This week marks the final episode of JOY IS NOW. I discuss my decision to end such an incredibly fun and joyful project and why ending now is a completely new experience for me. Thank you so much for listening. It has been an honor to have you here. While Joy is coming to a close, I’m not done with podcasting. Moving forward, all Joy episodes will be available for my newsletter subscribers - you can sign up at the link below. And I’ll be creating a new podcast for subscribers, Alchemy - think of it as a place where data driven science and the wildly creative make out. I’ll be talking more about Human design, business mentorship and answering all the questions you can send my way. I hope you will join me there. I promise a good time.

For now, let’s think of endings like we do Joy. Big and full of potential.

Hi Friends and welcome to JOY IS NOW! The podcast where we take a psychologically minded look at life. I’m your host Lisa Anderson Shaffer, coach, consultant, and resident psych enthusiast.I am excited to host for an EMOTION discussion, San Francisco based jewelry designer and consultant wielding her torch like a real badass for good, SHARON ZIMMERMAN.

We talk RESILIENCE, how we don't think it is as important as it seems and how it is often used as a way to bypass being appropriately affected by stress and trauma. In short, we kind of flip the bird on the research and have a great time doing it. Join the conversation, it's a good one.
