Finding Your Joy Codes

We've been living backwards.

The lives we've been encouraged to build, rooted in consumption, achievement, and constant productivity, keep pushing us further from what actually creates lasting joy.

But decades of research tells us plenty, we know what makes humans thrive.

We've known for years.

Why haven't we been encouraged to prioritize what makes us happier? Well, because it's not really in any corporate best-interests for us to be joy-fuelled and loved-up. (Spoiler: joyful people are harder to control and sell things to.)

In this Christmas Eve episode, I'm sharing the 10 Joy Codes I've discovered and distilled for my upcoming book 'Joy First', These the research-backed sources of joy that are fundamental to human thriving. Think of them as the building blocks of a life that actually feels good to live (and that allows you that life in a healthy body and mind for longer!)

Plus, I reveal my simple joy goal for 2026 (complete with phone alarm and daily ritual that takes less than 2 minutes). Want to play along? I'm creating a space for us to share in the New Year...

Because choosing joy first isn't selfish: It's liberation work. And we're all in it together!

What you'll discover:

• The 10 Joy Codes backed by decades of research
• The Harvard Study that will change how you think about success
• The correlation between joy and longevity
• My ridiculously simple 2026 joy goal (and how to create your own)

This is your permission slip to move closer to what actually matters to both you and our collective well-being in 2026 and beyond.
