even deep in a bustling city or stepping into your morning shower, nature is always available to you. Chris and Felicia unpack the why behind that feeling of instant calm when you hear birdsong (spoiler: your nervous system knows something your mind doesn't), and they share how tuning into nature's frequency is scientifically and spiritually aligned with calling in more abundance, clarity, and magic in daily life. The episode closes with a guided forest bathing visualization - a powerful reset you can do anywhere - along with deep reflections from both hosts on the messages they received during the demo.

Ep 63: Why so serious?

In this solo episode, your host Felicia contemplates a pattern that sneaks into even the most self-aware lives: the habit of taking things soooo seriously that we squeeze the joy right out of them.  As a professional bowler preparing for her fifth season on the women's tour, she noticed something in a pattern: despite all the practice, all the mental prep ... the excitement was gone! That moment of honest reflection cracked something open. This episode is your invitation to release the pressure, reconnect to your authentic self, and remember why you started: in bowling, in business, in anything that matters to you. Because when you're clinging to a specific outcome, you're actually operating from scarcity. And scarcity cuts off flow. WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY ✨ How over-seriousness and outcome-clinging create tension, stuckness, and "paralysis by analysis" in everyday life ✨ The link between mindfulness for joy and making better decisions — in sport, work, and relationships ✨ A guided meditation exercise to shift from pressure and grasping into a state of grounded joy and openness ✨ Why small moments of joy collected throughout the day add up to a life that genuinely feels alive ✨ How to reconnect to your deeper "why" when the weight of expectations starts to block your natural flow Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453928/fan_mail/new] ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ If you loved what you heard, we'd love for you to spread the joy! ✨ 💗 And if you'd love to get in touch or work with us, you can find us here: Devin's website: https://www.drdevindegreif.com [https://drdevindegreif.com/]                insta: @drdevindegreif [https://www.instagram.com/drdevindegreif/] Chris: https://linktr.ee/chrisbrandwein [https://linktr.ee/chrisbrandwein] Felicia's website: https://www.happieryoucoaching.com [https://drdevindegreif.com/]                insta: @ [https://www.instagram.com/drdevindegreif/]iamfeliciawong ✨ Credits for the fun background music ("The Fun of Everyday Life!" 😁) go to "JK_Production007" on audiojungle!
