How Do My Joys Shape Who I Am?

In this episode of the Beauty In-Between podcast, we’re exploring how giving space and priority to the things that bring you joy in your life can show you more of who you are.

We talk about all the things: joy, personal growth, and where community overlaps with video games and coffee culture. Recognizing and embracing personal joys does make an impact on your growth. We had fun talking in this episode about the intersection of identity and enjoyment, and the value of slowing down to appreciate life's simple pleasures. We hope this conversation encourages you to find the slow joys in your life.
